SL/PE4 (Arch Up) - will this piece of equipment do the trick?

Hello!

I've now reached SL/PE4 but of course my gym lacks a pommel horse or GHD machine. However, they do have an "inclined" back extension bench (see attached pic). Will this do the trick? It should, or am I missing something?

That will work, though it will be easier to do on that machine due to the legs being so far below hip level.

You can increase the resistance by adding weight plates.

You can slightly decrease (or increase, depending on the point of view ) the angle, by putting some plates under one side of the bench (feet) and lowering moving part.

Really good idea! Tried it out and worked like a charm. Much harder with inc-/decreased angle. Thanks a bunch!

I do these face down hanging off a bench and wrapping my feet around the bottom of the bench. It is very awkward and uncomfortable but my only option because I am always travelling for work. Every hotel gym has a bench.
