9017 Flex Bench – Super-Adjustable Multifunction Bench – Total Versatility and Maneuverability

The FLEX BENCH reflects Sidea’s philosophy: combining quality, performance, and functionality in a minimalist and refined design.

Unlike standard adjustable benches, the FLEX BENCH was designed to offer an above-average range of incline, allowing for maximum versatility in performing numerous exercises that require steep inclines or a slight degree of decline.

Ideal for upper-body pushing exercises, core workouts – with a particular focus on abs – and posterior chain leg work, the FLEX BENCH represents the most versatile solution in the landscape of adjustable, or rather, super-adjustable benches.

It is precisely the presence of an adjustable leg lock bar, which allows the legs to be firmly secured, along with the two footplates integrated into the frame (designed to facilitate getting on and ensuring correct posture even with the bench at a steep incline), that makes this extreme versatility of use possible.

While not offering the absolute stability of a flat bench, with its 59 kg weight, steel supporting structure, and a rapid adjustment system using semi-circular perforated plates with a pop-pin knob, the FLEX BENCH still ensures excellent solidity. This makes it suitable even for weightlifting exercises and particularly useful for flat, incline, and decline bench presses.

The rear backrest support system is innovative, designed to guarantee stability and prevent deformation when the bench is used in the flat position. This component, essential for ensuring compliance with professional standards and resistance to high loads, is retractable and can be easily lowered when you want to set the bench to a decline position.

The large central handle and rubber wheels make the FLEX BENCH extremely easy to move and position precisely, even within racks, ensuring excellent maneuverability. When placed in a Power Cage or an All-in-One Rack, it transforms into a complete station for performing multi-joint exercises such as bench press, shoulder press, seated row, and supported step-ups. Used on its own, it becomes a focal point for workouts with dumbbells, kettlebells, elastic bands, or short barbells, covering the entire range of exercises for the chest, shoulders, back, abs, and even the lower limbs. The ability to set a slight degree of decline, combined with the leg lock system, opens the door to core training exercises like decline crunches, leg raises, and twists.

The upholstery, made of eco-leather with a raised faux-leather effect, guarantees the best compromise between wear resistance, grip, and ease of positioning on the bench.

Regarding dimensions, the FLEX BENCH was designed to offer maximum compactness while maintaining optimal proportions to ensure safety and stability, even during exercises at steep inclines. In the flat position, the height of the cushion from the ground is 43 cm, in line with the standards for Powerlifting flat benches. This measurement allows for a solid foot plant on the ground, promoting an effective drive and optimal stabilization of the body on the backrest. The setup allows for maintaining the natural lumbar curve (lordosis), facilitating lumbar contraction, chest lift, and scapular adduction – fundamental elements for a correct and safe pressing technique.
