Unfortunately I cannot do lat raises because of my condition. Those exercises I have from my old physical therapy routine. I guess I'll have to pick up that book. I've heard about it before, but I always laughed at the idea of needing it granted I'm not really trying to bulk up. Just want to lose weight and get a little stronger.

the bench is adjustable. The back can angle up to about 45 degrees but does not go down. I have used it before for incline bench but not decline. I do have a decent amount of room, but certainly not enough for more machines.
