    whats the thing called holding the weight?

    My bench is pretty much just a bench with an attached preacher, there is nothing to hold the weight so i cant do bench press or skull crushers all im using it for right now is biceps and rows, and if i wanted to do bench id have to have 2 spotters but thats dumb so i need to buy the weight rest that holds the weight, but what are they called? i looked on google but i couldnt find the name for it. ill show what i mean

    or build a power rack, put the bench in it and there you go.

    You can use it for squats, pretty much anything
