The Volksgym S5-41 is a dedicated flat bench from Volksgym's S5 series — a fixed-angle bench built for one purpose: providing a stable, level surface for barbell bench press, dumbbell pressing, and single-arm rows. At AED 1,199, the S5-41 occupies the entry point of Volksgym's professional flat bench range, above the budget adjustable benches but below the commercial S6 and CF series.

Why choose a flat bench over adjustable

An adjustable bench offers angle versatility but introduces mechanical complexity — hinges, locking pins, and moving joints that can develop play over time. A dedicated flat bench has no moving parts in the pad assembly. The pad is welded or bolted at a fixed angle, which means zero lateral movement during pressing, no risk of the back pad shifting mid-set, and a longer service life under heavy use.

If you already own an adjustable bench for incline work and want a separate, rock-solid platform for flat pressing, a dedicated flat bench is the right addition.

Technical specifications

Who should buy the S5-41

• Barbell bench press users — if flat barbell bench press is a core lift in your programme, a dedicated flat bench provides the most stable pressing surface possible.
• Home gym users adding a second bench — use your adjustable bench for incline/decline work and the S5-41 for flat pressing. Two benches, zero compromise.
• Users who value durability over versatility — no hinges or adjustment mechanisms means no wear points. The S5-41 will outlast any adjustable bench under equivalent use.

Frequently asked questions

S5-41 vs VB-31 flat bench — what's the difference?

The VB-31 (AED 1,499) is a heavier flat bench at 25 kg with a larger pad area (1410 x 560 x 430 mm). The S5-41 (AED 1,199) is the entry-level S5-series flat bench. If you want a wider, heavier pad for maximum stability, the VB-31 justifies the AED 300 premium. If budget is the priority, the S5-41 provides a solid flat pressing surface for AED 300 less.

Do I need a squat rack to use this?

For barbell bench press, yes — you need a squat rack, power cage, or independent barbell stands to hold the bar at the start position. The S5-41 is a standalone bench with no uprights. For dumbbell work and bodyweight exercises, no additional equipment is needed.
