A workout bench for exercising including weightlifting and other bench oriented exercises which has a barbell rack at one end, and a laterally extending frame member that supports a two section bench. The two sections of the bench are mounted onto a slider that slides along the length of the laterally extending frame member and can be adjusted and held in any desired position along this length. The bench sections are hinged so that they will both incline, and the position of the hinge is controlled by the slider so that the amount of inclination of the bench back section, which rests against supports on the rack at one end can be changed by sliding the slider to a desired location. The shorter seat bench section can be inclined through the use of a separate support member that will incline the bench at a particular angle and which will move with the slider. The hinge for the bench can be adjusted in position relative to the rack so that barbells supported on the rack can be lifted properly. The bench can be moved from one end of the lateral horizontal frame member to the other for permitting proper location for exercising using auxiliary equipment at the outer end of the frame as well.

A workout bench for use in lifting weights comprising a frame, a rack at one end of said frame having means thereon for supporting a bench support crossbar and barbells for weight lifting onto a crossbar, said frame further including a laterally extending frame member extending laterally outwardly from said rack, and a bench for mounting on said laterally extending frame member and for being supported at least partially on said rack, the improvement comprising: said laterally extending frame member comprising a first tube; said bench comprising two bench sections, each having first and second ends, the first bench section being substantially longer than the second bench section and the second end being of length to rest on a crossbar supported on the rack; a slider member comprising a tube section having a cross section complemental to the cross section of the first tube and slidably mounted over said laterally extending frame member, for movement toward and away from said rack; means for mounting both of said bench sections on said slider member, the first bench section being mounted for independent pivotal movement permitting the second end of said first bench section to be moved upwardly and downwardly relative to the slider member comprising hinge means mounted to the slider member for supporting the first bench section for independent hinging movement; support means positioned between the second bench section and the slider member for supporting said second bench section with respect to the slider member and the laterally extending frame member; and means to adjustably fix said slider member in a selected positions along said laterally extending frame member comprising means defining a threaded opening on the tube section of the slider member and a single hand operable screw threaded in the threaded opening and adapted to be threaded to bear against the laterally extending frame member to clamp the slider member in such selected positions to locate the first end of the first bench sections at desired locations relative to said rack for adjusting the position of the bench relative to the rack and thus to permit adjusting the angle of inclination of the first bench section when the second end thereof is resting on a bench support cross bar on the rack.
