How well does the decline work for sit-ups?

not too great for sit-ups....doesn't decline comfortably for me vs just using the floor

This is a great bench for back excercises, it works the abs too but I don't know if you could use it for doing situps easily. I find if you lift yourself up when doing the back extensions it hits the abs pretty hard.

It will help if used daily. Get an ab belt back support. They really shed the pooch and cost around 12 dollars. I wear mine all day and noticed I'm slimmer. Doing ab workout would be beneficial too. Don't rely on one thing to solve the problem.

Hmmmm, well it has consistently worked for me. Yes, the seat does slide down the cane post to be in the "sitting" position. The seat easily slides back up again and lays flat against the cane post. I don't see any probability that the mechanism would fail, but I'm not an engineer.

I would not recommend this equipment for anything other than decline sit-ups...which it is perfect...

Hi, I'm not totally sure if it targets the belly fat.. It reduces the appetite which make u eat less and will of course eventually shrink the tummy but it's an overall thing I think at least from my experience.

You can drop the back and do decline situps. It is bolted to the fram so not easily removed

It declines for decline bench press but someone would probably have to hold your feet for the situps.

yes it will my butt was saggy and it had dents on it and after taking them for 4 days the dents started going away and my butt is a little higher now its so cool cause I had tried everything else including exercising and my butt would go nowhere this product really helps I know you might be doubtful cause well I was too but now I know it really works and Major Curves is NOT paying me to say this , I am just an honest costumer giving you an honest reply if not I wouldn't let you waste your money on something that doesn't work try it it'll be worth it , it helped me :) &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3

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.

The 4419 is adjustable as described by rebuldela and nance. My 4419 adjusts to a stable flat decline which is entirely structurally reliable for all my needs. It also can be adjusted so that the head end is slightly below or slightly above flat. Not sure what definition questioner is giving to decline, assuming full decline means flat bench. Believe a finer adjustment could even be achieved if owner willing to drill holes in main frame to finely adjust to desired bench angle. As has been stated, seat pad is not adjustable.

yes for me it works very well. i was leaning out and it made my muscles look very hard and toned. i take a break for a month after the bottle is empty but still work out hard. diet, exercise and already having a medium frame helped too. i lowered my BMI before i started the compound 20.

The answer, of course, varies amongst users. It depended at what point is the discomfort (pain) level reduced enough that movements can be undertaken. None of these remedies cures or reverses the deterioration processes, but can slow down or delay the rates, as long as the products are taken. Attention has to be paid as to when the regular dosages begin to lose their relief effects, or when have the deterioration processes overwhelmed the beneficial effects? A good exercise regimen helps the relief effects, for sure.

Yes. It has one more setting that goes beyond flat to the decline position. I use it with a half rack and it works well. The angle is a bit steep for sit ups, depending on your ability.

Yes but it's too awkward to use for that, in my opinion. We bought the Valor Fitness DF-1 for sit ups and decline bench pressing.

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

I can see, by this pic, why you would think that but I never had any issue doing lat pull downs to my chest. Regardless of what machine I'm using, I usually have a slight lean backwards when I do them and my lean might be why I've never noticed an issue with it.
