The weight bench with dumbbell supports is a conventional weight bench that features two additional vertical supports that enable the bench to accommodate dumbbells. These supports would be produced from square metal tubing, but their bottoms would be angled for attachment to the exterior of the weight bench's existing vertical supports. Ultimately, each support would be welded to the exterior of the bench's vertical support, thereby creating a solid, one-piece support featuring a forked design on each side of the bench. The upper portion of each additional vertical support would feature a wide metal plate at its top. The ends of each plate would be angled upward to securely hold the end of a dumbbell. The dumbbell supports could also be offered as an aftermarket accessory for installation on existing weight benches.
