See A Personal Trainer Bench Press Using Dumbbells Thanks to Dualbell

You Don’t Own Plates, But You Bench Like You Do

At Dualbell, we designed our product for one reason: to help people get the most out of the gear they already own. In our latest Trainer Trial, we put that to the test—this time with a classic barbell movement: the bench press.

We met up again with personal trainer Jordy Alexander at Strong By Lee, a private training gym in White Plains, NY, to see how Dualbell performs on the bench.

The Setup: Dumbbells In, Bench Press Out

Like many home gym owners, Jordy had plenty of dumbbells on hand—but no barbell or weight plates. Using Dualbell, he slid his dumbbells into the device, secured them with standard weight collars, and got to pressing on a flat bench.

His first reaction?

"That actually feels just like a regular barbell bench press."

That’s exactly what we love to hear.

Why This Matters for Home Gyms

Traditional bench pressing requires:

• A barbell

• A full set of plates

• Enough storage for both

That adds up fast—in space, cost, and complexity.

With Dualbell, you can:
✅ Use dumbbells like weight plates
✅ Perform over 50 barbell-style exercises
✅ Store the entire system in a small drawstring bag

It’s ideal for home gyms, apartment setups, and even mobile trainers who want to bring a full workout setup without lugging heavy gear.

Versatility Meets Simplicity

This bench press trial isn’t a one-off. Jordy has already tested Dualbell for landmine exercises and gave it a thumbs up. In this follow-up, we’re showing how Dualbell handles staple strength exercises like the bench press—with no compromises.

If you’re looking to expand your workout options without overloading your space or budget, Dualbell just might be your new favorite tool.
