I missed the updated j-cups at the show. Just ordered a PR-5000 w Ares in clear coat 🤤 Interested in the new benches, bars, and bumper plates (pinnacle or animal) Edit: new leg attachments for the benches may very well bump me from AB-3000 to Blackwing 💸💸
Gluck, I can totally feel your excitement being in the REP area haha like a kid in Disney’s store haha Looking forward to see REP new dumbbell/kettlebell storage system and the colour options they offer - and oh yes the price. So hopefully they will put on their website soon
Thank you! Would love to do more content like this but something about someone working a full time job and taking care of a family seems to get in the way 😂
It might've been a few minutes but he's consciously there. You can't see it because of a B roll but he definitely walks into the shot because we're filming.
Seeing you and your wife together nerding out on equipment is awesome. I think more of these videos would be good. Makes me feel like I know you guys more. You should do less scripted videos and more just talking things out and laughing with your wife about equipment. Interactions with husband and wife are usually good for some laughs.
We'd love to do more videos like this but it's not often we both have the free time to do so. Wynie works full time and we're taking care of our boys the rest of the time so syncing things up is very difficult. Reviews are harder than this 1 take stuff because gym equipment costs a lot of money and we want to be thorough so it has to be more planned out
REP is an awesome company. Really look forward to their 2023 releases. Wish I had more REP equipment. But Gluck I think your bench collection can be a bench show room. Haha.
Hey Gluck, I just thought to ask (I probably should have asked when I pre-ordered the bench) Did the blackwing seem more stable than REPs older benches?
They widened the back leg and tweaked the hinge. My AB-5000 was already very stable but this should be a little moreso. Unless you mean vs the older 5200?
Very curious on the Hades bar. Seems like roughly 92-94 inches assuming the squat bar is the typical 95". Wondering if this thing will be more on the Kabuki end or Rouge style.
Hahaha. @8:20. Love the “upgrade” to Rogue comment. Seriously though, if REP keeps going like they are and their American-made product take-off, Rogue will have even more pressure from this American owned company.
Although I do not own any REP equipment, I am a huge fan-boy of this company. A 6 post with the Ares attachment is in my future. My gym membership runs out in Sep, so my plan is to have a fully equipped REP power rack delivered late summer. Super excited about the prospect of having a home gym in my 3rd stall of my garage. Thanks for all the awesome coverage at the Arnold. V/R Shane
How tall is wynnie? And what are her thoughts on how heavy that blackwing is? As a lady only 5'4" I'm between that and the 4100 but everyone complains how heavy the bigger benched are. Not all of us at 6' + dudes! Would like to know her recommendation out of all the rep benches.
The 4100 is my favorite and the others are very heavy especially if they don't have a front handle like they just added to the Blackwing (which is still pretty heavy). ~Wynie P. S. She says 5'6" but I measured her and she's just under 5' 5.5" 😂
As Rep continues to grow and take Market share I hope they don’t try to grow too quickly or change their business model. I feel some of the new products like plates and rack storage they are coming out with aren’t really huge upgrades on things in the market that will drive sales. While some may love the Made in US equipment, I enjoy Rep products because of the quality for the price compared to a Rogue or Eleiko. Thanks for the video! Not too excited for any of the products honestly although I do like some of the barbells. The benches seem to be small tweaks but nothing that would make me want to upgrade my current 5200 and Utility bench.
@@GlucksGym it’s funny man. These guys must have access to my google search history. I’ve been doing some research on a couple of utility bunches for seal rows lol
Looks like a lot of fun! I would love to go poking around at these different home gym equipment displays-- REP especially. I think you're right, REP is primed for another big year.
for the seal rows on the utility pad - how is the bar supposed to be picked up off the floor? by setting the exact height to reach it so that it bangs both the floor And the bench on each rep?
REP is the Best company, IMO Highest Quality with reasonable prices. If U bought $5,000 of all REP Equipment and then bought the exact same items from Rogue, it would cost U around $6,800-$7,500
Yep! They should have a 60" upright option for them (so you can build it outside your rack/standalone). 41" and 70" length options for the flat/flippable shelf and the plate storing version as well.
It's a Cerakote so it's thinner than a powder coat but any coating will fill in the knurling some. It felt pretty aggressive since it was a mountain style knurl but we keep saying we need another deadlift bar so I think we'll probably buy one to really find out 😃
Awesome walkthrough. The utility seat looks great and I'll be getting that. The blackwing also looks awesome but not sure I can justify replacing my ab-3.
I sold my AB-5000 and AB-5200 in anticipation for the Blackwing in Red! Did not know we could change the rails to black. Calling Rep on Monday to add detail. Thanks!
@@GlucksGym Ok thanks for the update. I placed a preorder for a red Blackwing. I trust you. So if you say it an upgrade over the AB-5000, I am super excited. Gonna be a rough 2 month wait though.
I want the blackwing really bad. I like my ab-5000 but i hate the lack of incline adjustments, the handle, and the 90 degree top adjustement. The other thing im not fond of is the large size of the seat on the ab5000, seems like they kept that the same
I agree with all comments except the seat. I love the wide seat pad. Much better than the cheap, narrow seats on other benches which will give you a wedgie. Though I do wish Rep gave the Blackwing a longer back pad like the 5200 has. Then it would be perfect.
Which piece of equipment are you most excited for? Let us know so we know what to review!
I missed the updated j-cups at the show. Just ordered a PR-5000 w Ares in clear coat 🤤
Interested in the new benches, bars, and bumper plates (pinnacle or animal)
Edit: new leg attachments for the benches may very well bump me from AB-3000 to Blackwing 💸💸
Definitely the black wing!
Just got the new safety straps in on my 5000/ares rack, HUGE upgrade over the rogue straps I was using!
I want that Blackwing!
the new/updated bench
Gluck, I can totally feel your excitement being in the REP area haha like a kid in Disney’s store haha Looking forward to see REP new dumbbell/kettlebell storage system and the colour options they offer - and oh yes the price. So hopefully they will put on their website soon
I like that desk they made and the TV mount. Kind of cool to see creative ways to build things out. Maybe my rack needs a facelift 😂
Great run down of REP’s offerings and upcoming products! I’m impressed at the casual conversation. No scripts passed out! Nice job, all three of you!
You both are so much fun on camera together! Looking forward to finally getting my hands on the rack seat and seal row pad.
Thank you! Would love to do more content like this but something about someone working a full time job and taking care of a family seems to get in the way 😂
Live in an apartment, have no room for a home gym, still been waiting for this for days.
It's a pretty big compliment that you're watching!
Rent a second unit, turn that into a Home Gym 😉
@@avinashtyagi2 Toronto housing market says, "LOL better sell some drugs."
Almost makes me regret buying my Ab-4100. So many fun options!
As I can attest, there's always another bench 😂
That kid subconsciously refusing to leave frame for a solid minute had me in stitches. 🤣
It might've been a few minutes but he's consciously there. You can't see it because of a B roll but he definitely walks into the shot because we're filming.
Ah. Well sorry, you had to deal with that then. Yeah, now that I watch this again, he definitely looks right at the camera.
Nah it ended up being pretty funny
@@GlucksGym I guarantee you he started going to the gym after this😂😂😂😂

