Roman Chair

I have bought ab chairs in the past and sold them.  Usually because the bench is at an angle and they take up space.  The closest I have come to a legitimate set up is "The Answer" paired with a utility bench which works fine and takes up a small footprint.  

Today, Facebook Marketplace served up something interesting.




Orlando Rudley described this as a Hyper Chair and Ab Machine and went on to say "Super solid adjustable metal frame ab and hyper chair. Great for ab work and turn over and it’s a hyper chair for your back. Also has adjustable dip station as well. Great for sit-ups as well using padded foot rests. Cushion is in great shape and has no tears or scratches. Ideal for 6ft or shorter. I’m six two and it’s just to short for me."

As long as it fits in my SUV it is definitely coming home with me and I look forward to giving it a try.  It should be more stable than my past efforts.  The foot print is a concern.  I am hoping it is about 2 feet wide by 4 feet long.  It does not appear to have many adjustments, but for $75, I can take a chance.  Worst case scenario, I sell it for $50 and take the loss.  Best case, I find a home for it and have a stable spot for future USAWA Roman Chair Lifts.
