The Volksgym S5-36 is a complete Olympic flat bench press station — not just a bench pad, but a full setup with integrated barbell uprights, j-hooks, and safety catches. At AED 3,599 and 55 kg gross weight, the S5-36 provides everything you need for barbell bench pressing in a single unit, no separate squat rack required.

Complete bench press station in one package

Most flat benches in the Volksgym range are standalone pads — you need a separate squat rack or barbell stands to hold the bar. The S5-36 eliminates that requirement. The integrated uprights hold your barbell at the correct starting height, and you lie down and press. For home gyms where a full power cage isn't practical (space or budget constraints), the S5-36 delivers a proper bench press setup in a smaller footprint.

At 55 kg gross weight, the S5-36 is a substantial piece of equipment — the heaviest bench in Volksgym's range. This mass provides the stability needed for heavy barbell pressing. The wide packing dimensions (1750 x 1560 x 1210 mm) indicate a generously sized frame with adequate spacing between uprights for comfortable unracking.

Technical specifications

Who should buy the S5-36

• Home gym builders without a power cage — if you want to bench press with a barbell but don't have space for a full squat rack, the S5-36 is the all-in-one solution.
• Dedicated bench press enthusiasts — the integrated uprights are positioned specifically for bench pressing, which means optimal bar path and unrack angle — something adjustable squat rack hooks can't always guarantee.
• Garage and villa gym setups — the 55 kg weight and large footprint suit dedicated gym rooms with enough space for a permanent station.

Frequently asked questions

S5-36 vs buying a separate bench + rack?

A standalone bench (VB-31 at AED 1,499) plus a basic squat stand (AED 1,500–2,500) gives you more versatility — you can squat, overhead press, and bench press. The S5-36 (AED 3,599) is a bench press specialist: optimised for that one movement with perfect upright positioning. Choose the S5-36 if bench press is your primary lift and you don't need a squat rack. Choose separate equipment if you need a multi-exercise setup.

Can I squat with this?

No. The S5-36 is designed specifically for flat bench pressing. The upright height and spacing are optimised for bench press unracking, not squat positioning. For squats, you need a separate squat rack or power cage.
