Horizontal Adjustable Roman Chair

What is it?
The Horizontal Adjustable Roman Chair is a bodyweight training station designed to strengthen the muscles of the posterior chain through controlled back extension movements. It can also be used for a variety of core exercises, making it a versatile piece of equipment for improving lower back strength, posture, and core stability.

Primary Muscles Worked

  • Lower Back (Erector Spinae)

  • Glutes

  • Hamstrings

  • Core

How to Use
Adjust the footplate and thigh pad so your hips are positioned just beyond the edge of the pad, allowing your upper body to move freely. Secure your feet under the foot rollers and cross your arms over your chest or place your hands behind your head. Lower your upper body towards the floor by hinging at your hips, then contract your glutes and lower back to raise yourself back to the starting position.

Coaching Tips

  • Keep your spine neutral throughout the movement.

  • Hinge from your hips rather than rounding your back.

  • Raise your body only until it forms a straight line with your legs.

  • Move slowly and under control to maximise muscle engagement.
