Facts are facts, they've been making improvements on every iteration and the color options are key for many looking to have a specific color scheme. What's your goto rep bench if you only could pick one
I already owned 2 benchs from rep (fb5000,ab 4100). Im definitely getting ab3000 soon for sure. I dont know why i need another one but it looks so cool. Also need a good explanation to my wife for getting it. Thank for the review. Im sold!
When it shows up, assemble it and get rid of the boxes before she comes home. Then pretend you've had that bench for like over a year (and how dear she only notice it now)....
The fact that the old ab3000 didn’t have those rubber feet is the reason I sold mine. Otherwise it was perfect so this might be my Christmas present to myself 🎁
I actually like the old lever arm at the front of the bench. Very easy to move the bench around. Decline on the bench is great for low rows if you’ve never tried it.
Just got mine delivered today in red. Dang, this thing is a tank. A little lower to the ground than I thought it would be, but it should work great since the seat pad is adjustable.
Been watching video over and over. Can't decide on this one vs the 4100. I'm thinking 3100 now that it's getting the same quality as the 4100 but with a decline option.
Great review! New sub here. I recently purchased this bench. Could you please explain to me so I understand why they include two pins for the roller adjustment?. I can see one to hold it in place but what is the second one for? And the directions that shows you using to, but I just can’t figure it out. Thank you in advance.
I was going to get the AB4100 but i do like the decline option for sit ups . I think i will be purchasing this today not sure what color Metallic Black/White or Red.
Like others, I'm trying to decide between this and the 4100 for my first bench. I'm curious, do you think decline bench press and decline situps are worth it? Or do you think they're a waste? I'm also curious because the decline angle is only 15 degrees so it's not really that much decline. Trying to figure out if the decline is worth it or not.
I almost never do decline for bench or sit-ups so it's an easy choice for me. I think if you plan to do decline bench press then get the 3000 but I wouldn't bother with it for sit ups imo. If you use my link let me know so I can send you a thank you gift Nofate247@gmail.com 🙏
So disappointed that they didn't incorporate vertical storage. Rep needs to understand they are catered to mostly 'home gym' owners. So every engineering design that goes into their product has to incorporate some sort of space saving into it. It is an absolute must and not incorporating that into this 2.0 design is a huge missed opportunity.
If this had vertical storage, man it might have been 10/10 all around. I wonder if they experimented with that but the decline option made it problematic to have both.
I don't currently have a leg roller attachment for my cage to hold my legs down when doing lat pull-downs. I'm curious, have you ever tried using the foot holders on this bench to hold yourself in place for lat pulldowns? Curious if that works?
@@NoFate247 thanks and still waiting for a UA-camber to review the Bridge built pulley system before I pull the trigger on that. Pretty expensive vs a lat pull-down attachment for my X3
Blazzed makes the exact same bench for much less. Probably their 3rd party manufacturer stole their design and undercut them. To the point of practically cutting and pasting from rep we site to their own.
@@NoFate247 I'm sorry I didn't mean to promote competitive products. Just trying to help someone get a good deal. The bench will be here Friday and as near as I can tell, it IS the ab30002.0. Not a copy, but the actual bench with a different badge. Well see soon
Are you impressed with the New Upgrades to the AB-3000 or doesn't move your needle?

I love that the seat pad flips. That is awesome. This bench was a solid option, and this update has fortified that it seems. Great breakdown man!

@@NoFate247 I have the AB5200. It is the king of benches. Top section is long enough to be used as a flat bench and it adjusts.

Have to give that a try. Going to try seal rows with it today
Lots of nice upgrades all the things that you mentioned they upgraded were things I had problems with the original version
Yeah this certainly deserved that 2.0 monicure. Plus I know people want this in white too

Yeah it's battle ready for sure
Wow you got that in quick! What a funny bit btw lol the gloves 😂
Thanks!!! Had fun filming it even though it took me forever
The gloves bro LOL I love it. Good review bro!!

Yes if space isn't an issue go with this one
This was a particularly good video!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Waiting for a Black Friday deal on this lol
The old one is on sale now for $279 but this might go on sale closer to Thanksgiving
@@NoFate247 too bad they don't have it in orange still so just get a black one
@@thisguyrighthere4634 I love the red but white looks sick too
Can you do Nordic curls on the roller
Yes
That hat is sweet! Great video!
My red and black lumber jack hat
Thanks for watching 🙏
Love the drama and the hat
The shipping cost is ridiculous in Canada, unfortunate!
They are working to fix that as much they can or so I am told
When you flip the seat pad does it minimize the gap or does the size of the gap remain the same?
I found it minimized the gap but there is still a gap.

Thanks 🙏. My understanding is the second pin you can use to lock the feet in the furthest back position so it won't have any where to move

What about the flat height. 18inches? Could it replace the competition flat benches for folks that want the most out of their bench press
It could replace a flat bench and most people won't notice much difference between their comp bench
I don't currently have a leg roller attachment for my cage to hold my legs down when doing lat pull-downs. I'm curious, have you ever tried using the foot holders on this bench to hold yourself in place for lat pulldowns? Curious if that works?
You can use it to brace yourself for low cable rows but not enough clearance to get your feet under them for pull downs
Would you say that this is better value than their standard 3100?
Yes if you use decline for abs or benching.
Is the width the same on this as the AB-3000? I've heard some people say they prefer the width of the 3100.
It is wider than the previous ab3000 version
I'm about to buy either the AB-4100 or the even smaller AB-3100, opinions?
Go with the 4100 it's fantastic, more color options, and can stand up when not being used to save you a ton of space
@@NoFate247 hopefully there's a black Friday deal coming up
@@We.R.Comics most likely they have them daily now. Check out the link in the description to see the deals they have and they update that daily
So whats the difference between this one and the ab 4100? Can I store the ab3000 2.0 standing up like the ab4100
No it is n can't be stored up right and the 4100 can't do decline
Could you use the decline for some abdominal work or is it not that comfortable?
I was doing decline sit ups and medicine ball to toes and a few others so definitely many for abs
I don't really do decline bench presses either but was looking at this bench for decline abs workout so is that alone worth it? Thanks ❤️
If only for decline abs probably not better off with an ab3000 or ab4100
@@NoFate247 thanks and still waiting for a UA-camber to review the Bridge built pulley system before I pull the trigger on that. Pretty expensive vs a lat pull-down attachment for my X3
I am struggling to find the differences between this and the AB-4100 what makes that one better?
The 3000 has decline and 300 pounds MORE weight capability.
If you want to do decline then you want this bench if you never use decline go with the 4100 (more color options too)
Can you remove the leg rollers at a moments notice or it has to stay on at all times?
Great question! It is attached with a bolt, so about 90 seconds with a wrench
If you don’t do decline you can remove it altogether
