Weight benches make strength training convenient

Weight benches are one piece of gym equipment that appear in almost every home gym. Add a set of dumbbells, and/or a bar and weights, and there's no part of your body you can't work. Also, many benches accommodate additional attachments for strength training such areas as the legs, upper back, arms, etc.

While it would be possible to do many exercises without weight benches, it would be a lot more difficult. Best to save the work for the actual strength training workout, and make the exercise setup as convenient as possible.
