This review is from: Apex JD-1.2 Slant Board (Sports)
Low price in comparison to it's competitors, easy to assemble (six steps basically), sturdy and can be used for a wide variety of exercises other than situps. i.e. Bicep curls using the knee pads and free weights, lat pulls (with free weights), triceps kickbacks (with free weights) , leg raises and inclined bench press to name a few.
Sturdy enough to support my 6'4" 230lbs frame - with only one minor setback... the foam leg supports just aren't wide enough... a pretty minor complaint given the cost of this unit.

This review is from: Apex JD-1.2 Slant Board (Sports)
I'm a 125lb, 5' 5" woman and this bench serves my size very well. It's sturdy with just an oh-so slight amount of movement during use, especially if you are twisting your torso while doing sit-ups. But overall, very sturdy. Also I am using this on a carpeted surface which adds to that slight bit of movement during use.
It took 5 minutes to put together. All you need is a ratchet or a crescent wrench to tighten 5 bolts. The top rod with the 2 pads that you put your knees around is a sliding rod - it is not fixed. Just slip the rod through the hole and put the pads on both ends. If you have hulking knees/legs, I do think that this bench will *not* fit you. The rod is not made for huge legs to wrap around it. And you wouldn't be comfortable anyway.
The bottom rod has a bracket and bolt attached to it. You adjust the bench to the preferred incline and insert the rod with the welded bolt attached to it and tighten it with the triangular nut made to tighten by hand...Read more

This review is from: Apex JD-1.2 Slant Board (Sports)
I searched all over for an abdominal slant board that is affordable, but yet durable and high enough quality to comfotably do the same slant board ab workouts I do at the gym. I am happy to say that I have found it in the Apex JD-1.1. I am 6' Ft tall 265 Lbs. and my wife is 5'6" and 135 Lbs. She and I are able to switch off between alternate sets without having to readust the leg height positions, which is a plus. This board was simple to put together and made a great addition to my olypic weights home gym. If you are looking to firm up those abs at home with a quality slant at an affordable price, look no further. The Apex JD-1.1 is it...
