Amazon.com Product Description :
Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Bench allows you to get off the floor to stretch and strengthen your core abdominal and back muscles for improved fitness. This sturdy chair is well constructed and easy to set up with simple instructions. Designed to last for years of use, the Apex bench provides a more comfortable way to work your core muscle groups. With padded handles and adjustable two-foam leg holders, it is possible to perform challenging exercises without a trainer or spotter. Your legs are held in place by the supports, and you are able to hyperextend your abdominals, accessing more muscle groups.
Boasting a super-sturdy heavy-gauge steel-tubing frame, the sleek bench will tuck into the corner of a room when not in use, and high-density deluxe boxed upholstery will hold up over time. Whether you would like to build and maintain six-pack abs or strengthen your core to ease back pain and improve your posture, the Apex Roman/Hyper Extension Bench is a safe and solid way to target your goals.

I bought this bench last week and am very pleased with it! FedEx had it at my front door a couple days after I ordered it and assembling it was pretty easy. It is a very sturdy bench that is also very stable...I have no problems getting on and off it. I have a bad lower back and this exercise was recommended to me by my physical therapist-a strong back won't get injured. I recommend buying this bench :)

To be honest, my expectations weren't very high considering the price, but after I assembled it, it turned out to be a very solid piece. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase. I do have two complaints, but they're minor...
1. The handles could be a little longer. Their short length makes it a little more difficult to prop myself up when I'm trying to dismount.
2. The pad is too big. It won't affect everyone using it, but if you're a male with short legs (like me), you need to be careful not to "mash your man parts".

This is truly an excellent piece of exercise equipment. I bought it because I was suffering from back pain, particularly when getting up in the morning.
A few minutes a day will really solve this problem. I'm glad I bought it, and I also recommended it to friends. It is sturdy, easy to assemble, and the price is good. None of the parts have shown any wear yet, I have owned it for about 6 months, and I am using it several times a days for about 2-3 minutes each time.

I just put this together today and did some ab and back exercises. I assumed that a roman chair was designed for both abdominal and lower back exercises, but nearly all of the descriptions and demonstrations of a hyper extension bench only illustrate lower back exercises. I would like to be sure I am using the correct posture on this piece of equipment. I think the manufacturer should provide some illustrations of the potential exercises this piece of equipment can be used for and an indication of the proper form to do the exercises. There are plenty of demos online of hyper extension workouts for the lower back but I really would like to see some demonstrations of proper abdominal workouts to do on this piece.

I would rate this as high as the roman chairs you use at a high end gym. Maybe a bit more padding on the bench and maybe not the best product for a male.
