Bench-Press is a G.I. Joe character from the live-action film series.

Bench-Press is a surfer and weightlifter, and has no trouble adapting to new situations. In addition to his heavy machine gun, he also carries around an axe and a chainsaw, like a crazy person would.

He's one of the few Joes to not wear the standard blue camouflage, opting instead for a more traditional green. He has a bullet belt tattoo cuff on his left forearm.
