Weight training for athletes
If you are an athlete you will need to of course have the bench press, but you will also need some form of squat rack that will allow you to do squats, olympic lifts and have a way if your weight bench is not a bench press to be able to hold the bar bell weights. Being able to do leg extensions, leg curls and leg press means you need some kind of equipment that allows you to do so. Many weight benches you can purchase often times have a leg extension and leg curl but no leg press. The leg press is not a mandatory piece of equipment due to the ability to use the squat rack to use the same muscles with less cost.
