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.

I've been using their flat bench and decided to branch out into their incline bench. Product is heavy, but easy to move with the supplied wheels. Bench came in four pieces. Seat pad, back pad, body, and the wide foot support. A few bolts here and there and it was done in no time. I'm 6' 3" 220lbs and feel comfortable on this bench both in flat and incline positions. The ladder system is easy to adjust but rigid. You won't find a better bench in this price range, and probably not evn for a hundred bucks more. Buy this bench before Vulcab makes the smart choice to increase its cost. Worth every copper piece.

I ordered two racks and a bench from you guys. I just got the gear in and set up and I am very pleased. The equipment is rock solid, the finish looks awesome, and EVERY single part was included.

Absolutely beautiful bench and SOLID (after tightening up the hinge bolt slightly, which eliminated any wobble to the pads themselves). Pads are grippy (appear to use same vinyl as the Rep FB-5000 that I also recently purchased and which was very poorly packaged as compared to the Vulcan bench). Vulcan pad is much more taught than the Rep bench. The foam of the Vulcan pads is firm yet not uncomfortable (unlike my Body Solid SFID325, which is as hard as a rock). Top pad and handle were damaged during transport, and Vulcan's customer service is already sending out replacements for both. Absolute top shelf customer service. Will buy again.

All the gear I recently bought from Vulcan is outstanding. Everything arrived quicky (I’m in VA and this stuff arrived on a pallet 2 days after I placed the order!). All the pieces to the flat foot rack were easy to figure out for assembly and all parts fit perfectly. The assembled rack is exceptionally solid and stable. I also puchased the adjustable bench and, like the rack, it’s tremendously solid and well designed. For weights, I purchased the color training bumpers and the 28.5 mm Olympic Barbell. I love these plates, plus they showed up ready to go - not greasy like other bumpers I’ve puchased, and no offensive smell for my indoor gym. Like everything else, the bar is superb with knurl that is just right. Highly recommended.

Very good quality, easy to assymble, and great price! Bar, Bumpers, and Bench are excellent...! Rack was a breeze to get up with a second person. It was great all the bolts and nuts required the same size socket or wrench.

There are no assembly instructions just a parts list and diagram included in the box. In the flat position it is at a slight decline to the ground. In the top position the back cushion presses on the seat cushion. Its heavy and well built but these are pretty obvious misses they should catch before sending. I'm hoping it holds up to wear and tear well.
