REVIEW
The basic movement is simple, as you have to perform ascents and descents by using the U-shaped bar with your arms. Do not forget to put your feet under the footrest to leverage and thus facilitate the ascent. Many exercises are also possible with this bench depending on the abdominal muscles you want to use.
The manual presents some exercises / positions / techniques, which is very useful for beginners. We will just regret that the instructions are not more precise.
Different difficulty levels are available depending on the chosen amplitude. Even with the simplest level of adjustment, you may have some difficulty at first performing the movements, but after a few sessions, these difficulties will dissipate.
Even though the strong point of the Ab Master is range of motion of 200 degrees, it takes a long enough time for a beginner to strengthen their muscles to be able to do a full 200 degree crunch. It is this 200 degree amplitude of the Confidence Ab Master that allows you to target, at the same time, the lower, middle, upper and oblique abdominals with a smooth movement up and down.
Performing exercises with a such a large range of motion is both beneficial because it uses more muscles but can also lead to hyperextension of the lower back muscles. You can really start to feel the results quickly. Our only small criticism concerns the settings / adjustments of the backrest, you have to remove and replace the retaining "pins" to do so, which is not very practical. The backrest as well as the bench are rather comfortable. Sometimes the edge of the bench puts a lot of pressure below your knees, which can cause pain.
We do not recommend this device for people already suffering from pain in the lower back, as well as in the vertebrae (because little support for the neck).
The device In fact exerts pressure on the back which is not suitable for people with back or neck pain.
This device can be folded up, but for this you will need to remove 5 pieces that hold together, it will take you 30 sec.
