Need recommendation for equipment
« on: September 08, 2025, 09:49:06 AM »
Anybody recommend an adjustable situp board that isn't a piece of junk or made for midgets?

Need it for rehabbing.

Have you checked Amazon? Not sure if Walmart would have that. What are you rehabbing may I ask?

Yeah Amazon has literally everything.  Next day delivery and if you don't like it, they take it back no questions asked.

I found very little in the DIY world.

What are you rehabbing if you don't mind?

Could be an excuse to splurge a bit and grab the ironmaster adjustable bench.

 I can't see a sit up board being of any use for rehab. If anything it would just exacerbate the injury.  IMHO

We had a Bodysolid Proline that was great in High School, they still make them but they are godawful expensive $500-750.

We made ones like this one growing up out of wood. Pretty straight forward project, just big -

That is a good old fashioned design.
$800 for it is insane though.

I'm rehabbing an inguinal hernia.
Then I wouldn't do abs at all.

I wouldn´t do any (full) sit ups at all but crunches with your feet flat on the floor , not on a flat bench (90% bent knees) which tends to also activate the lower region of the rectus abdominis more..which is good but not in your case.

IroNat, I have a fully welded ab bench made by YORK.
It’s not adjustable. No tears in the vinyl. It’s a tank.


The angle can be adjusted by elevating one end, or the other.

What’s your address so it can be picked up? It will be returned once the injury is healed.
