Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Bench

The Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Chair is a quality piece of equipment at a low cost.  Do as the Romans do! Carve out rock hard abdominals and strengthen your lower back by employing a wide range of exercises on this Roman Chair! Built with 2 x 2″ heavy-duty steel for reliable support while you work out.  Made with comfortable high density deluxe boxed upholstery and a durable powder-coated finish on the steel.  The Apex Roman chair includes 2-year limited manufacturer’s warranty on parts which means it is made to last a long time.  Read a review of the product below.

“I really like this piece of equipment. The instructions for setup were easy to follow and assembly was simple. There were no damaged pieces. It is very sturdy and looks like it will last for years. I get a great workout of my abdominal muscles – I think its easier than doing situps because your legs are held in place by the supports, plus you are working out more muscles by hyperextending the abdominals. I don’t use it as much for extending the back but is similarly easy to use. The first time I used it my torso was sore for a few days, now I am using it almost every day and seeing results in just a few weeks. Its not too big and have room to leave it in a corner of my bedroom so I can use it quickly in the morning or evening.”  Click HERE for more details.

Stamina Ab / Hyper Bench

We love this combo design.  This Ab / Hyper Bench  is easy to use and allows you to perform several different exercises.  Back raises, crunches, curls, leg lifts, and you could even use it as your bench press.  Made with two inch heavy gauge steel, it is built to last.  The padding is both durable and comfortable allowing years of comfortable use.  Comfortable foam rollers hold ankles firmly in place during ab crunches and standing hyper-extension exercises for the lower back. High-density foam pads provide comfort for back, buttocks, and elbows. Non-slip caps on the frame’s ends ensure the bench will not move during exercises.  It can be folded for storage, which makes it convenient to store if you’re short on space.  Click HERE for more details.

“Great Roman chair.  Easy to put together. Almost all bolts are already attached to the parts (loosely) when it arrives, so you dont have to spend a lot of time looking for which bolts to use…
The seat is kinda shaking a little bit if you just press on it with your hand, I did my best but it’s still not possible to tighten it. However, once you hop on it and do your back extension exercise, you won’t feel any shaking at all. I also use it to train my oblique and my abs.
Another good thing about the roman chair is light in weight. You can move it to wherever you want. A very sturdy equipment. Steel is well-cut, no sharp edges at all. It’s really easy to adjust the seat, the leg rest position. Although it costs a little bit more than the other roman chair, it’s well worth it.”

Powertec Fitness P-HC10 45-Degree Dual Hyperextension / Roman Chair

The only hyperextension chair of its kind that provides several variations, the reverse hyper lets you lock in at a 45-degree angle for slanted hyperextensions, or use the adjustable foot roller system and adjustable seat to perform traditional hyperextensions. Even better, the multiple adjustments–which include a variable footplate–accommodates all body types and sizes. The reverse hyper, which also lets you perform Roman chair sit-ups, measures 24 by 30 by 50 inches (W x H x D) and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, two years on component parts (such as bearings and spring pins), and one year on pads, grips, and unspecified parts.  These guarantees only come with a solid piece of equipment.

If you aren’t convinced from reading that, listen to all the satisfied customers such as this one. “As others have commented, this is a SOLID piece of equipment. I wanted something that would hold a big, tall guy, so I’d feel extra secure. You don’t want to be on a shaky chair when you are hanging in the air. . . .”  With every buyer recommending it, we feel that you can’t go wrong with it.  Click HERE for more details.
