not an exact measurement but it looks to be abour 24 inches from the ground to the lowest setting. I have an addidas flat bench i purchased from Amazon and it works fine for bench press.

There is a T handle screw on the pedal housing. Tighten it and it increases the pressure required to turn the pedals. I also put several 10 lb dumbbells on the leg bar away from where you are sitting, to keep the unit from moving across the floor, as you will be seated and it will want to move away from you especially on a tiled or wooden flooring.

Yes, the claim that "bench has only one decline position" is true. This model allows only for the vertical adjustment of the foot padding. The bench, itself, is welded at the top at ~ 45 degrees. There is not way to actually lower the bench itself. Enjoy.

Yes it can adjust up or down. You can also do declined as well as inclined bench press

The top of the bench is 22" on the lowest setting. I am 5'2" tall and only my toes touch the floor.

Hi. Just letting you know that I would suggest a more supportive weight bench. Also if you look at the barbell rack its kinda hard to rest it there cause its close together. Also look at the feet of this weight bench notice they are round abd this makes this weight bench suitable for lighter lifting

I bought it to use at a high counter. I originally had trouble getting it up, but I've never needed to lower it.Sorry not to be of help.

The seat is adjustable to a lower position, but I don't know what the lowest setting is, since I bought it as a gift for someone else. I did ride it comfortably, and I'm only 5,1".

What I do is tilt the dumbbells at about a 45 degree angle so I can set them on my lap. That way the locking mechanism doesn't really dig in in an uncomfortable way. Maybe that'll work for you too?

Start with the lowest and move up from there. You want to use as little "force" as necessary to correct the behavior.

The lowest setting is 17 inches and the highest is about 23 inches. We have it set at 21 inches which comes above our knees and makes it easy to sit and stand while maintaining hip precautions. It is sturdy at this setting.

A little over 20 inches at the lowest setting. At the highest, 56 inches. And the settings are about 2 inches apart. The safety catch bars are long enough that when doing bench presses, I can have the barbell touching the stands, so I don't hit my head when lying down on the bench; once down, I can then roll the barbell forward to the position I will lift from. When I'm done with the last rep, I'm pretty shaky, and so let the bar slam down on the catch bars (after saying a little prayer). I could easily remedy this when a six-foot bar, but space iimits me to a five-soot bar, and I had to take two inches off the ends at that. Hope this helps.

At the lowest setting, I can barely get my heels on the ground when sitting upright. I've given the chair away since, so I don't have it anymore. I specifically remembering that the chair height was an issue though. I'm 5'10". The wife's feet were completely off the ground; she's 5'0". Hope that helps.
