Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this Hyper/roman chair made by Powertec because I own Powertec's leverage workbench and it is an OUTSTANDING, SOLID piece of equipment so, I thought that I couldn't go wrong with their Roman Chair- I was correct to think so. The P-HR 45 by Powertec feels extremely SOLID while in use. The previous review complained about the pads being set to far apart- I did not find that to be so. I actually think that Powertec did this so that men could do Hyperextensions on this equipment in comfort and not have to worry about the family jewels being ruined. (Thanks Powertec!) Most Hyper/Roman chairs that I have seen are a bit huge. This chair surprisingly takes up very little space. It is very important that you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when putting this together. It states that you should NOT tighten the bolts when putting this together until all the bolts are in place. I put all bolts into place and then tightened them starting from the bottom of the chair and worked my way up. TRUST me when I tell you that you should take heed to this as it really does make a difference as to how solid this machine will feel to you when you are using it. To me, there is nothing more important than to have your abs and lower back in there absolute best shape. Do yourself a favor and add this EXCELLENT piece of equipment to your home gym.

Stamina Ab/Hyper Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Note that this review refers to the identical Stamina Ab/Hyper bench bought directly from Amazon [...] (with free super saver shipping) and not from Target [...]. You can locate the Amazon.com item by searching Stamina ab/hyper bench in the Sports and Outdoors section.
Delivery: the item arrived promptly and was well packaged; there was no damage.
Assembly: uncomplicated and took under 30 minutes; instructions were straightforward; the bench can be easily folded and stored away.
Country of origin: China.
Construction: the steel frame is fairly light, but sturdy; no rickety parts; every single joint is thoroughly welded; the bench does not rock or tip during exercise; paint job is A+; padding is a little on a flimsy side and I do not expect it to last as long as my previous bench; the manufacturer specifies 250 lbs as a user weight limit.
Dimensions: the seat is only 28.5 inches long, so decide for yourself whether this is adequate for you; I would estimate that anyone over 6 ft tall will have difficulty using this product for sit-ups.
The vertical component of the bench (tilted 40 degrees and used for back hyperextension exercises) has adjustable height and will accommodate just about any sized human (but do not forget the 250 lbs weight limit); it does excellent job isolating the lower back muscles.
Overall appearance: it looks like a quality product overall, from stitching to glossy finish; the design is certainly compact and clever for what this bench does.
Price: $[...] for a bench like this, including delivery, is a good value.
Rating: 4 stars; there are nicer products out there, but they are all bulkier and more expensive.

Champion Back and Abdominal Exercise Bench Gym Equipment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent piece of equipment for the money. I bought it from [...] for [...] plus tax(paid tax only because it was sent from a Texas based company and I live in the Houston area) with free shipping. The pictures are a little deceiving. It shows to be a one piece all weld construction, but it's not. The leg stem and the section with the seat and handles bolt to the horseshoe shaped base. But once I put together, it is solid a rock. It took a whole 15 minutes to put together and that was with my 4 yr old trying to help me.
When they advertise that it will not topple over, it surely will NOT do that. It's very stout, unlike some of the $300 and $400 units you get that will get wobble after a few years of use. Also, It has a good powder coating. The padding in the picture they use looks cheap, but what you actually get is not. They use thick padding in the seat and rollers with a good/thick vinyl cover.
To sum it all up: It would be nicer if the leg piece was "up and down" adjustable, but works great as is. It's like the old style roman chair/hyperextension in the high school gym back in the 80's. And one more thing: The packaging was pretty beat up and opened and therefore was scruffed up a bit. Waiting to hear back from [...] about that.
Hope this is a helpful review. I tried to find one, but couldn't. So, I thought I would put one out there.

