It’s honestly better than Rogues, which seems roughly to be get sponsored athletes design equipment for themselves and spend no time testing with their actual consumers. Then when it turns out the product doesn’t work for their actual consumers, immediately release an update (20% of the time) that pisses off early adopters or do absolutely nothing for 3 years or more until a new product kinda maybe sorta tries to address the flaws of the first. I think reps marketing of their r&d is better than their actual r&d which is mostly just listening to their actual customers and the reviewers that represent them. While they’re awesome at this, Titan does the same and is catching up.

I bought this bench largely based on this review. The bench got in last week and it is fantastic. I am so excited about the upgrade. Titan did a great job here

I like the review and that Titan is looking to compete against the big boys with better quality equipment. I will say that if it wasn’t for this channel a lot of fitness manufacturers would NOT even bother to step up their game. Keep the pressure on them with your honest REVIEWS.🎉🎉🎉

I bought this bench based on this review. I just so happened to be in the market for an adjustable bench, and this did help sway my decision. Great observations, Coop. 10/10 Review.

Can we see a review of the griffin adjustable bench 2.0? I'd think it would be in the same category as this and the Rogue adjustable 3.0 and REP ab5200 2.0.

I bought the Titan adjustable FID bench mainly because I wanted to do decline sit ups and it’s honestly amazing! I’m happy with my Titan purchase

You should review the griffin adjustable bench. It competing with these benches imo.

Looks like the same thing as the rep ab 3000 2. Same exact price, so I'm guessing if not rebadge it was made to compete with that.

Thanks Coop. Love your reviews as they are very complete and cover every facet. I don’t need an adjustable bench right now but this sure has me tempted 👍

I am blown away at how well made that looks and it’s a sexy bench. Love it

Gotta love titan upping their game. More competition = more value for us! I actually just got the titan series barbell (made in USA) and it seems pretty decent as well for the value.

What happened to the "feel weight" of lifting the bench by the handle with a luggage scale?

I love it! Less to assemble & free shipping! Looks super stable! And the price!

Thank you ,BUYING THIS BENCH ASAP!!

Titan stepping up their game. Looks like an awesome bench.

@@JonHanner-un7ef Bought it. Used it. The hinge is a complete non issue. If you have even minimal arch you won't feel it. Even with no arch it's not uncomfortable with 200 lbs on the bar. Not even sure what the reviewers are talking about. I'm not convinced they actually really tried benching on this thing. It's also way higher build quality than my Rep FB 5000, and the vinyl is noticeably better. I already miss the extra cushion on the 5000 but I'm still going to sell it. My hope was I could replace 2 benches with one and this is 10x better than my ironmaster for adjustable benching and 90% as good as my FB 5000 for flat benching - and better for almost every other workout I'd do with a bench for both of them because of how much more stable it is. Definite win for me.

Another great review, Coop! I see you using the Nike barbell and bumpers. Can't wait for those reviews.

Coop you should review the Rep Fitness straight handle dumbbells or the Giant Lifting ones. Also more selectorized machines!

Wondering if you would recommend this over the Rep AB-4100 since that bench is $400 and this is $450

It’s $410 if you give them a new email address. I’ve been waiting for a Black Friday 4100 sale and went with this for $10 more instead. Very comparable benches in feel/specs but this one obviously looks and feels more premium and way more stable

one other thing to note is REP has a several color options on their version. Not a big deal, but worth noting for those who are interested.

I am starting my home gym from scratch. What bench would you go with if you were me? Rep 4100 or this?

Titan with their last 2 releases, this bench and the new squatmax have upped their game. They seem to be going after REP's customers and I'm glad to see it but my ecosystem is REP so I'll stay with REP but they just stole a lot of sales from REP. I dont think Titan will ever get Rogue's customers because Rogue is just too expensive for Titan to mess with but this is good for all home gym customers now that Titan has a legit sit at the big boy table. Nice going Titan, you hit a homerun, now keep it up!!!!!

Good video. This bench or the REP Fitness AB4100?

Great review! Great bench! Too late for me, I bought the Rep AB 5000, which I like, but don't love because it's too high at 17.5". I wish some of these AB all in one benches would come in a shorty version. Really short. So I can comfortably use it as a flat bench and use my legs for stability.

Coop, can you please do a review and comparison of the Keppi Bench5000? I'm not seeing why someone would go with any other more expensive bench right now (besides maybe the Iron Master for the versatility) since the Keppi is consistently on sale for around $300 and includes decline with leg holders, zero gap technology, and comparable sturdiness/weight capacity. I guess the Keppi bench is more than 17" high off the ground so maybe that's the main downside but otherwise I'm not seeing much else so I would love to get a detailed analysis of it to find out what makes other benches from big names worth spending $150+ more.

Coop would love to see review on reps wall mounted Athena if you can get your hands on it

I bought this today because of this review

Thanks for the great review! I was interested all the way until there was no decline option. I only have room for one bench and need it to check as many boxes as possible. For declines is the front foot sturdy enough that I could just block it up?

Appreciate the video! Does the texture on the logo on the pad change with it being embossed like that?

