Cap Strength Roman Chair – Adjustable Back Extension Bench for Core & Glute Workouts, Heavy-Duty 300 LB Capacity - Black and Gray Options

The Cap Strength Roman Chair is a popular piece of home gym equipment for those looking to strengthen their core, lower back, glutes, and hamstrings without breaking the bank. Offering functionality for hyperextensions, sit-ups, and potentially other exercises, it aims to provide a solid platform for essential bodyweight movements. But does it deliver on its promise of strength and stability? Assembly and Build Quality: Relatively straightforward to assemble, with clear instructions and all necessary hardware typically included. Expect to spend around 30 minutes to an hour putting it together. A decent level of sturdiness for its intended exercises. The powder-coated finish offers some protection against scratches and rust. For the average home user the build is adequate. Stability and Performance: It provides a stable base for controlled movements. The padded surfaces for the hips and ankles are generally comfortable enough for typical workout durations. The hip pads are wide and supportive, while the ankle rollers provide adequate cushioning. Adjustability is a strong point, with multiple height settings for the hip pads to accommodate users of different statures, allowing for proper form and effective targeting of muscle groups. Overall: The Cap Strength Roman Chair is a solid choice for home gym enthusiasts seeking a budget-friendly way to perform essential core and posterior chain exercises. It offers decent stability, good adjustability for the price, and is generally effective for its intended purposes. While it may not have the robust feel or premium features of high-end commercial equipment, it provides excellent value and a reliable platform for achieving a stronger core, healthier lower back, and well-developed glutes and hamstrings in the comfort of your own home. If your budget is a primary concern and your needs align with its capabilities, the Cap Strength Roman Chair is definitely worth considering.

Great affordable ghd. Its a great starter/home ghd machine. You can do sit-ups, back extensions, hamstring curls, and dips fine on the ghd. However, it isn't the sturdiest. I don't believe it will collapse, but it is a little shaky when doing exercises like sit-ups. Also, if you bolt down all four feet, you wont be able to adjust the length of the machine. This is fine if the ghd is only for a single user, but could be a deal breaker if sharing with a partner. Also, since the machine is fairly light, if you don't bolt it down it will slide around a bit. In order to fix this, I bought some non-slip adhesive furniture pads and attached them to the legs. The ghd no longer slides around when I use it, and it isn't a problem to adjust the length.

I have been dreaming of owning one of these for many years but didn't have the space and finally do so I have one. First let me say this thing is built like a tank, yes it moves a little after assembled that seems to be an intentional part of the design but it feels like it could hold a horse. They provide you everything you need tools included but I would suggest using a ratchet and socket then use one the hollow pipes they provide to slide over the Allen Wrench (to save your hands and give you more purchase on the bolt head), be careful not to over torque it though. The only thing I would really change about this would be thicker padding on the plates your hips rest on (while the padding for your legs is more than ample), it's adequate but I'm one of those people who always thinks the more padding the better and I'm usually right more padding is more comfortable, doubling the padding thickness would be most appreciated if anyone at the company reads these things. You can always just put a nice pillow on top for extra comfort. I mean it's only your Yoo-Hoo or Ho-Ho that you're putting all of your weight and force onto as you do every rep until failure, so ya... I think more padding would've been considerate. Other than that wow! I love this piece of equipment. I even discovered that I can do Reverse Hyperextensions by simply removing the padded bars. Pull the pin out and slide off the padded bar assembly then carefully put your hips on the padded plates while holding the handles lean forward then raise and lower your legs and voilá you're doing a reverse hyperextension or the French Mistake I'm not sure. This piece of equipment is a real game changer for people with bad backs and injuries. Don't forget to develop your TVA Transverse Abdominus, that will see you into old age with a better outcome even if your just doing stomach vacuums three to seven days a week, but there are other exercises that help develop your TVA too, research and learn about them if you haven't already, worth it. I would highly recommend this machine if you have the space to keep it and use it as often as your body tells you it's okay to.

I was a bit worried about the sliding center being too weak or wobbly but it is quite sturdy. There is the slightest wobble which tends to cause the whole unit to creep across the floor but that is no problem. There ARE holes provided so you could screw it down into the floor, if you wanted. WHAT I LIKE is that I can make the unit fit me instead of me fitting the machine. On some machines, the round pads will be halfway up your shins or halfway up your calves. With this unite, I can place those pads wherever is most comfortable for me - usually around the Achilles tendon area of the ankles. It's nice to be able to do the exercises while relaxed and comfortable. The base is wide enough that you won't have to worry about tipping it over, either. But, again, there are holes in the floor bars that you could screw it down into the floor which would REALLY give you a tip-free machine.

Excelente artículo ,muy buena calidad de los materiales, múltiples opciones para el ejercicio tanto de abdominales como de oblicuos y espalda baja

I didn’t expect much for the price but expectations are so exceeded. It isn’t as comfortable as a commercial size GHD but it also isn’t a thousand bucks. Easily assembled, and at 175cm and 90kg I’ve had no stability problems at all doing full range of motion on situps and hyperextensions. Would buy again.

Très bien

Cette chaise romaine est tout simplement exceptionnelle ! Les matériaux utilisés sont de très haute qualité, ce qui lui confère une robustesse et une stabilité remarquables. Elle est clairement conçue pour un usage professionnel, semblable à celles que l'on trouve dans les meilleures salles de gym. Depuis que je l'utilise, j'ai remarqué une amélioration significative de ma posture et, surtout, je n'ai plus mal au bas du dos. Les exercices que je fais avec cette chaise sont vraiment efficaces pour renforcer mes muscles abdominaux et lombaires, et je me sens beaucoup plus fort et en forme. Le design est ergonomique et très confortable, ce qui rend chaque séance d'entraînement agréable. De plus, le montage a été facile et rapide. Je recommande vivement cette chaise romaine à tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leur condition physique tout en investissant dans un équipement de qualité. C'est un excellent ajout à ma routine d'entraînement
