Exercise machine “Inclined bench for the press” or “Roman chair”

This version of the inclined bench is designed for the comprehensive development of the abdominal muscles.

Having established the optimal parameters of the simulator for himself, the athlete can perform the following exercises:

1. sitting lifting the torso;
2. sitting, lifting the body with turns;
3. sitting on the hip (sideways), lifting the torso.

Well, having decided on the functional purpose of the device, let's try to figure it out: is it really possible to make a Roman chair with your own hands at home?

Roman chair photo concept with dimensions:

It consists of a welded base (1), on which a bench (2) and a stand with movable rollers (3) are hinged. Soft bolsters are fixedly attached to one side of the bench.

From the point of view of comfort, the decisive characteristic of this simulator is the distance from the projection of the popliteal rollers on the base to the stand with movable rollers, which should be at least 280 millimeters.
