ABSTRACT:
An articulated bench comprising a two-section pad and two folding/pivoting support leg assemblies attached to a frame. A length-adjustable (telescoping) dual tubular brace assembly folds out of the frame from beneath the pivoting padded section (i.e. the section for supporting the upper body) and is inserted into one of a series of catches located on the section's rear surface to hold it at a selectable incline. Improved pivoting support leg assemblies include primary foot cross-bars, and secondary foot crossbars each fixedly attached to a leg to either provide lateral floor-support when the support legs are locked in the inwardly stowed position, or alternatively serve as a hand holds or foot rests when the legs are deployed for performing exercises, thereby allowing a broader range of positions and much greater utility. Since either support leg assembly can be folded inward and locked such that the end of the frame may be inclined downward and supported on the secondary foot crossbar, the number of angular positions for the padded sections is effectively tripled.
