Can you adjust this bench to be flat, i.e, parallel with the floor, for leg lifts or kneeling and doing arm pull-ups with weights?

Yes. It goes from a slight decline to an almost upright seat with several angles in between, including flat/parallel to the floor.

You can change the angle to make it easier or harder. If you put it on its lowest setting, it is very easy on the knees. You don't use the knees in all the exercises either. Many different exercises to work with different parts of the body.

Theoretically you could, as their are hamstring pads where you could latch onto and set the bench at a decline. Now, is that the bench's actual purpose? No, but you make use of what you have.

For the bench, you can use and size bar, it doesn't matter. For the leg weights, you can also use either size plates. The leg attachment holder comes with an adapter that fits over the bar and allows accommodation of 2" plates. I would point out that the leg attachment is really quite mediocre, and I am not satisfied with that part of the bench. The attachment for arms curls works quite well, and having the back part of the bench to use for a squat rack is one of the main strengths for this bench.

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.

Leg rests can go level with seat and maybe slightly higher (10-15% angle higher). Regards,

I purchased this unit for a friend a while back. I'm not sure, I don't think so. horizontal pullupz doesnt seem possible. The dimensions are in the details.. I have bad feet so I can't stand long, wish I could do let me ups :( ..

Not sure what you're asking. Yes, you can do incline pullups with this unit. But your hands will have to be in the neutral position. You cannot have them in either the supinator or pronator position, if that is clear to you. (If you clap your hands, you are holding them in neutral, rather than supinator or pronator position.)

The Equalizer will not work as a pull up bar. You can certainly position your body horizontally and pull up while your feet are touching the floor. However, a typical pull up is done at a different angle and the Equalizer does not allow for this angle.

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.

You can actually use the smith bar as a leg press if you lay on the bench. Probably not the safest way to use it but that's the way I use it! :)

Yes you can adjust the level, the legs are adjustable. I use my chair when washing dishes or preparing my meals in my kitchen,

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

yes this bench can be put in a 90 degree angle though it is a little awkward to put it up to 90 degrees due to the bench cushions hitting each other. My main complaint about the bench is i wish there was an option to have a little bit less on the incline as well

It does not have any support for behind the knees which makes it difficult for sit-ups. It is a good solid adjustable bench for lifting.

You might try using an angle iron, something with a 90* bend. The arm is solid and you'll like it if you can secure to the floor.

yes, you can adjust the legs, you can adjust pretty much everything. Regards
