Roman Chair Squat

[Al Myers]

I just did an “internet search” on roman chairs that are commercially available, and I’m disappointed in what I saw. There are very few true roman chair’s on the market – as most are hyperextension benches named as roman chairs.

I didn’t see ANY Roman Chairs on the market that are as nice as my homemade one!!!

Al…did you notice that if you google “images” of Roman chairs…yours comes up!!!! Yours is hands down the best I’ve ever seen.

Thom, that was a great article!! I tried to make a homemade Roman Chair Squat set-up at home…once. As my training partner could tell you, the results were….negative. I need to build a Roman Chair like Al’s(also a must read). I worked at a gym that had a Body Masters Sissy Squat stand. WOW, those work the Quads. I see why guys shied away from them. Was shocked that these were NOT a Tom Platz staple, though his version of a Hack Machine Squat was probably in the neighborhood.
