Apex JD 1.1 Sit Up Board

If you are looking for a budget weight bench that is effective enough to give you a decent dumbbell workout regimen, then look no further. The Apex JD 1.1 Sit Up Board/ Dumbbell Weight Bench has everything you have been searching for in an affordable multifunction weight bench. This is a solid, balanced, sturdy, and safe bench that is just right for decline dumbbell- and abdominal-related exercises. If you want to develop washboard abs without paying for an arm and a leg for an Olympic weightlifting bench, then this is the product for you.

Assembly is a breeze for the Apex Sit Up Board, and it even sports special rails to store your dumbbells with for safekeeping. However, these rails tend to get in your way when you need to move the bench around (they are best utilized after you have decided where to permanently place this otherwise portable bench on). In addition, the rails actually reinforce the overall structure of the two-by-two, heavy-duty steel mainframe.

The Apex Sit Up Board is well-padded and finely upholstered as well. It holds four foam pads and high-density boxed coverings that ensure the safety and comfort of your weightlifting sessions. The standard-issue, baked powder-coated finish is also very resistant to scratching and flaking too. The only real criticism to be had for this Apex-branded Sit Up Board is its lack of height adjustment features; aside from that, it is the best bench of its kind at this price range.  

Money should be no object when it comes to your fitness and health, but that does not necessarily mean that you should purchase expensive and needlessly complex workout equipment when accomplishing a relatively simple task (an ab workout, for example). The Apex JD 1.1 ultimately delivers more bang to your buck compared to other similarly priced benches--nothing more, nothing less.
