Building off the existing Visual Brand Language for BILT, the award winning Decline, Flat and Incline Bench machines were designed to simplify and improve the all important "lift-off". The benches' retractable arms uniquely and safely lower the weighted bar over the user's sweet spot across the chest and retract upon lift-off. The design eliminates the dangerous stress on the shoulders, which is imposed when the user reaches up and back to lift the weighted bar off the traditional starting position.
