The Roman chair is a strength machine with which you can perform a number of exercises to work out and develop the lower and middle parts of the body with weights in the form of your own weight. The Roman chair exercise machine is a structure made of steel pipes, reminiscent of a bench with bolsters for the legs. Exercise machines of this type have an adjustable backrest angle and allow athletes of any level of training and height to work on them. The machine can also be used to develop the gluteal muscles and hamstrings.
Types of Roman chair exercise equipment
There are several types of Roman chair exercise equipment. They can be divided into two types:
- horizontal;
- inclined.
There are also hyperextension machines that have a fixed angle design. These simulators differ in the ability to perform hyperextension and crunches. For example, on a simulator that has a horizontal position, you can perform two versions of the exercise for the lumbar and abdominal regions at once. Machines with a downward angle do not allow hyperextension, and a hyperextension machine with an upward angle does not allow the abdominal muscles to be trained.
