REP FB-5000

As opposed to, let's say, the Rogue Thompson Fat Pad, which retails for $155, I think this one is a no-brainer, especially if you want to get into it ...

So yeah, great bench. Again, if you're looking at getting a really nice, high quality flat bench, this is a great one to get.

Finally, would I recommend you purchase the Repf FB5000 for $209.99?

Well that's a wrap for today's review over the FB 5000.

If you want a grippy pad on your adjustable bench, you'll have to look somewhere else. Swing and a miss, for Rogue. That said, as far as flat benches, I've owned the REP FB-5000 and personally, didn't think it was great. The pad grip is alright, but it wears down quickly and the pad began to warp and become misshapen after a few months of light use (I only use the bench for barbell press).
