You did a solid for the home gym community with this one Gluck! I honestly never knew they had more than one bench, and I never heard good things about that bench. You were surprisingly fair with this one 😉 Great video y’all!
Thanks for another honest review! These always seem tempting. Especially in this economy, where I decide to make sacrifices. So far my focus has been on bar, Rack, and weight quality. Lately, I find myself wanting to upgrade my Amazon basics flat bench. Believe it or not, that budget bench has taken me further than I hoped it could :)
You can get some good value from those budget items if you choose wisely! I think you've got your mind on the right place and I hope you end up with a great build. Thanks for the support!
I have a Skip Sport adjustable bench that I bought used off some old guy. I think it's fairly old, but it's so stable and great. I can only find a prisjakt page with no links to any store pages, even outdated ones. Mine has text on the pad, which the one on the page does not.
I hope your REP affiliate links are working - just bought a bunch of stuff from them through your links! Your channel has been a lifesaver for getting what I needed and feeling good about it.
I find it interesting i found almost no one review the one that i purchased! Its the flybird adjustable bench with the red single stripe on the bench and the red adjustable rod or whatever you call that part. Its the first one ive ever had and i absolutely love it 💛 i can even do dragon flags on them so i know they can handle a lot without me being paranoid of it breaking on me. Idk why there's so many different ones though. I only bought this one i think for 80 something bucks!
I've been getting great results with thee flybird. Paid 99$ so can't complain. (Foldable one popular version padding isn't as comfortable. Hes correct on describing it.)
how dare you not test these benches with a 1000 lb bench press test!!!! Awesome video man, expensive benches don't always equal better for some people.
I got the midgrade bench on sale for like 110-120$. I like it so far and I'm under 6 foot it doesn't feel too small feels like a good size and very sturdy. I don't plan to use it for more than 400+ pounds or anything so.
The round offset foot rubbers is an interesting concept. While with more expensive benches you would not want round feet due to the concentration of force potentially flattening out the foot. Higher end manufacturers could still make their square foot rubbers with different thicknesses for all four sides so you can have a bit of adjustment on more expensive benches.
Most tend to just have rubber that can somewhat work for uneven surfaces. I neglected showing off the feet of the Flybird Pro model which have an interesting foot adjustment system.
I bought the FB149, got it today, and my conclusion is as follows : the one I received has the frame of the FB299 (based on footrest with a pin and shape of the bench when it folds) but the seat and backrest of the FB149, I guess they're either upgrading the FB149 or swapping parts based on what's available... Anyone else has experienced this?
Nice review you two! I can definitely see this bench for people who WFH and do some light db work at their lunch break. But anyone who is pushing heavy weight should save up and get a REP, IMO. Hopefully when people Google Flybird Benches the SEO pushes this to the top!
I would hope for that too but we haven't had much lucky lately with those might Algos. Ah well, maybe someday. It's got a place for some people but I agree, at some point you'd probably have to upgrade.
great reviews sir! I only want a foldable weight bench for a small room for a guy that is 69 years old that is 5'9" and shrinking with basic and easy stow-away. Any recommendations?
You should review the Prime adjustable bench. There are very little reviews outside of coops and it's a similar price range to rep and rogues better benches
Always have to watch a Gluck video 2-3 times to make sure I didn't miss anything; I enjoy them all. And just when I thought you had answered every question on benches, you cover a (huge) niche market for these popular items. The AB-4100 checked all the boxes for me, and I couldn't be happier. Although I'm happy with my two DB sets, I just had to go exploring and shopping only to find the usual result: a piece of equipment might be otherwise perfect, only to discover the one flaw the company overlooked ruined the whole gd thing! Meanwhile I'm out another $1,000 and I'm cursing myself for being so stupid, stupid, stupid! Hey, thanks for the video, and no matter the cost or quality, never stop talking benches! 👍💯👍
i purchased a bench from Amazon that is identical to the Flybird FB139 for almost 1/2 price .... most of the variety coming out of China is simply rebranding !!!
@@GlucksGym Ya us inner city people, who prefer to workout at home, need to be able to stow it away… All other benches aren’t even an option. Ya I’ve seen the Flybird video, but wondering about how other stowable manufacturers compare.
Hey, so enjoy your channel. Great content. So riddle me this, Gluckman. You directed me to those triangle dumbbells I asked you about. Told you they were like 800 bucks for a pair and I passed. I then found Kabuki, from whom I got my beloved Kadillac bar, selling a variant of those just not adjustable weight. Great. I place a 10 pound pair in my cart. $189. A bit steep for 10 pound dumbbells but ok. Shipping to NY. SIXTY F’in dollars. Are they wacko? $45 flat fee to ship a 125 pound bench from rogue, free shipping from titan. OMG. I demand you and Winnie fix it. Lol. Thanks for letting me rant, buddy.
At the extreme budget range I'd say no but at higher budgets there's some decent ones. It's also my... unofficial stance that Rep will be adding something like this to at least one of their benches.
Hello how are you? Thanks for your videos. Do you think that I can bench press 225lbs on any of these benches if I weigh 185lbs? would it be relatively safe?
I get very nervous when I see those thin steel support rods. They start bending when I just look at them long enough. I did consider it when I was first building my home gym…that was until I found REP.
In a sea of rogue advertisements and Insta posts, nice to see some budget options in the worlds. Although… probably won’t be trading in my 4100 for one these.
It could also be that I currently have 13 benches 😂 These are fine for a lot of people, we don't all need 125 lbs tank benches and it's a nice chance to give back
@@GlucksGym I’m only lifting a small percentage due to my age and abilities. Just have to save up my money. I started working out in a spare room in 2020 and have some dumb Bells and used bike and reformer from Facebook marketplace. It just takes time. :)
All the gramer issus frm fly🦅 had me rolling!😂😂. For the price, these benches are legit. Yes, there are better ones for more money, but these will definitely get the job done. I just sold my REP FID. Do you recommend the rogue 3.0 or the “FLYBIRD weight bench, 1100LBS Weight Capacity Strength Training Bench Heavy-Duty Adjustable Workout Bench?”
Congratulations. You made a video about discount benches that was entertaining. Not many can do that. Have you ever thought about doing any DIY equipment?
I have done a ton of DIY and building and designing is one of my passions. Lately building the gym has taken up all my time and that includes physically actually building the space which I hope to finish tomorrow!
@@GlucksGym I figured. I noticed the walls. That’s some quality work. Have you ever built any accessories for your rack, like a leg press or a belt squat attachment?
They asked if I wanted to do a video and I accepted if I could do all 6 in one and I told them I'd give them away when I was done and I'd be honest, and here we are.
That’s a good weight capacity. I always get nervous when I’m benching over 1,000lbs on a cheap bench.
Me too so I curl over 1,000 on my cheap benches but I will not bench on them
Flybird have a helium balloon attachment for barbells which allows all their benches to handle 1000lbs.
Lol
@@johncoelho9509no shit

