Does the bench move up to full military positions for shoulder presses?

Jason, Yes, this bench does move up to do military shoulder presses. Thank you.

The bench moves up to around. 85 degree angle. What do you mean by full? Do you mean 90degree angle?

without using a tape measure it will be plenty high enough for anyone to comfortably perform squats. this bar is not in a position to use for the military press (shoulder press) but can be used for bench (both incline and flat). Should also note: This set up is not for advanced users. If your frequently putting more than 300 lbs. on the bar while using this bench you will start to question the construction. Other than that its a nice multi-use platform for an affordable price.

No. It is more of a reminder to just stand up straight and hold your shoulders back. I would recommend using this while doing resistance training for the back.

no, it does not. You are free to go up and down moving your arms but you cannot lock it in any position

Yes, the arms move back and forth. I have mine set on carpet which makes it difficult to operate but if you set it on a firm floor it's a great buy for it's price. It's not the same as the ones at the gym but it gives you a workout

Everything is fully adjustable. So you can do everything from declined bench to seated shoulder press. You will not be disappointed!

Yes. I combine exercises. I put my weight on the floor an arm's length away. While in the down position, I keep my arms straight and lift the weight above my chest. I then do several presses, after which I do a sit-up while still hiding the weight close to my chest. Alternatively, I do the sit-up first and then press the weight when I am in the top position. Finally, in half sit-up position I shift the weight from side to side (dumbbell or kettle bell). Pure torture. Note that there is no rack on which to rest the weight, as with a bench.

Yes, the machine goes to a full 90 degrees...great for lateral shoulder raises.

It does get the lower, mid, and upper back. You also have the option of doing full back which does all lower, mid, and upper.

They sell a spotting stand for press exercises. Setting on your thighs is not really an option for this type of exercise. Until I become super beast, something in my shoulders may tear pulling them off my thighs to get them into press position. Also for decline bench, it's a feat mounting the bench while holding the dumbbells. Stools on each side of the bench work great for incline, decline, or military presses.

The vertices bars on the back are plate holders. No the rack does not assist with dead lifts. The rack can be used for bench presses if you use a utility bench.

Yes, it does. However it is a bit heavier than I expected, so I can't use it with my shoulder issues. :(

Not at all. When you set up the sled you put it so the back of the sled where you put your shoulder is right at the back edge of the shooting bench. Your elbows are just forward of the that on each side and the weights are way out in front of that.

Eh, yes but with limited motion. You likely could not do wide-arm push ups. This may be difficult to explain but I'll try. In the picture you can see two black bars per dumbell; what you can't see is the third one that is essentially in the very center of each dumbell. The two you can see are padded and meant to hold the device together--the padding is to protect your wrists/arms as they bump into the bars often. The center bar is made to be gripped and is at the center of gravity so that you can lift the dumbells without them twisting in your hand. So, with you hands about three inches down into the dumbells the angle would be difficult for wide-arm push ups and depending on which way your arms flare out during close-arm push ups those could be uncomfortable too.

Yes, back goes full vertical. It being a full-back seat in this vertical position though, does present a unique challenge when performing the seated military press. Whereas you can "cheat" a little and arch your back with your head back when using a seat that only comes up to your mid back, this bench puts your head/face in the normal path of travel for the bar when performing full range of motion barbell military presses. Personally, it is nice because it seems to isolate my shoulders even more, but at the same time keeps me from moving as much weight.

It does not work the chest. It is a pulling motion so it works the back and a little bit of the biceps.

I'm 200 pounds, and there's no movement of any kind. The Diamondback is build solid and heavy with a wide footing. I don't see any way for it to move around during an exercise.
