Can I use this bench with my rack for flat decline incline bench presses?

I don't believe it declines. There is no bar holder so it's not a typical bench press. Works best for dumbbell

I am using mine right now on my smith machine. I don't see a difference. Might have to slide the bench to the perfect location each incline. At least changing incline will be all of 2 seconds.

Yes to both. The incline will have more angles available, with only one decline setting. The adjustable bar that controls the angle of the back cushion will not sit in the slot as it's made to do, but there will still be support on either side. I'll add a couple of pictures for you under the product images.

No, the rack is not talk enough. If u would raise the rack on something it would work.

It would be difficult to do squats off the back of this bench. The uprights lean towards the back. I wouldn't suggest it.

There is no rack for free weights. I use it for dumbbell bench press all the time, but if you want to use bar weights, you will either need to find a standalone rack or find a bench with one attached.

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 you can, all you need is a bench that will incline. I use mine for this all the time.

Placing a bench under the Squat Rack, yes you could. I would use caution as far as the sturdiness of the bench!

Buy a power rack and a separate bench. Yes, it'll cost you more but at least you'll be able to reach the rack pins when you're flat benching and you get to adjust the squat position. My wife was unable to unrack the bar for squats and I had to squat half the way down. The safeties are also completely useless. I actually just threw this whole setup on the dump

Yes. I use it for personal training, therefore I use it as a swat rack and bench press.

It is possible but you would be sitting on the floor doing inclines! Personally I would look for a bench that one could raise...say three quarters of the bench and still have it all above the floor.

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.

The measurements on my bench differ slightly from the manufacturer's specs: http://www.ironmaster.com/super-bench.html#.Uu-_irSE7kc My bench is closer to 21" high rather than the stated 20". This makes it an issue for anyone less than six feet tall. You need something to support your feet to perform any flat bench exercises. I can understand that the designers chose these dimensions to accommodate the curved arm that allows incline adjustments. The large footprint also allows for the various attachments. Fortunately most of my exercises involve incline work where my feet are comfortably on the ground. My bench is 43.5" long, 10.25" wide and 2.5" thick.

Let me give a more complete answer: Yes you can, but the rack has no springs to help you handle the weight, so you rely on the leverage you have and your own strength, and that's it.

Technically, yes. However, the rack is fairly thin, so it would be a question of how much weight you would put on it.

It is. However, angle is a little steep for incline press with a bar. It doesn't feel quite right. I'd recommend doing incline press with barbell. Decline is ok for bar use.

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.

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.
