As a "baller on a budget" your videos have helped tremendously with making sure I get the best bang for buck on home gym equipment since moving back to the US. Thank you so much.
Bought a prime bench simply due to the lack of inventory of other companies during Covid, and I don’t regret it at all. It’s super solid. Bench press, hip thrusts, sit ups, curls it doesn’t move, wiggle, or anything at all.
Rep needs to get better with inventory control. They show stuff as in-stock but then say the items are pre-ordered. I am waiting on a couple pieces of gear and have been for awhile.
@@avinashtyagi2 I've been browsing their racks for about two years. Not once have all the pieces I want been in stock. Granted I'm not checking everyday, but still...
I got the Titan Single Post Adjustable FID Bench after doing research on different options back in January 2021. It's served me well and is very sturdy. There were some flaws in the manufacturing/ tolerancing that caused some holes to not perfectly align and to have a slight wobble after assembly. The bench is also a bit too long in my opinion, so some overhead stuff is hard to do (5'9'').
AsSAMbly Tip on the Ironmaster SB Pro: Move the footplate with the wheels to the other end and you can stand it up vertically for storage. You also get more room for your feet with the narrower footplate at the seat end.
I bought the GRIND bench when I started my gym. It's ok for the price. The front foot pad is easily bent and renders the bench very unstable under weight. Thanks to lessons learned from this bench, I now also own an AB 3.0 💪
Really feel an adjustable bench should be the best overall...very few people will be happy for very long with just a flat bench. The AB4100 was a good choice. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Ironmaster in here, it's a very solid do-it-all bench. I really like mine, there's really nothing else out there that can do as much.
The Force USA MyBench - FID Bench with Arm and Leg Curl Attachments is a great bench. It is adjustable and has attachments for preacher curls, leg extensions and lying leg curls. Very versatile
Nice review! Would love to see the Torque XFIB mentioned sometime. It's outrageously expensive for a home gym, but it's half the cost of comparable commercial benches from Hammer Strength, Precor, Dynamic, etc.
I've had the Inspire SCS adjustable bench for a couple years and it's been great. Has some attachments, good quality, the upholstery is different but I like it.
i have tru grit flat bench, absolutely love it. looking for adjustable bench now. this vid helped. had titan adjustable v2...hated it, sold it, got true grit,and now here we are
Love my FB 5000 with wide pad. One of my favorite home gym investments. Adj. the AB 3000 is very solid as well. I might have upgraded that if I were to buy it today, but it was my first bench and honestly I think it's good enough to not bother upgrading.
Yeah, that recommendation doesn't hold up now that the bench has increased in price. The Grind bench looks like the best budget one at this point, looks to be just as good as the Tru Grit and it's still only $100.
Just googled your bench review vid after the pin on my Flybird adjustable bench broke while I was decline pressing (175lbs so not heavy). Definitely got my $150 out of it over five years but snap downwards with a barbell above scared the F outta me. Appreciate all your vids and advice!
I would like to see some more commercial grade benches thrown in. Example the Life Fitness signature series multi-adjustable bench. It's such a nice bench and a lot of commercial gyms carry it. They also offer a lot of color options for both the pad and frame. Precore's adjustable bench is also really nice. Atlantis Strength Adjustable bench is another one. I know their expensive, but they are really solid and the fact that you can get different color options with the pad and frame does help.
I have the Prime Fitness Adjustable Bench and can’t say enough about it. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Arm curl pads are so genius and work awesome as a foot stop during seated rowing in addition to their intended use. The decline attachment is so valuable to me but its handle, on mine, mounts perpendicular which I love and seems way better. Coop must have an older model??? The entire bench with both the arm curl pads and decline is industrial gym quality with zero doubt. The pad is dense, durable, deceptive and comfortable.
You miseed the Fitness reality SuperMax adjustable bench. I am 6'2 and my favorite part of this budget bench is the long back pad 33.5". The flybird you show is only 30.1". I can fold min up to 9" deep stored vertically and I actually hang it on the wall on a safety arm hold. Plus the Fitness reality is only $149 and is on sale right now for $119. I mean it's not prefect on fit and finish, the adjustment notch are welded on which i have heard people have issues with and the foot holder is not padded and can be uncomfortable; but I have used it for over 5 years with no issues. It amazes me how many gym equipment youtubers are talking about the fly bird with Fitness reality being out there.
