Magnum Adjustable Decline Bench
The Magnum Adjustable Decline Bench offers nine adjustments from 10 to 30 degrees to accommodate a variety of training exercises.

The frame includes molded guards for protection in high-traffic areas and a proprietary two-coat powder finish for long-lasting durability.
DECLINE BENCH PRESS / FLYES
Why?
- Reduces pressure on the shoulder joints
- Reduces pressure on lower back
- Slightly improved emphasis on lower chest muscles
- Can be used with dumbbells, barbells or the Smith Machine
Considerations
- Always warm up before exercising
- Technique is more important than the weight you’re lifting. Make sure you don’t compromise your form. Get a spotter or a member of the fitness team to assist if required.
- You may find it awkward to pick the weights up once on the decline bench, so if please ask for assistance if you need it.
- Exhale as you lift the weights, inhale as you lower them back down.
- Stay in control of the weights throughout.

CRUNCHES / SIT UPS / RUSSIAN TWISTS
Why?
- The decline creates more range to move (range of motion) which means your muscles will work harder (time under tension) to complete each rep.
- Can be modified to include twists, additional weights or even pauses.
- Excellent way to build anterior core muscles.
Considerations
- Always warm up before exercising
- Start at a slight decrease at first. You can adopt a more vertical position the more your mobility improves.
- Keep your chin up slightly as you lift your torso. Think about keeping a tennis ball tucked under your chin, this will keep your neck aligned.
- Focus on your abdominal muscles working and not your hip flexors to lift you. The hip flexors do play a part but don’t rely on them to complete each rep. Aim to keep the glutes flat against the bench.
