Product Details

This is the setup you see on the platform at powerlifting meets—just built smarter.

  • Competition-style station → Assemble a proper four-post layout for serious benching.
  • Floating bench design → The bench hangs between crossmembers with ZERO posts underneath—so you can tuck your feet back without hitting anything.
  • IPF height locked in → Bench height stays within competition spec, no matter how you configure your J-cups or safeties.
  • Dialed-in precision → The Hydra version has 1" hole spacing that lets you fine-tune your bench setup so everything lines up exactly how you want it.
  • Build it your way → Choose your J-cups, safeties, monolift, and attachments—this isn’t a fixed station, it’s your station.
  • Stable, centered setup → Specialty crossmembers keep the bench locked in place so your position stays consistent from warm-ups to PR attempts.
  • More than a bench station → Pop the optional Manticore mag pins (compatible with the cross-ecosystem crossmember), roll the bench out, and use the uprights for dips, rows, and other attachments.
  • Heavy-duty construction → Thick gauge steel, competition-style pad, and a setup built to handle serious weight.


Why the Four Converter Bench?

Because when the weight gets heavy, your setup matters.

  • Maximum leg drive → No front posts means nothing gets in the way of your foot position.
  • Consistent competition feel → Train the same way you compete—same height, same setup, every session.
  • All-in-one station → Bench, train accessories, and expand your setup without adding more bulky equipment.
  • Built for serious lifters → Stable, precise, and made for people who care about their bench setup.

Product Features

  • Floating Bench, Zero Post Interference

    The bench hangs between the crossmembers, so there are no posts under you. Tuck your feet back as far as you want.

  • Fully Modular Station — Build It Your Way

    Pick your J-cups, safeties, attachments, and accessories. Roller, sandwich, monolift—this isn’t a fixed setup, it’s your setup.

  • 1" Hydra Hole Spacing

    Dial in your J-cups and safeties to the exact millimeter. Tight spacing means precision setups for competition-style training.

  • IPF Competition Height

    Bench height stays within IPF specs in any setup, thanks to the specialty crossmember’s adjustable hole pattern.

  • Compatible With 3" x 3" Attachments

    Dip attachment, seal row pad, monolift, roller J-cups, sandwich J-cups, safety straps — spec this out however you want.

  • Specialty 43" Crossmembers

    Get a locked-in, centered setup with specialty crossmembers that keep your bench steady, rep after PR-breaking rep.

  • Hydra or Manticore Uprights

    Choose the upright system that fits your 3” x 3” ecosystem; ours, or a competitors’.

  • Thick Competition Pad

    Firm enough for stability, comfortable enough for long sessions. No weird gaps, no cheap foam. Your back will thank you.

  • Quick Bench Removal

    Pop the optional Manticore mag pins, wheel the bench out, and your uprights are ready for anything else—dips, rows, or whatever you’re training next.

Product Details


The four-post bench station is what you see at powerlifting meets and serious commercial gyms. It’s a dedicated bench press station, made your way when you add your favorite safeties and j-cups — and the Converter Bench makes it happen.

What makes this one different from the competition is the floating bench design.

The Converter Bench hangs between the specialty crossmembers with ZERO POSTS UNDERNEATH. That means you can tuck your feet back as far as you want without hitting anything. For powerlifters who rely on leg drive, this is a big deal.

Hydra’s 1" hole spacing lets you dial in your J-cups and safeties to the exact position you need. Choose between roller J-cups, sandwich J-cups, regular J-cups, monolift attachment — spec this station out however you want. For more versatility, grab 4 Manticore Mag Pins (Full Length), so when you’re done benching, you can pop the pins, wheel the bench out, and use the uprights for other attachments. Dips. Seal rows. Whatever.

60" Hydra uprights built with the 3”x3” and 5/8" hole cross-brand compatibility you know and love (or hate, if you work for a competitor.) Looking for 1" holes? We make a 60" Manticore version, too. Either way, you’re getting IPF competition height and a four-post station that’s more versatile than anything else on the market.

This setup includes the Converter Bench and a pair of specialty 43" crossmembers (also available separately). Choose your j-cups and safeties to seal the deal. It’s also compatible with the spotter deck we’re developing so your favorite hander-offer (technical term) can get in on the action.