@@Gymgineer Of course! I guess you guys need to start sending out of bunch of benches (and let's be honest probably some checks) to get mentioned along with flybird by all the fitness equipment you tubers.
I went with Rep AB 3100 after seeing a lot of positive reviews on UA-cam. I love the grippy pad and esthetic of the bench. But you definitely feel how light weight it is, and just doesn’t seem that high quality. Should’ve went 4100..
I use the Yukon adjustable. It works for me and wasn’t super expensive 5 years ago when I got it. I can do heavy dumbbells and it holds up. The adjustments sometimes don’t move too freely but I think I paid around $200 back then.
I have the rep fitness AB 3100 and i truley love it.. i was able to get it about $199 brand new about 7 months ago and for the price its the best i have ever tried
It's hard to beat that. I bought it on 2019 and it looks just as good as when I bought it. I considered the ab5000 but it was never in stock. No regrets with it.
Would like a video on column benches vs ladder style benches. Also, I think you missed out on some adjustable benches that have attachments like preacher curls, leg curls, pec flys that ATX benches can do
I saw the Vulcan Prime flat bench in the video a few times and in the background of some other recent videos. I’d actually take that one over the FB-5000 personally. Vulcan doesn’t charge tax so it’s about the same price but is just a sleeker bench and more stable too. I was waiting for that one last year to come back in stock but ended up getting the Rogue Monster.
Fitness Reality Super Max XL is the best budget adjustable bench IMO! $200 850lb capacity folds to stand up and has leg holsters for decline and sit-ups. Excellent bench!!!
I have the Titan single post competition flat bench. Titan has so many sales that anyone should be able to get it for about $140 if they are patient. It’s a tripod design, has a handle, and stands up.
Best reviews over years out there. WIth growing professionalism and reach, it would be great if you could also make a special with a far look over the big lake. Not all your recommendations are available in Europe which is often disappointing. Maybe you habe means to check out what’s hot and what’s not in Europe
@@GarageGymReviews I use a grey "adjustable bed frame support leg" from Amazon that matches the bench finish very well, and is the perfect height. Very secure - highly recommend, if looking for something less breakable. (this trick can work on most benches with a rear post)
1:07 1 minute in but i'm appreciating the energy, the jokes, and the bright orange shorts 😁👍 i started with a few pieces of equipment last year and was doing good (simple barbell setup, a bike, dumbells, exercise bands and a pullup bar i never installed.). then fam health issues, then more recently a stupid medication that blew out my progress and set me back 30+. losing my mind on that. anyways, off the med, starting over. got a few more items for garage gym. (climbing rope, olympic rings, and installed pullup bar). figured a bench would be the next best really useful thing. DON'T WANNA GET SOMETHING THAT CAN COLLAPSE. i read some concerning reviews on amazon, about parts failure. don't wanna do *cheap over SAFE* despite good reviews. and amazon's star system and reviews is all fukked to hell anyway. so, i'm glad to see a real review. and i'm having nostalgia because i definitely saw this channel back when i was starting out and the reviews were SO friggin helpful.
I could not stop watching this. I love Rep Fitness but never considered their benches before. I’m actually going to replace my Fringesport flat bench for the Rep. And I wasn’t even looking for a flat bench….
I have a bells of steel hero bench, so-so overall. Love the stability, needs a tweak to the foam on the top surface for a bit more “out of the box” use. Even a few millimeters of compression would be preferred in my opinion. Overall 85%
What about the Hoist Fitness adjustable bench? I love mine! Nice finish. Wheels. Interchangeable attachments for foot rest/leg extensions and leg curls, super high weight capacity, really stable, beautiful leather and soft comfortable padding…I LOVE mine. Would love to know how you think it stacks up against the competition. Thanks Coop & GGR!
PRx Fully Adjustable Bench, great price so an incline, flat and decline adjustments (decline up to 20 degrees), with foot folds and made in America for $400 (although we know you hate their shipping, still this is the deal)
Do you think you could do a best all in one bench? For example like a bench that has incline, decline, leg attachments for extensions and leg curls, etc.
