So the bench never goes completely flat? The notches make it go either a little incline or decline but never truly flat? How close to flat can you get

The bench does go completely flat. You have 3 incline options for the seat and about 8 or so for the back rest.

You can make it a flat bench, you just have to be smarter than the bench. That said, it is poorly designed, and you do have to fight it a little on occasion.

The bench has a -15 degree decline position, 0 degree flat position and approximately 25, 45, 60 and 75 degree incline positions. The 75 degree position is almost fully vertical but not quite. Hope this helps. Craig Z.

No it's not straight or goes invert just slight decline and incline and horizontal perfect for benching and legs not for say military push ups. Hope this helps gives u an idea but it's a nice strong bench.

The bench will lock into 9 positions. The bench will do a slight decline in its lowest setting, flat, and 7 different incline positions. The highest incline is not exactly 90 degrees but it is very close and definitely adequate enough to do shoulder presses. Hope this helps

Not as far as I have determined. It seems to stay in a fixed position. I have not been able to adjust the incline.

I would sit in the middle of the bench though... I weigh 209 and sat near the end of one of the benches right after assembly and caused the table to pop up on the opposite side a little. I wasn't testing it on purpose or anything... just an observation. I do like the table.

Yes the bench lays flat for your normal bench press and a 60" bar may be too short. Use the standard olympic bar. 7 foot bar

It will *not* go flat. I use mine daily, for hours. It's comfortable but offers support as well. By far the best I've ever had. Others have either been hard as a rock or mushy. I love this one.

Yes it does. It can actually decline a little beyond flat if you want for doing crunches.

The bench moves up to around. 85 degree angle. What do you mean by full? Do you mean 90degree angle?

It does incline. Both stands collapse, which makes for great storage. In order to turn it to an incline bench, simply collapse one stand. However, a standard incline bench at the gym is 60 degrees. The incline on this bench is 35 degrees (although you can do some jacking up of your own - not factory recommended though). It is not a proper decline bench since there are no feet hooks. In short, this is a great bench for storage. If you need other utilities such as a seat during incline, then look elsewhere.

I'm 5'9 and at first the bench felt a bit high, but I read a post about putting the bench into the first incline position which just slightly tips up the top and lowers the bottom of the bench and this allowed me to put my feet flat on the ground without feeling like the bench is in an incline position. If this is still too tall for you, you could place your feet on the feet of the bench which will elevate them a bit. Your best bet would be to find a place where you can try it out. I really hope this bench works for you because this is an amazing bench for the price. Their Dumbbells are next on my list of products. I am officially an Ironmaster fanboy now.

I have used mine for about a month now and they are holding up very well. I did place a 2X4 at the bottom of the bench to keep the rack at the incline I wanted. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I think the trai would sit flat, but this bench might be a little too low as a table.

the legs do not fold flat at all (for storage purposes, etc)... just the top part for doing bench presses.

The bench declines. I've had it in that position. However, there is only one decline position. It is not possible to remove the leg part and keep the preacher curl. That is a one piece assembly.
