MAGNUM FITNESS SYSTEMS
BOOTH: 710

Magnum's Breaker Benches look like any other Olympic bench with uprights angled back. The difference is they are hinged on pillow block bearings. The lifter gets into a normal lifting position, reaches up and grips the bar. At this point the lifter can break the bar as he always has or he can have the Breaker Bench assist him by slowly pulling the bar forward rather than lifting it off the uprights. The bar will move into its position of power, eliminating the external rotation of the shoulders. Now the user can lift the bar straight up. The uprights fall back into their normal position, out of the lifter's path. After completing the exercise set, the bar is re-racked as usual.
