Thread: Looking for a 45* Back/Hyper extension bench

Ideally, it will have:

1) a continuous foot plate - many models have 2 small set foot plates which don't allow different feet positions. e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperextensio...486307&sr=8-12

And many cheap models don't seem to have any actual foot plate at all. E.g. https://www.titan.fitness/strength/s...v2/400919.html

2) a pad that looks behind your calves - many of the cheaper models don't have this. e.g. https://www.titan.fitness/strength/s...v2/400572.html - this model would be great if it had that pad

Elitefts has a couple that tick all the boxes, but they're all on the expensive side. Would love to find something $300 or less range.

You won't get (1) and (2) on a new unit unless you want to spend decent money. I'd recommend keeping an eye out for a used commercial unit.

This one doesn't have locking pads behind the legs but is a decent unit. I had it and never had any issues using it with up to 135 lbs in front of me.
