Abstract
Bench press (10) includes adjustable safety/range limiting bars (50) mounted for incremental adjustment over a wide range beneath the weight bar support pins (40, 42) in the uprights (14). The bench (24) is preferably positioned at a predetermined reduced height so that the knees of the athlete are substantially above the plane defined by his/her head, shoulders and back or hips to achieve more stability and to avoid arching and thus straining the lower back.
