BODYTEC ADJUSTABLE AB/DECLINE CRUNCH BENCH (LEG-LOCK) / ABDOMINAL BENCH

Heavy-duty, low-profile ab/decline bench with a leg-lock and multi-angle seat that excels at core training and doubles as a flat dumbbell bench for upper-body accessory work

• Low-profile flat main pad with a raised wedge/seat up front. The wedge prevents sliding on decline work and supports the pelvis/lower-back during crunches.
• Leg-lock rollers (oversized, high-density foam) anchor the ankles/shins for sit-ups and twists.
• Ladder-style angle system (multi-slot arc with a locking hook) lets you set multiple decline/seat angles quickly and safely.
• Wide, thick upholstery with double stitching and rubberized feet for floor grip.
• Chrome grab pegs by the rollers help you mount/dismount and brace during advanced core moves.

How it can be used (exercise styles)

1. Decline core work — set the seat angle on the ladder, hook ankles under the rollers, and perform body-weight or weighted variations (plate/dumbbell/medicine ball).
2. Oblique & rotation work — same setup; add controlled torso rotation or side-to-side reaches.
3. Isometric & tempo work — holds at mid-range, slow eccentrics, or pulse reps.
4. Flat-bench dumbbell work — the long pad doubles as a utility bench for flat dumbbell press, flyes, pullovers, skull-crushers, etc. (with dumbbells only; no bar rack).

How many exercises can be done on it

At least 18 primary movements (body-weight or with dumbbells/plate):

1. Decline sit-up
2. Decline crunch
3. Weighted decline crunch
4. Oblique crunch (right)
5. Oblique crunch (left)
6. Russian twist (seated, feet locked)
7. Reach-and-twist crunch
8. Reverse crunch with feet under rollers
9. Hollow-hold/isometric brace
10. Tempo negative sit-ups
11. Sit-up to press (plate/dumbbell)
12. Straight-arm plate pullover crunch
13. Flat dumbbell bench press
14. Squeeze press (DB)
15. Dumbbell flye
16. Dumbbell pullover
17. Lying triceps extension (skull-crusher, DB)
18. Hip-thrust isometric from bench edge (glute bridge shoulders on pad)

Muscle groups targeted

• Primary (core work):
• Rectus abdominis (upper & lower fibers)
• External & internal obliques (rotation/anti-rotation)
• Transversus abdominis (bracing)
• Hip flexors (iliopsoas, rectus femoris) — as synergists in sit-ups
• Secondary/stabilizers:
• Spinal erectors (lumbar stability), serratus anterior, diaphragm/pelvic floor (bracing mechanics)

When used as a flat utility bench (dumbbells)

• Pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps brachii (pressing)
• Lats and serratus (pullovers)
• Triceps (lying extensions)