I have been to dozens of ppl's home gyms and I have only seen only three type. Those that just built a home gym normally have one that came from a set such as a Weider Legacy Adjustable Bench. Those that upgraded and gets something like a flybird. Then those that want something heavier move to a Keppi 1200LB. I have both the keppi and the Rep AB-3000 2.0 and I used these interchangeably. When I built my second gym I just went a Keppi 1200.
Coop I think you need to do a video om what equipment to take with you if you go on vacation with car and you take your training seriously. Like wich squat stand cand you take with you, and barbell maybe like the mobile bar, dumbell and so on.....
I thought about using the Titan independent squat stands but they are very heavy. I went with the cheap Amazon squat stands that are adjustable in height.
I have the older model Ironmaster bench which requires a "step" or plyometeric box at the end for my feet as it's too high. My feet are on it's tippy toes when benching without the box. I'm 5'10" with 30 inseam. The attachments are wobbly and not tight but not a deal breaker.
I have the Rogan 3.0 and really enjoy it. I like that it's heavy. I'm thinking about getting a Titan hefty pad flat bench. I've worked out with one and really enjoyed it too.
Coop, nice review, obviously, benches are a very popular and personal topic. After spending a lot of money on Amazon and getting rid of the equipment, I am now brand loyal to Rogue with the exception of the bench, a Hoist HF-5165 F.I.D., $550, with the preacher curl attachment, another $160, both were a significant upgrade from what I had. Have you ever reviewed or looked at Hoist HF-5165 7 position bench?
Would love a comparison of the PRx Profile Flat Folding Bench and the Rogue Fold Up Utility Bench. I don’t bench very often so my standard Rogue Flat bench takes up more space than it’s worth at times. Would like to know how the fold up benches compare. Thanks for all the great videos.
Bit late but the AB3100 is a great bench. It's solid and nice. I purchased mine before they switched to shipping included and it had a 1000 lbs capacity listed when I got it, not sure what they did to drop the rating to 700 in the past year but it holds up well to use.
Fitness Reality 2000 Super Max XL High Capacity NO Gap Weight Bench with Detachable Leg Lock-Down! Great bench for the money! Number one reason I went with it is cause it’s made for TALL GUYS like me!!
The Titan fitness single post adjustable bench seems like a pretty good bench in my opinion! I've used this bench for a little while now and it seems to be holding up just fine. I don't know if this would be something that you would be interested in reveiwing, but it would be most appreciated if you did, Thanks!
I have a Big5 Marcy flat bench that cost me around $60 7 years ago & its still holding up. I use it as a barrier for my 1 year old now but while it was in my gym, I had no complaints about it.
I had that one and used it for years. While benching a few months ago I unracked, lowered an then kept going for some reason. Pressed up and couldn’t rack because the bench had physically bent. Good for the price though and only something to worry about once you get stronger
I have a Hoist Fitness 5165 FID 7 position bench which I was able to use powertec accessory’s on and the couple of accessory’s hoist has , love the bench 🤙
I was hoping to see one of these in the video bc you can find them for like 150-200 for all that seems like a killer value just haven't seen any large and reputable channels do a breakdown vid on them
Hey Coop I followed your recommendations when building my home gym 2 years ago. Down 80lbs since then, thanks a lot!
@@StatueofGuyThinkingI am
Keep it up
It may seem that Coop doesn’t care, but he might
Big ups!

I never buy anything for my home gym without consulting GGR. Coop is the utmost authority on home gym equipment and his expertise is unmatched
Also I have the grind bench as well as the grind squat rack. Both are great budget options and I’d recommend them both
Btw REP is killing it overall. Rogue has increased their prices so much since the pandemic.
Rep needs to get better with inventory control. They show stuff as in-stock but then say the items are pre-ordered. I am waiting on a couple pieces of gear and have been for awhile.
For sure. Benches are where they shine.

I just bought an Ironmaster Pro with the pull up bar, decline situp and dip bar attachments and I love it!
I love the grippy texture of the rep benches. Have both the incline and flat bench from them.
Coop it’s amazing seeing your videos from 5 years ago and todays videos. It’s so crazy how much you’ve changed 🤝
An also the channel has changed. So cool man.
