Another awesome review!

Thank you for the reviews. When I started lifting I bought a second hand Bowflex 5.1 which was a great value but definitely has some limitations. I want to spend the money now and get a high quality bench that will last me a long time. I watched your Rogue reviews as well as this one and they are very detailed and well thought out. I really appreciate it since I cannot afford to be buying multiple benches to test them out if I want to stay living in my house.

Love your channel

Dude doing seal rows with an open trap bar is such a great idea - I was trying to think of DIY ways to to a seal row at home, can’t believe it didn’t think of that! Great video

You have quite a collection of benches! Very thorough review, dude. Looks like the the new 5200 is a solid upgrade but not enough for me to ditch the OG. The larger front foot rubber piece is nice because the 2 little ones on the 1.0 aren't quite enough grip on my flooring.

Outstanding review! As of today, this bench is winning my vote. Still have to consider some of the other options though. Rep seems to be the stand out adjustable bench company these days. I will sure use your link, if I choose to buy this one. Thanks.

Appreciate the review and comparisons. The feedback on our end has been extremely positive. We've been taking our time with the new releases and ensuring they meet the REP standard we've set.

I can’t recommend it highly enough, especially for the price. PS: I noticed the same about the missing washers in some areas. Bought mine in blue which looks great, but would have loved to get it in the clear grind finish if it was currently available.

Hey I'm looking for help in deciding on a FID adjustable bench which stores vertically and is easy to move around. I've watched ur reviews on Manta Ray and Rep Blackwing. They both got the purpose as I'm def going to use the decline feature with foot catcher , but I'm super concerned my wife won't be able to lift up the Blackwing as its front loaded. Winnie showed she found the Manta Ray easier to lift . Is that truly the case or not so much ?

@GlucksGym

9 ай бұрын

Yep Wynie likes the Manta Ray more because it's weighted towards the back more so it's easier to lift. The BlackWing has the Zero gap mechanism up front which really make it feel much heavier when lifting and moving it. Neither are particularly light benches.

@pottsy1907

Firstly, love the channel and all u guys put out. Super appreciate it.. secondly thank you replying . In ur opinion is there a FID bench I'm missing in not considering . The get GETrxd seems poor quality with packing and customer service, ironmaster not a fan of all the add on pieces . Prime said there's didn't stand vertically and stray dog don't offer a FID . I didn't want to spend Manta Ray rouge money but for the lift weight and storage not sure what's left ! I really believe the future for adjustable benches is 100lbs, vertical store and being a FID with super stability. Keep the reviews coming as ur doing a great job.... and the bench addiction is just fine to have 🤣

If you're referring to the bench rack combo, it's a decent and space friendly entry level product. Mine has held up well for years for benching and squats. The pad is slippery but mine still looks like new. Pin spacing is 2 inch and the plastic bar contact surfaces are thin. It's served me well but as soon as I make some space, I'm moving up to a full power rack and bench.

I'd personally take the 5200 2.0 over the SBP 2.0 but they're kind of in different leagues. The 5200 2.0 is an outstanding bench that borders on commercial quality and the SBP is the pinnacle of a home gym bench. Can do a lot and a lot of people really like it but it is home gym quality. If you need a do everything piece the SBP could be great for you once you get a bunch of attachments but the 5200 2.0 is better at being a bench.

Why doesn't REP or Rogue make a bench with leg curl and curl pad like the cheapo options from amazon and walmart? I picked up a rep system this month, haven't opened the boxes yet, but i was seriously looking at an elcheapo option because i used to have a bench with those features and used them all the time. Since i dont have space the walmart benches fit my needs but i wanted something heavier quality so sacrified features.

5200 2.0 or blackwing? Or 4100? I'm a first time home gym owner. Would prefer to buy once and not have to replace for a long time. I'm not even sure whether I need a 14" wide pad but I see a lot of forum posts of people saying they will never go smaller after trying 14"

5200 2.0 would be my pick as I don't use the deep decline of the BlackWing much and I'm not sure if we'll ever see other attachments. The 4100 is solid but not as robust. My wife loves it but I prefer the size and higher touches of the 5200. The BW is also a very good bench but the Zero Gap really isn't necessary and is still a bit clunky. I wouldn't worry about the wide pads. We workout with all types here and multiple guys rep 400+ and I've never heard them ask or want a 14" pad but there is some preference there
