<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nThe DF-1<\/a> is considered by many to be the best adjustable ab bench out there and there’s plenty of good reasons for that. The bench is stable and comfortable with the contoured shin supports an especially welcome touch. 11 gauge steel construction ensures this puppy won’t flinch under pressure and the 12 decline positions means there’s not a muscle in your core that’s going to escape serious work.<\/p>\nPROS<\/h4>\n\n- Dual layer contour padding<\/li>\n
- 600 lb total carrying capacity for serious lifters<\/li>\n

Our Choice for Best Value Adjustable Sit Up Bench<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"xmark\"](\"https:\/\/garagegymbuilder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/xmark.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nXMark 12 Position Adjustable Decline Ab Bench<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nSince there are only so many ways you can angle an adjustable decline bench to promote a great ab workout we had to fall back on other things to select our best sit up bench.<\/p>\n
The XMark was just more comfortable for us in every position and a small touch like the assist handle turned dismounting from a somewhat clumsy affair into a smooth, trouble free motion. Throw in the compact profile of the XMark, its ultra solid yet lightweight construction and its easy adjustability and you have our choice for best overall value in a decline\/Ab bench.<\/p>\n
Our runner up bench is the Fitness Reality X-Class Ab\/Hyper Board<\/a> which doubles as a hyper-extension unit, while also providing you with a tapered ab bench and 650 pound weight capacity.
