Does the bench portion decline so you can you do decline sit-ups/crunches?

The bench has three adjustable positions; upright, flat, and a decline of about 45 degrees.

The back rest part declines so you can do deep sit ups and set in the lay down position for crunches. It's better designed for 5'6" individuals and probably be more of a challenge for anyone taller

It does decline so that you can modify your crunches. The only thing i haven't been able to do with this bench that I had hoped to be able to, is back extensions, but only because the padded bars that support your legs aren't adjustable. Overall it is perfect for my home gym and worth every penny

Yes, Just know the bench is a little wobbly. You'll need to buy new screws at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Yes. The bench can be set up so the long side and short side are reversed from how it is shown in the picture.

Yes you can you become completely inverted I have not done any ab workout, because I can not stay inverted for very long, the blood runs to my head This is very hard to assemble, the instuctions are not very good. If you do purchase this, when putting together finger tighten the screws first and then tighten after assembled. I used a small rolled up towel behind my back for strech, that seems to help. If I could do over, I really dont think I would purchase.

Yes you can do crunches and sit-ups. And if you can find a way to weight your feet back extensions.

No I can bench the whole stack. I'm doing 45 reps with the entire stack now. I wish I bought a machine with more weight. I'm 5' 7" and 40 years old.

Sorry no you cannot do back crunches is made to forward/stomach crunches with weight plates if wanted/needed.

Yes. I combine exercises. I put my weight on the floor an arm's length away. While in the down position, I keep my arms straight and lift the weight above my chest. I then do several presses, after which I do a sit-up while still hiding the weight close to my chest. Alternatively, I do the sit-up first and then press the weight when I am in the top position. Finally, in half sit-up position I shift the weight from side to side (dumbbell or kettle bell). Pure torture. Note that there is no rack on which to rest the weight, as with a bench.

Definitely no sit-ups... Weights in the back. Running yes. Burpees probably not safe on your back.

Correct. The leg, without the floor guards in the picture, folds under to yield an incline or decline bench. Mine has a carrying handle vice a strap so that it can be moved easily.

It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's a few inches of gap. It does not affect the bench. I will say this. It is not commercial grade gym quality bench. It can get a little wobbly when using heavy weight. I bench 225. It's great for dumbbells and the preacher curl is a huge plus but again a little wobbly with heavy weight. I find this bench to be one if best out there.

It has a nice decline. I have not used for sit-ups yet, but It probably will work great.

No the bench is made of two parts. One is the squat rack which can be raised for squats and lowered for bench press. The other part is the actual bench which has the curl bar and leg extension machine built in. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is an "exercise" sheet it comes with and shows how situps can be done. If you put the back rest in the full decline position, then you can sit on the seat, wedge your ankles in and do some situps. It's tough because your back doesn't really hit anything - tighten your abs to stay horizontal and then back up.

Decline position is scary. The pin does come out occasionally due to the wobble of the main bench. I just double check every time I use it.

It's in a fixed position. A sit up/ decline Bench only. And it not adjustable at all.But for sit ups it works fine.

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped. J

I don't think so - it would be a different item. (It is a nice bench with both incline & decline capabilities.)
