Get to know the Hammer Strength Adjustable Decline Bench

A Smarter Approach to Decline Training
By Laura Cohen May 20, 2025
Effective training takes strategy as well as implementation. Choosing the right equipment makes a difference. When it comes to decline pressing and core work, which are an essential part of strength training regimens, it’s important not to forget that all decline benches are not built the same. Simplicity in form and function makes the experience stronger. That’s why the new Hammer Strength Adjustable Decline Bench is designed to deliver an effortless and effective upgrade to traditional decline presses where athletes can eliminate the need for makeshift adjustments and create greater control over their training.

In a Word... Adjustability. It Matters

Traditional decline benches lock athletes into a fixed angle, limiting training options. To get around this, and we know you’ve all seen this on more than one occasion, some facility users resorted to placing weight plates under non-adjustable benches to increase the decline. We can all admit that this is not a practical solution. With a simple lever adjustment athletes can steepen their decline from -10° to -25°. Our bench optimizes the experience to reach goals. 

Versatility Without Complication

We keep noting that this bench is designed for both upper body and core training because we believe that variety helps keep it all engaging. Whether performing decline presses, sit-ups, or rotational work, the ability to adjust the decline angle offers variety without sacrificing stability, and the simple adjustment mechanism helps keep training seamless and efficient. And don’t forget, the sturdy, Hammer Strength build ensures durability in high-use environments. 

This is a More Effective Decline Bench

By providing this level of flexibility for training, it should be noted that facilities no longer have to worry about those instances we noted earlier where athletes create risky setups to modify their decline angle. This bench gives them exactly what they need—adjustability, stability, and reliability—without unnecessary complexity. It’s a small but meaningful improvement that makes decline training better and safer; something that should be strongly considered in facilities everywhere. 

Strength in Unity

We’re glad you read about the Adjustable Decline Bench today because we don’t just build intuitive, functional training tools, we build effective partnerships with Facilities and Facility Managers like you to help create the elite training spaces athletes seek. For facilities looking to enhance their strength training setup, the Hammer Strength Adjustable Decline Bench is a no-brainer. Simple, effective, and built for serious training.
