 Does what it's supposed to do Aug 23, 2006
By Treebeard Ent
This really does act as a combination Roman Chair-Sit-Up Bench. It will give your abs a good workout and you have control over how much intensity you want to do and still keep good form. It's also half the size of my old incline bench, which I used to "misuse" to make it like a Roman Chair, so it fits in my new apartment easily. Regarding the instructions: the drawing on the cover of the instruction booklet makes you think that the leg holders are attached "inside" the frame, but if you look carefully at the drawing of how to put it together, and even double-check by looking at the photo of the bench on the Internet, it goes on the "outside."

 5 stars for the situp- 4 stars for roman chair Oct 21, 2008
By Fletch80
The only reason I didn't give this bench 5 stars was because it isn't the greatest for use as a roman chair. It works, but because your legs are locked at the knees and you are standing completely straight as opposed to slightly forward, it is not the most comfortable position. If it had two sets of pads instead of one- another one at the bottom, out a little from the base, it would be better IMO. For abs and construction I give it 5 stars. It is gym quality and very strong and easy to put together.

The deltech bench is awesome! It provides the means of performing safe situps with proper support thus preventing injury. Wish I had known about this product years ago! It's worth every penny of the already reasonable price!Deltech Fitness Sit-Up Bench
Heavy Duty, very well designed, perfect angle for your back... Feb 08, 2012
By Frederick Dunn
"The Fellowship Of The Feather"
When it comes to gym equipment, no matter what the targeted activity is, quality counts or you just won't use it.
Where exercise is concerned, I am considered a frequent/heavy user where my training equipment is concerned so I did not want to cut any corners on something so basic and essential to overall fitness as a sit-up bench.
Right out of the box, this bench has components of very heavy duty square tube steel. The shin pads are super dense and perfectly placed for someone of average height.
The decline angle is perfect, the length of the back padded board is of just the right length to provide freedom of movement without lower back stress.
The radius of the padded bench behind the knees does not stress the joints and is padded enough, yet firm, so you get a very solid feel as you train and condition your mid section.
There are less expensive sit-up benches out there, but as I said before, badly designed or poorly constructed gear just won't get used. My wife also loves it and jumps on for a few reps as she passes through the room where it stands ready in the corner. It doesn't take up much floor space, so can be left in the corner of your living room or someone's bedroom where it will encourage frequent use.
The paint finish seems to also be of good quality and as there are no real wear surfaces, I can't see the painted finish deteriorating no matter how much use it receives.
Couldn't have asked for a better design and can't imagine that it will ever wear out with proper care and cleaning.
I would definitely recommend this as a prime piece of gear for abdominal conditioning... far better than doing crunches or situps on the floor. The design angle allows for full extension of the abs, for development throughout the muscle range.
Get one, you will use it. There are no shortcuts to real fitness, this is primary gear for any conditioning program.

By tghardin
I got this for my husband for Christmas per his request. He put it together and it's great! It's very sturdy and even put together fits nicely in a corner of our room. It looks just like the picture and I'm very pleased with my purchase!
