How is this bench for doing crunches / sit ups?

I am a 220lb male and I do just fine doing crunches and sit-ups on the bench.

When I purchased the bench I weighed 268 lbs and the bench has held up fine. A word of caution though, I don't believe this bench was meant to used for lifting weights. It is fine for use lifting dumbells, doing crunches, etc., but not for barbells. I'm down to 238 lbs and the bench is part of my workout.

Assembled properly, this bench is sturdy and durable. I have two benches is use without any issues.

This bench is very stable. I'm 6' tall and 173 lbs and do tricep dips using this bench.

Yes but it's too awkward to use for that, in my opinion. We bought the Valor Fitness DF-1 for sit ups and decline bench pressing.

There are bars you can hook your ankles under and knees over. You however could put your feet on either of the bars to do the exercises; I think (I'm not sure it's long enough to do crunches on the bench itself. Otherwise the bars can be used any way to steady yourself for arm exercises.

Easily. This is a very good squat rack especially for a compact space. Like an apartment. Its sturdy enough for 100+ pull ups

everything on it was sturdy butt it did not have a curling attachment. This is not the right bench for dumbbell exercises. I also bought a dumbbell exercise bench and it fell apart. This is a good product.

Stability is bad as i said in my review i weight about 290 and press close to 250lbs on this bench and its scary i've bent the bar that supports your back and it also makes loud popping noise its fine if you are doing 225 and under but once u go up in the weight and try to max it becomes unstable. Still a very nice useful machine and the squat rack works for other things!!

This bench is about as solid as they get. I think the manual said it can handle 480lbs; something like that. Decline angle is a little low and the stabilizers near the seat tend to get in the way. This will definitely not wobble though.

It's very sturdy, but free standing so its built for balanced exercise. Your center of gravity needs to be controlled which is the purpose. I do leg work mostly but even do pull ups directly under the bar. Its very versatile, and adjustable for even more uses. Can't go wrong if u know the basics.

The bench does not attach in any way. There is a little wobble in the bench (I am ~180lbs). Regardless, it seems to be sturdy when doing any incline, flat, and decline lifts.

I really like this bench. I am 6'1" and I fit on the bench, it could be just a little bit longer but I feel solid when doing dumbell presses even with heavy weight

In regard to your height and the type of work-out that you indicated, I think this bench would be OK for you. The main problem that I have with my bench is that the safety pin isn't fitting properly but that doesn't mean that you would have the same problem.

I think the bench is a pretty sturdy bench. It's very well made and doesn't feel like most other cheaply made benches in this pice range. I haven't tried attaching it to the rack, not sure if you can do that or how you would do that. I have to say overall I am pretty impressed with this set my only complaint was the assembly, the instructions are a pain and are not very clear at all, it is definitely not a one man job by no means.

Decent review of the Ab Lounge 2 can be found here: http://www.gr00ps.com/en/g/fitness/be/ab-lounger-2-for-ab-workouts

It has a very strong structure, great for bench press, squats, military press, it has two locks for safety. Most important be sure you have in a solid floor surface.
