An adjustable bench comprising:
- a bench frame;
- a seat support frame pivotably coupled to the bench frame at a pivot, wherein the pivot is configured for pivotal movement of the seat support frame about a first axis;
- a first arcuate assembly in communication with the bench frame and the seat support frame, the first arcuate assembly including a first arcuate member and a first detent;
- a seat pad mounting bracket slidably positionable along the seat support frame relative to the pivot;
- and
- a back support pivotably coupled to the bench frame at the pivot, wherein the pivot is configured for pivotal movement of the back support about the first axis.

4 more elements
A method of using an adjustable bench assembly comprising a frame, a seat pad, and a back support pad, comprising:
- adjusting a seat support using a slide assembly coupled to the adjustable bench assembly, wherein adjusting the seat support using the slide assembly moves the seat pad linearly relative to the back support pad and the frame;
- independent of adjusting the seat support using the slide assembly, adjusting the seat support using a seat pivot adjuster coupled to the adjustable bench assembly and the seat support, wherein adjusting the seat support using the seat pivot adjuster moves the seat pad pivotably relative to the back support pad and about a pivotal axis defined by the seat pivot adjuster;
- and
- independent of adjusting the seat support using the slide assembly and independent of adjusting the seat support using the seat pivot adjuster, adjusting a back support using a back pivot adjuster coupled to the adjustable bench assembly and the back support, wherein adjusting the back support using the back pivot adjuster moves the back support pad pivotably relative to the seat pad and about the pivotal axis.
