I have posted about spanking benches more than once over the years. A reader mentioned one in a comment last week. So here I go again.
I built a hiking bench to keep our abs in shape over the winter. What? We raced a small sailboat. All ballast was the two of us. In a fresh breeze, we sat on the rail, hooked our legs under straps and leaned back - up to 90 degrees - to keep the boat flat. After 10-15 minutes in this position, your legs start to burn or even shake. But, gee, it's fun. Spray jetting away from the boat.
This is us in 1981, as published in a sailing magazine.
See those flat stomachs. We did not weigh enough to keep the boat flat.
This is not us, but a more exciting picture.
This is the spanking/kneeling bench, formerly a hiking bench. I removed the straps and Bacall added the cushions. Note the wrist cuffs.
Any pictures you care to share with fellow OBB readers?
