Adjustable Bench
How to adjust
- Set the backrest angle via the adjustment pin/lever (flat, incline, or decline positions, depending on the model).
- Adjust the seat pad position on some models.
How to use
- Set the backrest to the angle needed for your exercise.
- Sit or lie on the bench with your feet flat on the floor.
- Perform your dumbbell or barbell exercise (press, row, curl) using the bench for support.
- Return the backrest to a safe/flat position when finished if others will use it next.
Safety notes
- Confirm the backrest adjustment pin is fully locked in place before you lie back or load any weight onto it, since an unlocked backrest can collapse under load.
- Keep feet planted on the floor for a stable base.
- Use a spotter or dumbbells you can safely bail out of near failure since there are no safety catches on a bench.
