400 kg, or 882 lb, including dumbbells. The rating covers the lifter and whatever they bring onto the bench together, so there is no separate allowance to add for the weights in your hands. NOHrD builds it for commercial gym facilities on that figure as well as for private rooms.

Eight, running from flat through to a steep incline. The seat adds two positions of its own underneath, which gives sixteen combinations of the two pads. Both are set by hand with no tools and no pins.

Lift the backrest. It travels to the next position and locks there automatically, so the change is a single upward movement with one hand. It matters between sets, when the other hand is usually still holding a dumbbell, and it keeps all eight angles in regular use.

The bench measures 135 x 35 x 44 cm overall. The backrest pad is 90 x 32 cm and the seat pad is 39 x 30 cm. At 44 cm the pad sits at a standard bench height for dumbbell pressing, and the 90 cm backrest carries a torso and a head through the full range of angles.

20 kg, or 44 lb. One person slides it under a rack, turns it around or pushes it against a wall at the end of a session. It arrives in a single carton of 120 x 40 x 36.5 cm weighing 25 kg, which goes up a domestic stair without a crew.

Yes, and it is straightforward: one package, assembled on site. There is no wall fixing and no floor anchor, so once it is together it can be repositioned freely.

It is a solid wood frame with metal reinforcement running through it. The reinforcement carries the load path from the pads into the legs, which is how a 20 kg bench reaches a 400 kg rating without a heavier timber section. The visible surfaces are wood in the finish you choose, and they carry NOHrD's hard wax oil.

Synthetic leather wipes down between users and holds its colour under sweat and cleaning products, which is the choice for a shared or commercial room. Genuine leather ages and darkens with handling and suits a bench that lives somewhere it will be looked at. Both are offered on all six woods, which is where the twelve combinations come from.

Six: Shadow, Oak, Vintage, Club, Cherry and Walnut, cheapest to dearest in that order. Shadow is a black-stained wood-veneered panel, Oak is the pale open grain, Vintage carries an aged character finish, Club prices level with Vintage through the middle of the ladder, Cherry runs warm toward red, and Walnut is the darkest of the six.

Yes. The NOHrD SquatRack extends to leave floor between its two columns for exactly this, and its barbell rests are rated to 200 kg (441 lb) as a separate figure from the bench's 400 kg. The WeightPlate Tower and Bars supplies the 160 cm Pumper barbell, which loads to 62 kg, and 20 plates to go on it.

Different loads and different jobs. The WeightBench takes 400 kg including dumbbells, adjusts through eight backrest angles and weighs 20 kg. The TriaTrainer weighs 15 kg, carries a 120 kg maximum user weight, and folds into three shapes including an abdominal position and a 140 cm flat bench. Heavy pressing points at the WeightBench; a small room with mixed bodyweight and dumbbell work points at the TriaTrainer.

One year from the date of shipment, taken to two years on components and two years on wooden components by registering the bench inside that first year. Spare parts carry ninety days. The term applies to private and commercial use alike, and it excludes normal wear, modification and skipped maintenance.
