Vulcan Prime Adjustable Flat to InclineAdjustable Bench DescriptionThe Vulcan Prime Adjustable bench is not well built. It is overbuilt. This bench can be used in any training environment and will not need to be babied or pampered in your gym. heavy gauge steel plus minimal moving parts equal durability. What makes this bench better? Sorry, no gimmicks here. The most prevailing issue with any incline bench is not seat material, it's not the gap between the pad, it's simply the lack of adjustments in the incline position. Who has done incline presses or military presses and just could not get the right angle to keep the focus of the exercise on the chest and not shoulders? Please raise your hand if you still have the shoulder mobility and functioning rotator cuff to do so. Everyone has felt this and this is one of the main reasons why many will not or cannot do incline presses or military presses. We solved the problem of limited adjustability with the Vulcan Prime Adjustable bench. Featuring 12 position of adjustability for the upper bench pad and 3 positions of the seat pad will let you find your groove. Why is the bench pad tapered? The Vulcan Prime Adjustable Bench also features a tapered pad, that is wider at the bottom than at the top. This helps to stabilize the trunk and hips when benching and helps to prevent twisting/torsion of the spine that can cause injury and further increase strength imbalances. With a more stable trunk, the lifter is able to generate more force thus increasing the amount of weight lifted, strength, and hypertrophy if so desired.What is so special about this grippy material used for the bench PadMost benches utilize a hard somewhat slippery vinyl. The problem with this is...well, it's hard and slippery! And that just might not be the best idea when you are sweating and lifting heavy objects over your face. The Vulcan Prime uses a grippy and breathable textile, that is firm yet will allow you the movement needed to retract the scapula and "lock" into the bench. Once you feel this material on your back you won't want to go back to the typical commercial gym upholstery.

Yes. The Prime uses a heavy ladder and lock system with large contact surfaces and minimal small parts. Fewer wear points mean smoother angle changes and reliable lock-up under load. Will the gap between the back pad and seat pad affect flat benching? No in normal use. The gap is short and stays tight when flat. With proper setupfeet planted, upper back setyou wont feel the gap during pressing. How easy is it to move and store in a home gym? Quick to reposition.

Adjustable bench is awesome. Rock solid. Taper back pad is much better then anticipated. Would recommend and purchase again!

Ordered a Bench, Rubber coated hex weights and a rack for the weights. Shipping was quick and everything looks and feels great. The bench and rack are built extremely well and will probably last forever with home use. Definitely happy with what I got for a very fair price! Thanks! (The rower in the photo was purchased from elsewhere)

Solid bench that isn't back breaking heavy. Covers every adjustable back angle possible with a nice pad. Docked 1 star because the taper is very hit or miss. You either like the taper or hate it. It does provide great shoulder range on dumbbell presses as the pad doesnt block rom. Unfortunately I hate the taper and rather not send it back and pay a restocking fee. Rather have an even width pad so i feel more stable at my hips and my shoulders. Highly recommend overall
