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.

I'm very impressed with the stability of the bench. Good color scheme. I got this one because of the 12 incline positions. I've done incline barbell press, dumbbell and shoulder work on it and it's very stable. The pad is definitely on the firmer side. Great for those heavier lifts. Highly recommend this bench. It's a beast for sure.

Almost a year ago, I bought a Vulcan adjustable bench. I have used it primarily when using dumbbells. It is solid, well-built, and easily adjustable. It was not hard to put together. I appreciated the wheels on the back beam which makes is easy to move. The padding has not squished down or flattened out. It is easily cleaned. This is the only Vulcan product I have ever purchased. I took a chance and was pleased with the product

The bench was pricey, and had there been another option available during the early stages of the pandemic, I would have bought it. However, the bench is very well constructed! And comfortable. I would have been very disappointed if I had purchased another bench and it would not have been as sturdy. The adjustable backing and seat are also easy to lock in and out of place, and they use great upholstery fabric. My only complaint is when it was delivered, you could the box was mishandled. The rubber coating on the handle below the seat was poking out of the box and scraped and worn, as if it had been dragged against the concrete in transit. There was also a slight scratch in the fabric backing, purely cosmetic, though. I'd buy again!

The PRIME bench is a TANK! Assembly was a breeze, less than 10 minutes. Waited for Pre-Order to arrive ( ETA was met) shipping was fast and I couldn’t be happier with my new incline from Vulcan. Lifetime customer now.

I purchased this item because they had it "In Stock", according to the website but when I purchased it I had to wait a month to receive it. I'm sure due to the COVID it was delayed. When it arrived I was pleased with packaging, building it (very easy) and the use is very strong and will last a long time.