Cool awesome review BUT wish you commented more and showed the welding work and how it compares to Rogue and Rep as it’s all over.

REVIEW THE TITAN SERIES FID BENCH NEXT PLEASE!!!

I am still happy I went with the rep blackwing. While it's not made in the us, rep at least does most of their own r&d.

Lol. The mindfu** rep has accomplished to convince people like you that you’re buying from anything more than Titan + product managers is impressive. You’re buying from a company that ripped and slightly refined other peoples ideas and moved the manufacturing to China to sell it cheaper than the original. This bench is doing exactly what rep did with the 5200. They’re both stealing from the same source but Titan actually refined more and dropped the height to actual comp spec and added some thickness to the pad to make it more comfortable for heavy flat bench.

@@AnontheGOATthis. I bought it day one and am quite happy. My only complaint is the same as some other reviews have pointed out-the wheels don’t sit quite far enough out so it’s easy to lift it too high when wheeling and ground it out - making it slightly more annoying to move than it already is by being so heavy. I still do it almost every session though. It has successfully replaced my Ironmaster + rep fb5000 by being a way better adjustable bench than Ironmasters and about 85% as good as the rep even though it’s not a dedicated flat bench. Cleared some room for my Nordic/ghd/back extension from Freak which I also love.

@@AnontheGOAT Black wing is probably a better bench but it’s significantly more money. I bought a wide pad for my fb 5000 and gave it away. Unless you’re huge or using it for nordics it’s not worth it. It gets in the way of my bench because my grip is on the narrow end and I can’t get full rom . I also think decline is highly overrated. If you’re not already doing it you’re probably not going to start. I’m sure you’ll be very happy with it-but those are my thoughts and why I didn’t go black wing.

Good work to Titan with this one. Welded too.. ^^ Looking like we may have a new contender in the making.

Just so you know the rogue adjustable bench 3.0 comes with that V bracket welded together now so it’s not as apart as you say.

first let me say,, i enjoy watching your reviews,, with that said im looking to purchase a FID bench,, my question do you think the additional $200 is worth the differences between the titian series and the titian elite ,, currently $289 vs $470 with sales on now,, thanks

My old school Body Masters adjustable bench has that same annoying bushing but it just takes learning how to adjust your aim for the rollback. Haven’t had issues after that first week. I wish these brands would bring back the tube design though…can’t make the switch to ladder

Would you pick titan fitness bench over rep 4100 adjustable bench? I have the rep 3000 2.0 looking for a better one.

I like the decline option and my choice would be Rep, but the titan bench has come a long way, just saying, great video! I saw you use both adjustable dumbbells, which is your favorite, Peppin or Trulap? Be honest coop!

Pad gap is like the Cybex 5435. No issue.

This looks like a great bench, and you gotta admit Titan came in at 100 bucks less and free shipping!! I really don't understand why most, if not all, companies don't include decline. Am I missing something, like decline work just isn't beneficial or something. Since I have limited space so I am still leaning towards Iron Master. I hate the padding ( a friend has one) but if you try to change it you can't use thicker foam because the addons won't work. (seat etc etc).

I have and am going to sell the ironmaster. I kind of hate it. I bought the pro pad too and it's way too thin/hard for flat bench - and slippery af. Even with the anti slip mat i bought for it, it ruins my shoulders on flat bench so I still use my Rep FB 5000. My goal was to replace my FB with an adjustable I could flat bench with and ironmaster failed miserably (and wasn't cheap). I also hate the seat being an attachment - sometimes I don't want a 90 degree angle between the back and seat but I have no choice. I bought this for $405 with the 10% off coupon. I've been waiting for over a year for a bench with these exact specs. I was going to buy the Rep 4100 on a sale instead but Coop's review on this things stability (and also the premium look of this thing) sold me. On decline work - it's mostly useless. If you love doing decline work definitely do it and spend an extra $100+ for a bench that supports it. But I personally prefer dips for a ton of reasons. Usually when you see high level body builders or strength athletes doing decline work it's a very mild decline (because there are better exercises like dips to hit the same muscles as a steep incline) - i.e. one that you could achieve with any flat bench (or this bench) and a short block or weight plate.

Uses a non-linear gradation incline/decline lock system.

What's the play with the bench side-to-side? or is it solid? This definitily should hav e been reviewed!

Rep is still the king of benches. With titans reputation for customer service or lack thereof I would just go rep. And im a t2 owner and own plenty of titan equipment. Anything you touch (barbell or bench) makes sense to go elsewhere.

I’d definitely buy it. Love seeing Titan step up. More competition is better for all.

I don't get this whole grippy vinyl pad thing. Honestly, for Powerlifting it is important but as a powerlifter you would choose a flat bench for bench pressing anyway. For bodybuilding / fitness training a more slicky pad is way better because it allows the shoulder blades / scapulas to slide freer during the movements. I wish the companys would offer two versions of pads for their new benches. A grippy version for powerlifting and a more slicky one for bodybuilding.

All this prep work to start talking about how heavy these feel to move a bench (the front lift aka/wifey test) but you forgot this time :(

Why don't they make benches with a decline angle anymore I hate the new benches that you have to sit backwards and super high of the ground
