Powerline Roman Chair/Back Hyperextension
$349.00
An adjustable roman chair and back-hyperextension bench that builds a strong, injury-resistant core and posterior chain — abs, lower back, glutes and hamstrings — on a stable, extra-wide frame.
The Powerline PCH24X Roman Chair / Back Hyperextension lets you train your abs, back, glutes and hamstrings in complete comfort and safety. A strong lower back and core protect you in everyday life, and this machine makes building them simple — with an adjustable fit and even a manual inversion mechanism for decompression.

Product Description
Your abs and lower back are crucial to almost every movement you make, so keeping them strong helps you avoid painful injuries. The PCH24X targets them directly — along with the glutes and hamstrings — through back extensions, hyperextensions and sit-ups. It adjusts to fit most users, and a manual inversion mechanism lets you decompress the spine after a session. Built from 2″×2″ heavy-gauge steel with an extra-wide base, it stays planted and stable through every rep, and the electrostatically applied powder-coat finish stands up to long-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a roman chair / back hyperextension train?
It targets your lower back, abs, glutes and hamstrings through back extensions, hyperextensions and sit-ups — the core and posterior-chain muscles that protect you in everyday movement.
What user weight does it support?
Up to 114 kg.
Can it be used for inversion?
Yes — it has a manual inversion mechanism, so you can tilt forward for extensions or invert for gentle spinal decompression.
Is it stable during use?
Yes. It’s built from 2″×2″ heavy-gauge steel with an extra-wide base that eliminates rocking.
Is it suitable for home or commercial use?
It’s light-commercial rated with a 10-year frame warranty — ideal for home gyms, studios and clinics.
Roman chair or 45° hyperextension: which is right for me?
Both train the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. A 45° hyperextension (Powerline PHYP200X, Body-Solid GHYP345B) is easier to learn and gentler on the lower back. A roman chair (Powerline PCH24X, Body-Solid GRCH322B) sets you close to horizontal for a bigger, harder range. The Body-Solid SGH500 glute-ham developer adds glute-ham raises and GHD sit-ups. The Powerline models suit home gyms; the Body-Solid models are built for commercial use. Compare them on our bodyweight stations page.
Where does it ship from and how is it delivered?
It ships free from our Adelaide warehouse (Woodville North, SA 5012) in a single box. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days, with delivery typically 3–8 business days to metropolitan areas and 8–12 business days to regional and rural areas.
