The product video does not show the decline bench press. Can it be used to do decline dumbbell presses? Can sit-ups be done in decline position?

Don't get me wrong, this is a good bench. I am very pleased and the price is very fair for the quality. I would recommend a purchase.

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 the bench does not decline very far. Only the back rest declines, not the pad where you would sit. Its a little uncomfortable. Also there is a big gap between where you sit and the back support. The bench is also a little bit to high.

No it can't do decline bench or sit ups. It also won't go up any more than the photo which is strange as they just needed to add one more hole.

It'll do about a 30 degree decline. If that's enough of a decline for you, there no reason you couldn't do dumbell press and situps with it.

I tried it a while back, it didn't work for me. Lower ab fat stays on for me, and I don't mind all that much because I found Organic Goat Weed works for me. Resistance sit ups with 100lbs on my chest for 5 sets of 5 reps with 30-120 sec rest is working right now (I feel comfortable doing 8), and I will increase the weight when I can do 10 to 15.

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

Yes, it'll decline where the bar is. The bench isn't very sturdy if you're a big person. The rack was fine. I had no issues loading up my weights.

Yes the bench declines. You could remove the leg part and still use the preacher curl.

If you are short you probably don't want to use this as a bench. It is specifically designed to be a squat rack with the plated racks having multiple settings upwards, not downwards. I'm not a short guy so using the rack also as a bench is fine. It is however, the squat rack if you are looking to do squats. The racks adjust upwards and the resting bars do too. Just to give you an idea, the last pin for the rest bars is directly behind the support where the rack bars meet the support bars. This is a squatting rack.

Honestly I didn't like the commercial bench I found on Amazon. I went to eBay and found a used flat/incline bench by cybex. Pretty stout bench. Then I found a nice used decline bench by precor on a fitness website that sells equipment from gyms that discard old equipment. Also in nice condition. Both worth great for what I need. This squat rack is ok and works. But if I had to do it all over again I would look for a small used one from a gym that is selling off its professional equipment. My two cents

Yes the bench does adjust up and down to accommodate incline and a slight decline. As far as the hamstring exercises go I really only use the Leg Developer for leg extensions and leg curls.

No. Bench can be layed flat, or put in decline position. I believe Amazon has a video with the pictures showing how it works. I hope this helps.

There ab exercises that you can do with them. It all depends on which ones you want to do. One exercise I've used them for is 60 second decline planks (that's a killer)! Plus they come with a workout that you could work into your own routine. The balls have a good grip and are durable. Hope this helps.

Yeah, the leg part is detachable, but honestly I use mine a lot. I am roughly 6 foot tall, and any time I am doing sit up, crunches or any decline exercise I rely on the leg braces. I can't imagine trying to do decline bench press without something locking my legs in rock solid.

You could ,BUT it may require another person to hold it inverted. You might be able to do inverted pull-ups using the handles and this may require someone to hold in inverted position. Very little shifting of weight from the pivot point will move this in either direction. I've seen pictures of people doing at least partial sit ups with no problem.

It all depends on what your doing. The lower the center of gravity the higher the weight you can use. It's gets a little tipsy with sitting shoulder press but everything else seems fine. If you read the reviews i think someone claimed to put 400 or 600 lbs for a bench press. I don't see why it would be a problem unless the bar starts bowing.

I am not sure what a reverse crunch is. You can Google exercises that can be done with this bench but keep in mind that the length of the bench is much less than a gym sized ab bench so you are somewhat limited in what you can use it for.

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.

This bench is versatile and study enough to be used with a barbell, but it does not have barbell supports. It has multiple positions capability starting from decline all the up to a vertical position for shoulder (deltoid) work. Hope this helps.
