does this table let you TOTALLY invert? I don't want to be on an incline when I do my inverted crunches... Thanks

Yes it does. I love this table. Have had it for years now and still works great.

Yes the table does allow you to totally invert. It is adjustable with a bar for your angle. When you take the adjustable bat completely out you can be totally upside down.

We have one of these and it is great. However, I don't see how you could do crunches on it unless you would lock it from moving. It is designed to return to its upright position as you lift your upper body. I suppose you could re-balance the table so it would be heavy on one end. That would involve unbolting it to change the balance point.

You can adjust the angle by adjusting the strap underneath the table. I have mine let out completely because I invert completely upside down but it can be adjusted to however far you want to go. God bless you!

It may be necessary to move the board you are laying on to another position because the spot identified on the machine isn't where your weight is distributed evenly. I had to adjust mine from a height of 5' 10' to over 6 ' because I have more weight in my upper body than lower. If you are a woman, you may have to pick a setting that is 2-4" below your actual height. You should be able to invert by raising one or both hands over your head and return to an upright position by putting your arms by your side and moving your butt towards feet just a few inches. Good luck!

This will most definitely invert completely upside down. Worth the money. Friend bought this one Hubby is big guy she a little lady. Both are very happy with it. I bought body champ. Does not take as much weight. But it also goes upside down. Happy with this perches also. Hope this helped.

My back pain is in my lower back so I can't really evaluate the mid back pain. It is fine for the lower back but quite honestly I prefer my inversion table. The thing with inversion is not to try and do too much too quickly. My chiropractor pointed out that 5% grade was sufficient and as you become comfortable increase it. Admittedly an inversion table takes up more room but if you have the space that is the way I would go. I have not used my Nubax for some time.

I would check with the manufacturer on that one. I use the inversion bar, not the table.

On the lowest setting, no. You basically push your hips forward while squeezing your buttocks. This contraption is amazing! only thing i have found to actually help me. Good luck

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.

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

First off, there are two adjustments that might prevent that. The unit cones with an adjustable strap. You adjust how far you want to be inverted. Shorten it up at first, thus limiting your verticle position. When fully comfortable then loosen it up to go fully verticle. Secondly, you adjust the position of your feet relative to the units pivot point. If you are alone, I would suggest setting it for a fairly tall person, which places a good amt of your weight in the upright position. You can however maneuver yourself back to verticle using the dual handle bars also

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

It certainly is sturdy enough. I've tried to do them on there; I haven't been successful tho. It's kinda hard to do (at least for me) to get a good crunch in while hanging at a 90 angle. 90 is the only position it'll lock in for the crunches. I kinda wish I could lock it in at a lesser angle to do some crunches on, but when u try to do crunches at any other angle, it just brings u back to the upright position.

Yes...excellent inversion table, can also lock into several degrees. You can also do inverted sit ups...

It doesn't but I have done a few crunches on it without it flipping back up. There is also a safety strap that it comes with that could probably be rigged to lock it in full inversion. It's plenty stable for exercise too. But you would have to "rig" it.

Yes, you can turn them any way you like. I've found myself having unintentionally rotated the weights switching between exercises to the point the logo (on top) was completely upside down. There was no change in the plate positioning, weight distribution, grip, etc. I've had (and very actively) used these for six months now and they are phenomenal.
