ABSTRACT:
An exercise bench comprising a frame, a platform disposed on the frame, a pair of weight supports connected to the frame at one end and optionally, a removable or fixed leg exercise device. The weight supports are angled at an obtuse angle facing the foot of the frame so that the weight supports do not interfere with a user's arms or barbells during bench pressing exercise. The platform under a user's torso is formed of a solid base and a padding, with the solid base and optionally the padding having a contoured shape cutout under the user's shoulder blades to permit articulation of the shoulder blades or movement of the shoulders below the plane of the platform. The frame also comprises a head section and a foot section, with the foot section being vertically moveable from a position coplanar with the head section to a position thereabove to permit a user to raise the foot section to a comfortable height so that when performing leg exercises using the leg exercise device, the user's feet do not touch the ground. The weight supports have hook members at the top thereof adapted to receive a dip handles for dip exercises.
