Abdomen area and so on[edit]

I have trying to collect some information on this equipment. I am almost certain by now that this exercise equipment is mainly for exercise of the abdomen area. Please comment, if you think I am incorrect. Also, you can edit the article directly. --Click me! write to me 04:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

looks like a how-to copy edit needed[edit]

While i appreciate the effort taken to improve the article, i believe that the section describing the exercise method could be seen as a how-to and as such deleted by purists. I would like to see this section converted to a description (as opposed to a prescription). --Kushal^t 11:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kushal, what are you talking about? If you want to change it, change it yourself. It's not like there's a lot of text to worry about. This article needs content most of all. You need to focus on adding useful information rather than worrying about what someone might want to delete (wtf?). —Keenan Pepper 18:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect picture[edit]

This shows a leg extension on a bench. This is not the Roman chair. --198.54.202.70 (talk) 12:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it called a Roman Chair?[edit]

any body? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.148.87.9 (talk) 15:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I came to this article hoping to find the answer to that too, anybody? Freikorp (talk) 17:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently pretty lost too, I think we should look in old books to find early mentions of this and work towards isolating earliest common mentions of each incarnation. DB (talk) 20:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2010s[edit]

Wall sit[edit]

I noticed this was "merged" and redirected. I think these are fundamentally different articles and disagree with the merge, anyone agree? For now, I've created a section for the exercise (we had a page describing it in 'references' I moved there) but I think eventually once we clarify and detail the historical etymology of 'roman chair', we will be prepared to split this article up properly.

One thing that does seem certain and which I have clarified in the description: a lot of VERY different movements and apparati are being called 'roman chair', so regardless of whatever we eventually decide it should be, much disambiguatory statements will be of value to readers by telling them the proper names for other movements that get confused with it.

2011[edit]

>Many people at this point extend to the point of a hyperextension curving their backs beyond typical straightness

Is it good or bad? References? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.226.26.236 (talk) 16:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

captains chair equals Roman chair, but not captain's chair?[edit]

A search for

'captains chair' redirects to this 'Roman chair' article, but a search for

'captain's chair' redirects to 'Power tower (exercise)'. Perhaps that indicates an error to someone with expertise. Bo99 (talk) 17:06, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
