Monster Westside Bench
Made in the USA from 3x3" 11-Gauge Steel, the Monster Westside Bench stands among the most versatile, heavy-duty, uncompromising bench racks ever built. Like our original Westside Bench, it’s inspired by the groundbreaking designs of Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell. By incorporating new features from our Monster Series 2.0 power racks, however, we’ve created an entirely new animal—fully equipped and precision manufactured for the high-performance athlete.

I have had this bench for over 10 years, and it has always been solid. I added an Edge Systems Monolift as well as a Fat Pad.
Easy to add chains/bands for accommodating resistance.

robustly built, likely more than would ever be needed in a home gym. I've used this bench several times at Jacked & Jilled gym; very sturdy and the thick pad is very comfy, though not something to get used to if you plan to compete. Outside of a busy commercial gym, I don't see the appeal for this particular design. There are a number of dedicated bench press racks that have similar footprint with integrated weight plate storage and other features that this bench lacks. I'm happy to use it at someone else's place, but this isn't what I'd select for my own gym with its very limited space.

Not an awesome idea IMO. The bench isn't competition standard, and I'm personally not a fan of Rogue's strap safety system . This style of bench is usually seen being used with metal rod spotter for thingslike pin presses, etc, but its very different with those. You're better off spending a little more for a combo rack or just wheeling a bench into a rack

Even at our commercial gym this style of bench almost never gets used since it's not comp specific and for a home gym it lacks The versatility justified at the price point of over $1500

Nicely built piece from Rogue with some trade offs. While having a bench in what equates to a cut off 24" deep monster rack is nice, it doesn't allow you to do anything other than flat bench. This normally wouldn't be an issue but at a price of $1600 before shipping you could get something more versatile. Also due to the 24" depth some attachments inside (like mono hooks) can feel a bit cramped.
