ABSTRACT:
A workout bench for exercising including weightlifting and other bench oriented exercises which has a barbell rack at one end, and a laterally extending frame member that supports a two section bench. The two sections of the bench are mounted onto a slider that slides along the length of the laterally extending frame member and can be adjusted and held in any desired position along this length. The bench sections are hinged so that they will both incline, and the position of the hinge is controlled by the slider so that the amount of inclination of the bench back section, which rests against supports on the rack at one end can be changed by sliding the slider to a desired location. The shorter seat bench section can be inclined through the use of a separate support member that will incline the bench at a particular angle and which will move with the slider. The hinge for the bench can be adjusted in position relative to the rack so that barbells supported on the rack can be lifted properly. The bench can be moved from one end of the lateral horizontal frame member to the other for permitting proper location for exercising using auxiliary equipment at the outer end of the frame as well.