I got the iron master super bench pro. Best bet for a small gym. Small footprint. Very versatile
It is good for short people below 5'10.
AsSAMbly Tip on the Ironmaster SB Pro: Move the footplate with the wheels to the other end and you can stand it up vertically for storage. You also get more room for your feet with the narrower footplate at the seat end.
The Inspire SCS is an amazing versatile bench with Incline, Decline, Wheels, and attachments as extras: Preacher Curl & Leg Extension/Leg Curl.
Thanks for the overview guys! Lots of options and something for everyone!

Exactly. No adjust. No buy.
So true
Surprised Prime wasnt the winner
Yeah not having adjustability seems pretty silly. If you’re on a budget though it’s not a bad idea
Two years with my REP AB-3000 FID and going strong.
Same with me. I use the decline feature a lot more than I thought that I would when I bought the bench.

Thanks for validating my action of starting with a fly bird adjustable and upgrading to a REP FB since I mostly use a flat bench
YUP! I think this isn't talked about enough. Start small, upgrade over time! - Coop
Prime adjustable bench is the best bench I have ever owned. Great versatility and light-ish weight for easy maneuverability
I really like this segment. You did a really good job on your recommendations.
Man, my zero gap rep bench is awesome. Love the no gap for comfort, it stands up, and I can do decline stuff on it.
Just a heads up for anyone that needs to know - Best Buy is selling the Tru Grit flat bench today (8/1) for only $50. Hope y’all are able to grab one!

I love my FB 5000, but hated my AB 3000 i ended up returning it and eating all the fees.
Would you say the AB-5000 is the best Rep adjustable bench?
The first bench(crapola) was $200 reg price, so the rep ($209) would still be the better choice for best flat bench over all!!
Yeah, that recommendation doesn't hold up now that the bench has increased in price. The Grind bench looks like the best budget one at this point, looks to be just as good as the Tru Grit and it's still only $100.
Im a big fan of my ironmaster bench, i got it back in 2017 for 300 bucks but noticed they cost a bit more now but it was a great value at the time

Fitness Reality 2000 Super Max XL High Capacity NO Gap Weight Bench with Detachable Leg Lock-Down! Great bench for the money! Number one reason I went with it is cause it’s made for TALL GUYS like me!!
i would love to see something about the best dumbells adjustables, fixed and all the other stuff
also love the content
Thank you for the review, made my decision
Great channel!
Where’s the GetRX FIDAB-2? I think it stacks right up there with the top benches and combines full decline with ladder adjustment
Agreed
doesn't just line up, its better. less slop/movement in the bench and some cool features
I have the rep fb4000 and it’s plenty of bench for a home gym. I’ll be getting the ab4100 from Santa this year
Great review. Please do the review of the Force USA G20.
Rep AB 4100 in clear grind would be dope. Would buy one if offered.
Oooh, I could see that being popular!
Thank you for the great video
Thank you honestly exactly the info I wanted some stuff just cost too much
Can you please do a review of neck machine rack attachments? Like titan vs sorinex vs stray dog?
The Titan fitness single post adjustable bench seems like a pretty good bench in my opinion! I've used this bench for a little while now and it seems to be holding up just fine. I don't know if this would be something that you would be interested in reveiwing, but it would be most appreciated if you did, Thanks!
I have a Big5 Marcy flat bench that cost me around $60 7 years ago & its still holding up. I use it as a barrier for my 1 year old now but while it was in my gym, I had no complaints about it.
I had that one and used it for years. While benching a few months ago I unracked, lowered an then kept going for some reason. Pressed up and couldn’t rack because the bench had physically bent. Good for the price though and only something to worry about once you get stronger
I noticed he said this bench is for shorter ppl I’m little over 6ft does this work for folks that are taller?
Great breakdown.
I have a Hoist Fitness 5165 FID 7 position bench which I was able to use powertec accessory’s on and the couple of accessory’s hoist has , love the bench 🤙
The Weider bench is hands down the best budget. It goes decline, incline, leg extension, laying ham curl, and biceps curls!!!
I was hoping to see one of these in the video bc you can find them for like 150-200 for all that seems like a killer value just haven't seen any large and reputable channels do a breakdown vid on them
