Abstract
An exercise apparatus with a horizontally adjustable, detachable, and inclinable workout bench that is combinable with an angularly adjustable bench press. The apparatus includes a main frame and a foundation member extending horizontally from the main frame, which supports the bench. The bench is removably coupled to the foundation member by a base for horizontal displacement and detachment of the bench from the main frame. The bench includes a body support that is pivotally connected to the distal end of the base and pivotally connected to the base at a second point through a raising and lowering arm. The seat portion of the bench may be positioned perpendicular to the back portion. A brace is nested in a container located beneath the back portion and a seat support is located beneath the seat portion. When the user desires to position the back portion and the seat portion perpendicular to each other, the seat portion is rotated about a hinge and the brace is positioned partially out of the container so that the top of the brace abuts the side edge of the seat support. Further, the workout bench of the present invention is combined with an angularly adjustable bench press.
