REP FITNESS FB-4000 Competition Flat Bench for Weightlifting, Bench Press, Home and Garage Gyms, 700 lb Rated

Love the bench and don't have lifting related issues with it. The wheels are placed in such a way that you have to lift the bench extremely high in order to engage the wheels. That's my only complaint.

I did a ton of research on flat benches on amazon – here is why I chose this one.1) 3 post flat bench. The reason why is because all the wider front posts on most other benches get in the way of your feet for positioning yourself for benching. This is the only 3x3” 3 post bench.2) Wheels – easy to maneuver around when I want to use my power rack for squatting or pull-ups for myself or my GF.3) Handle – makes it easier to move it around.4) Bench height – under 17.75 inches – this is standard benching height and ensures your feet can easily touch the ground.5) Solid weight rating – I didn’t want some flimsy 22lb bench that doesn’t even support a real weight rating – safety factor and peace of mind.6) Reputable brand – REP is known for having some solid benches, and I’ve been happy with my other Rep Fitness gear so I knew I could trust them.I have the bench set up and wanted to list the pros and cons:1) Construction – feels solid, very solid actually. The vinyl material has some grip to it which makes it so I’m not sliding around when benching… awesome!2) Wheels/handle/easy to maneuver – a big plus here.3) Easy to assemble. All I had to assemble was the pad, back piece, and wheels. Took me like 15 mins.4) Pad is thick and comfortable. I can see it lasting a long time, especially for my home gym.Cons: - only one. The packaging wasn’t great when it arrived. However, all the pieces are in good conditioning, so not a big deal. Overall, I’m super happy I did the research and got this bench!

Love this bench. Solid and stable yet easy to move by tipping it up and rolling on wheels.

If you have a home gym then THIS is the bench to get. VERY solid and sturdy. I have a small power cage and a few weights in my basement - along with a lot of the family's other junk! Having this bench means I can store it upright when not in use (Squats, Dead lifts inside the cage) and then easily wheel it into the cage for Bench Presses. Both the handle and the front end wheels make it fast and easy to move around. It stores upended against the wall with no balance issues. The surface is just right grip-ness for getting that shoulder pinch up into position for Presses. And, it was a $$ deal. I had an old cheap bench that had all kinds of wiggle wobble - no more! Solid as a rock. And having the foot end free of attachments means no probs getting my feet planted for support when pressing. Highly recommended!!

For reference I am an 83kg power lifter with a 555 kg total. I bought this strictly for benching in my rack.This bench was shipped as promised and arrived in great condition. The packaging was more than adequate and no parts were damaged. The bench is well machined and the hardware is pretty decent. I assembled it in about 10 minutes with no issues. It has a nice finish and seems like it will be durable.The bench is exactly what I wanted and there are no surprises. It is a little tippy on the post side when I sit on it and would possibly have issues for supplemental exercises. When benching your weight goes over the long bar at the top and it is rock solid.Bottom line: If you want a flat bench for a competition bench press this one is great quality at a great price. Even if you don’t need the single post to pull your feet in tight its still awesome for benching - Super wide and grippy.

Fast shipping, good packaging, and no damage!Solid construction with good welds and true powder coating. Plywood backing for the pad goes full length. Pad, backbone and support post for wheels are symmetrical so assembly is easy! Hardware is well organized and instructions are easy. Only tested it out a little bit but it’s the best bench I’ve ever owned and on par with professional equipment. Very happy!I shopped around for a FID adjustable bench and had trouble finding a good one. I was skeptical of most of the ones available and the reviews that people posted. I ended up paying a little more for this flat bench and there’s no way any of those other adjustable ones could match this quality.

I bench around 405lbs raw. I wanted something more stable than my Titan adjustable bench. This is rock solid! Some people mentioned the single leg in the front being nice for feet placement, but allowing a little wobble. I have zero wobble. My shoulder blades stick into this pad, which is very nice! I also love that the frame atraches to the pad in a very secure way so there's no wobble of the pad from left to right. Also, the frame is like three by three (compare to my 3 x3" rack in photo). That means the rubber feet that cover the 3 x 3 frame at the three contact points have substantial contact area with the ground. I couldn't be happier.

This is a awesome bench for our smaller space and the pulleysystem in our cage. I've seen reviews stating it's not sturdy, but unless you're benching over 400lbs, you won't have any problems. I ordered two other highly rated adjustable benches and sent them back before settling on this one. I am glad I did and now i am officially married to the 'REP' brand name...haha. Just great equipment. The handle and wheels are perfectly placed so my wife can easily move it out of her way to do squats. Just buy it and you won't be disappointed!!
