REP Fitness AB-3000 2.0 review

A bench is the piece most compact home gyms forget, yet it doubles the number of exercises you can do with dumbbells or a barbell. REP's AB-3000 2.0 is a flat, incline and decline bench, so it handles flat and incline presses, seated shoulder work, supported rows and decline sit-ups. The back pad has eight positions from -12 to 85 degrees and the seat has five angles, and the built-in leg rollers lock into six positions for decline work, then slide back for clearance. REP rates it for 1,000 lbs on 11-gauge steel. The bench measures 56.6 by 25.8 inches with a 9.85 square foot footprint, which stands on end against a wall in many homes. It weighs 89.3 lbs, which feels solid but is a chore up stairs, and the 2.1 inch gap between pads is something some lifters dislike on flat presses. At $349.99 with free shipping, it is the cheapest item on our list and a strong partner for the SelectTech 552.
