What Roman chair to buy: different names
Several types of bodybuilding equipment are sold under the name « Roman Chair ». But some have the appearance of benches with which one can target different parts of the upper body such as abs or lumbar. These are minimalist versions of the most famous version of the Roman chairs: the Power Tower .
I’m just going to talk about the Power Tower, which is a complete machine to muscular almost the entire upper body (and even squat legs) from movements to the weight of the body.
Nevertheless there is an interesting model for those who can: the Roman wall chair . It takes the main features: pulls, dips, abs but is fixed to the wall for greater space and better stability. You will find a nice model from Gorilla Sports here .

bench
So much material that I present to you separately as homebuilding essentials assembled in a single machine, which make the Roman chair the cheap weight training station par excellence.
To this is added the main characteristic of the Roman chair: its large cushion on which one can come to flatten his back during abdominal exercises . Lateral reinforcements serve as a support to allow to be the best stalled possible.

The main exercises and muscles solicited
It is possible to work the entire upper body, and if you opt for a model with squat rack you can also strengthen the legs. What more ?
Here is a detail of the main exercises :
Dips at the Roman chaison
Parallel bars leave room for dips .
The dips alone make it possible to work a large part of the bust: they solicit the pectorals, the anterior deltoids, the triceps, the big dorsal, the trapezius, and a little the abdominals.
If this exercise is too difficult for you, you can start with the dips between two banks. Once the exercise is under control you should be able to move to the Roman chair without difficulty, with the weight of your body. Later, you can even hang a weight around the waist or wear a weighted vest to add difficulty to the exercise.
Roman chair pulls
As dips, pull ups are one of the main exercises that allow the Roman chair. Muscling all the top like the dips, the tractions are particularly effective for forging a broad back and big biceps😉
Good to know: According to the Roman chairs, the pull bar can offer different grips to achieve its pulls: tight grip, wide, neutral … To target more specific muscles.
En salle de sport on trouve parfois un support qui vient se placer sous les genoux afin d’atténuer le poids du corps pour ceux qui n’arriveraient pas à se soulever.
Si c’est votre cas mais que vous préférez la musculation à domicile, vous pouvez obtenir un résultat similaire avec un élastique qui viendra vous aider.
Abdos à la chaise romaine
Dernier principal exercice : les abdos. Avec la chaise romaine il s’agit là de travailler ses abdos via des relevés de genoux.
Les relevés de genoux sollicitent particulièrement le grand droit des abdominaux en statique. Mais les relevés de genoux s’attaquent également aux droits antérieurs de la jambe ainsi qu’au psoas iliaque.
It is therefore an exercise that many believe only turned to the abdominal definition while it also solicits the thighs and flexor muscles of the hip.
[ps2id id=’other-exercise’/]
Other exercises and muscles required:
➤ The pecs through the horizontal handles
➤ trapezes thanks to the low handles
➤ Lateral and lateral elevations to strengthen the shoulders
➤ Glutes are also used during the knee

Where to find a cheap Roman chair?
To benefit from the best prices, opt for the purchase on the internet rather than in stores like Go sport, decathlon or intersport. For example the Roman domyos decathlon chair is a good model but it is on sale for 200 €. The Tectake model is more complete since it offers a built-in foldable bench for the bench press, selling price at less than 150 €. And at a price equal to Power Tower PT 300 is in my opinion of much better quality.
This is explained by the fixed costs related to the physical costs of a store that forces them to sell at higher prices.