Very true. We don't all need this over built stuff I seem to be collecting
I’ve benched 405x2 at 266lbs body weight on a fly bird FB139 adjustable bench
You're a brave person 😁
6:50 LOLL finally, someone with the balls to actually do this to prove that these can handle more than the stated weight capacity.
Really didn't think it would make it that far and I didn't need Wynie dealing with my death if it didn't
@@GlucksGym Good thinking 👍
LOL also the part where you slipped while decline benching.. That would have scared the crap out of me too ha

That’s cool they sent you all of those. I think I would rather save up a little extra and go with REP.
If you have the time and ability to save up it can be a great upgrade but for some thing could be all the bench they'll need.

hi, I am watching one bench from JOROTO fitness, the model is JOROTO MD80, will you have a plan to review this bench?
I had a flybird adjustable bench - it was fine and folded up really nicely - but it was just too small. The decline was also too steep.
Yeah I found those same issues
I bought the FB149, got it today, and my conclusion is as follows : the one I received has the frame of the FB299 (based on footrest with a pin and shape of the bench when it folds) but the seat and backrest of the FB149, I guess they're either upgrading the FB149 or swapping parts based on what's available...

So which one is the best
Great reviews. There's a reason they sent them for your reviews.
Thank you. Now if only the mighty algorithm would notice.

I've had a few requests for that and others. Hard to keep up atm, we're not full time and companies are kicking out stuff fast.

Is 550 pound weight limit good for a adjustable bench?
I would like this bench. It looks great.
i purchased a bench from Amazon that is identical to the Flybird FB139 for almost 1/2 price .... most of the variety coming out of China is simply rebranding !!!
Awesome videos! It would be cool if you could do a review of all of the stowable benches out there (including some of these Flybird ones)!
We did one on all the Flybird benches. I'll have to look into stowaway ones like you mentioned.
@@GlucksGym Ya us inner city people, who prefer to workout at home, need to be able to stow it away… All other benches aren’t even an option.
Ya I’ve seen the Flybird video, but wondering about how other stowable manufacturers compare.
The 149 is mostly the same bench as the ADVENOR Weight Bench which is even cheaper.
I had a flybird before my rep and it was good for the price but the height and round feet that would fall off drove me crazy.
Yeah. I really feel like they hear need a few small changes
Solid review as always
Thank you Wayne!
After watching your review. I will stick to my rep and bells of steel benches. Lol love the review 👍👍
As long as you enjoyed the video 😊
Gluck = King of Benches
Finally someone brave enough to say it 😂
Wynie getting right to business. LOL!
😂 She wants to go to bed
I still have my fb149 as a back up, but upgraded to the ab-5200 because the pad hight was too tall and it slipped really bad on stall mats.
Yeah you sacrifice some things at that price but maybe they'll make a few small adjustments down the road.
"Commercial Quality" = TITAN
You mean the Pivoting Tricep bar right?!

Kabuki has some prices that can be very high. They make some interesting pieces but wooo the cost at times.
Is it worth to choose a bench that has leg extension/curl attachment? Or are this leg extension attachments usually crap?
At the extreme budget range I'd say no but at higher budgets there's some decent ones. It's also my... unofficial stance that Rep will be adding something like this to at least one of their benches.
Found mine to overdeliver on the price point, perfect definition of budget Bench
Definition of a budget bench is probably a very good way to put it.
Hello how are you? Thanks for your videos. Do you think that I can bench press 225lbs on any of these benches if I weigh 185lbs? would it be relatively safe?
I wouldn't. You could on the pro but near that price level there's better options.
13:31 time mark 🤤
Where can I get that dip attachment and what bench would it be compatable with?
Can you link the time in the video of what you're talking about? It might sound odd but I never remember what I said 😂
I get very nervous when I see those thin steel support rods. They start bending when I just look at them long enough. I did consider it when I was first building my home gym…that was until I found REP.
Yeah especially vs something like a Rep (or even their Pro model) you can really see the difference in build.
Great review of flybird, thanks 👌

Great review !
Can anyone recommend a good budget bench for tall people? Im 6'4"
In a sea of rogue advertisements and Insta posts, nice to see some budget options in the worlds. Although… probably won’t be trading in my 4100 for one these.
Whats your opinion on PowerBlocks?
They're solid and a pretty popular choice for adjustables. Very durable but a little awkward with their shape.