Powerline PHYP200X 45 Degree Hyperextension Bench Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice, sturdy quality unit and fairly easy to assemble. Much better than a cheaper one I purchased that collapsed on me, so worth the extra money. (I'm 260# and have no problems or concerns with this unit capacity-wise.) My only complaint is that the "handlebars" are too close together, and I have to concentrate on missing them. Six inches further apart would be nice. If you're average-sized or smaller, you shouldn't have a problem.

Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this chair much better than the ones where you sit high up off the ground with your legs straight out, and your feet are secured by only your toes under a single set of pads.
I also like the fact that the support pad is declined "backwards". I believe this is a more natural position and allows for great, safe, natural, range of motion, with less stress on your lower back. Especially since the legs are not pointing straight out, like in other models. Most pads are horizontal, or worse, inclined "forwards", which is OK if doing hyperextensions for the back, but it's not ideal for doing abdominal work. Most "Roman Chair / Hyperextension" combo machines (the ones that are for both back and abs) are more user friendly for the Lower Back when doing hyperextensions. But not so user friendly for the abs, especially if you are just an average Joe starting out (as opposed to the fitness models shown standing next to the machines). I particularly believe if you are overweight, especially if heavy, you really want to pick the right machine for ab work. A poorly designed machine will stress the lower back even more, disproportionally, the heavier you are. This machine is great for beginners or advanced users. It's also much easier to grab an olympic plate off the floor while using this model, because it sits low to the ground, and you can do sit-ups with the plate across your chest. If you are just starting out, keep your hands low, near your hips. As you progress you can raise your arms up higher, eventually over your head, to add "weight" to the exercise. Eventually adding weights if you want. The unit is also very compact, lightweight, and stores easier than most models. It's quite rugged, and very stable while using it. Assembly was a cinch. No complaints. I highly recommend this model. Note: if you are very tall, over 6 ft, it is possible to hit your head on the ground if you swing back wildly. Just be mindful of that.

Glute & Ham String Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This GHD has been a fantastic addition to our home gym. Very strudy and will hardly budge when used. We've put this bench through the wringer over the past year and the only thing that has happened is the stitching on the pads has busted loose. Nothing that a little duct tape could not fix but given that we have used it consistently in our CF workouts I have to say we have more than gotten our money out of the device. Very rugged construction and the frame is all steel ( about 150lbs weight). If you're looking for a rugged GHD that won't break the bank this is the device to purchase. If you're concerned about height/weight ratio on the bench I'm of an athletic build 6'1 230lbs my other workout partners are 5'8 190 and 5'10 220. None of us have ever had any problem using the bench or feeling as if it couldn't support us in any of the exercises we've done on the GHD.

BodyCraft F670 Hyper-Extension / Roman Chair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a solid piece of gear, clean and heavy, that my wife ordered 6 weeks ago, back-ordered and just arrived. It's very functional as for back extensions, and seems okay for sit-ups.
Although they put all the bolts and caps on that could be done prior to packaging, it still took an hour to assemble because the text in the directions was just plain WRONG!. Step #1 was correct and was a good start, but after a few minutes of head scratching from step #2 instructing to "Attach Front Support (2) to Stabilizer (1)" that are on opposite ends of the machine, I just followed the pictures. They're very well drawn and assembly was easy after that.
It could use a few pictures to figure out how to use it, but they can be googled up (under google photos). We're happy with it, sure beats the as seen on TV yard sale next year trash...

Body Sold Heavy Duty Roman Chair GRCH322 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these three years ago.
There is little question that this is a basic "Roman Chair." You CANNOT get a better exercise for your back, abdomen or lower shoulders.
This will help you do situps and backups. It will strengthen your back and abdomen so that you can easily engage in other more aerobic exercises.
After you get up to about thirty reps on this chair, you will be able to walk better and perform almost any other kind of exercise with ease.
I highly recommend this particular model because it is very well-built, very well-engineered, and, "Body Solid" guarantees it for a lifetime. It is a deal on this listing because you get free shipping. For a heavy piece of equipment like this, free shipping brings this piece within the very affordable range.
