WANT GREAT QUALITY FOR YOUR MONEY? BUY THIS!
By lewman
I purchased this Hyper/roman chair made by Powertec because I own Powertec's leverage workbench and it is an OUTSTANDING, SOLID piece of equipment so, I thought that I couldn't go wrong with their Roman Chair- I was correct to think so. The P-HR 45 by Powertec feels extremely SOLID while in use. The previous review complained about the pads being set to far apart- I did not find that to be so. I actually think that Powertec did this so that men could do Hyperextensions on this equipment in comfort and not have to worry about the family jewels being ruined. (Thanks Powertec!) Most Hyper/Roman chairs that I have seen are a bit huge. This chair surprisingly takes up very little space. It is very important that you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when putting this together. It states that you should NOT tighten the bolts when putting this together until all the bolts are in place. I put all bolts into place and then tightened them starting from the bottom of the chair and worked my way up. TRUST me when I tell you that you should take heed to this as it really does make a difference as to how solid this machine will feel to you when you are using it. To me, there is nothing more important than to have your abs and lower back in there absolute best shape. Do yourself a favor and add this EXCELLENT piece of equipment to your home gym.

55 to 90 degree angle
By Jack Offerman
It says that is adjust from 45 to 90 degrees, but it is more like a 55 degree angle I would say. But I knew that when I purchased it, you can clearly tell from the picture that's no 45 degree angle. Since I bought mine I notice there is one by bodycraft now that clearly does adjust all the way from 45 to 90, so if the more straight up angle is important to you you might want that one instead. The two pads were too far apart so I had to reverse them so they are closer together (how wide do they think peoples hips are?), but with them closer together you can't adjust it all the way to the 90 degree angle. And the one pad sticks out about 1/2 and inch further then the other on mine (even before I switched them). Why'd I still give it 4 stars?...well I don't want to automatically discourage people (I usually don't even look at anything with below a 4 star rating), maybe my problems were exclusive to me, and I haven't tried any of the others to know how they compare. Anyhow I'm keeping mine problems and all (not much on returning stuff), seems solid and well constsructed and will do the job. No more important muscle to work than the all important lower back.

By Jaybird
As others have commented, this is a SOLID piece of equipment. I wanted something that would hold a big, tall guy, so I'd feel extra secure. You don't want to be on a shaky chair when you are hanging in the air. Yes, you need to heed the directions when they say put the nuts and bolts in place, get the whole thing together and THEN tighten firmly from the ground up.I have a tip for you all, too. Since here are no words to the pictorial instructions (which are fine), they show you the first picture of the main parts, with the silver adjustment bar looking like you put that on AFTER you get the three main sections together. WRONG.Before you start even loosely bolting those pieces together, you need to slip the silver adjustment bar OVER the main black center piece. I made the mistake of putting them all together, then standing there wondering how in the world the silver piece could fit! lol So, there you go.This baby weighs almost 100 pounds, so it's built to last. I tried it out and it's perfect. I love how versatile it is. I plan on putting some extra padding in the open "guy" area in between the pads so I can do oblique strengthening as well.Great value. Straight forward (mostly!) assembly, so I give it high marks.