That black wing bench looks incredible. Rep is making serious moves
When I first saw the web listing I wasn't sure but after seeing it in person 😍
REP is an awesome company. Really look forward to their 2023 releases. Wish I had more REP equipment.
But Gluck I think your bench collection can be a bench show room. Haha.
I am coming to the point where I might need to get rid of some benches soon 😂😭
Ready for those equalizer USA plates
Hey Gluck, I just thought to ask (I probably should have asked when I pre-ordered the bench) Did the blackwing seem more stable than REPs older benches?
They widened the back leg and tweaked the hinge. My AB-5000 was already very stable but this should be a little moreso. Unless you mean vs the older 5200?

Fanboying here. I take that TV mount, a cpl new bars and the BlackWing please.
I'm with you on those purchases 😂
Nice work, Glucks! I like the bench segment the most.
Those calibrated weight plates look awesome, do you know if REP plans to release those?
shame they are not making these products in the USA for American workers!
Too bad we will never receive any of it with 4 month shipping delays. Rep is slipping big time.
Hahaha. @8:20. Love the “upgrade” to Rogue comment. Seriously though, if REP keeps going like they are and their American-made product take-off, Rogue will have even more pressure from this American owned company.
Agreed. They're really on a hot streak and don't seem to be slowing down

Sounds like you'll have a heck of a set up very early on!
5 seconds into the video. DONT CURL IN ME tee. I already love it
I have a feeling that tee might be in the entire video 😍
Those end caps look amazing
I agree my ohio bar is black zinc the black wore off quick looks like crap now

@@GlucksGym thank you! I appreciate the response!! I'm always worried about benches being too tall
Very cool video! Looked like a great event!
Do you know what plates are on the bottom left of the plates wall?
Give that 'Kid' a job!
The fact that I’m a native Texan with a Texas Power Bar, who now lives in Colorado……. Do I have to add a Colorado bar to match?? Haha
I'm pretty sure your logic checks out

Currently salivating over the utility bench and quick release cushion. Omg I need it 😮
That might be the only thing I need from them but I'll still get half the other stuff 😏
@@GlucksGym it’s funny man. These guys must have access to my google search history. I’ve been doing some research on a couple of utility bunches for seal rows lol
Dude scored with his wife god damn
Looks like a lot of fun! I would love to go poking around at these different home gym equipment displays-- REP especially. I think you're right, REP is primed for another big year.
It was a lot of fun but a lot of work and stress trying to film 😂😢
for the seal rows on the utility pad - how is the bar supposed to be picked up off the floor? by setting the exact height to reach it so that it bangs both the floor And the bench on each rep?
Wish the specialty bars were coming out with non-cerakote options. Otherwise all seems like fantastic stuff in REP’s future.
Not sponsored? Missed opportunity ;)
The kid looking at the🍑 lol 😅💯
I also hated the old straps they were super loose I might buy the new ones
6:53......i mean, who would not😅
Those endcaps are hawt.
What you don't like stickers 🤪
Lmao. The kid eyeballing Wynie with the graphic at 06:52
REP is the Best company, IMO
Highest Quality with reasonable prices.
If U bought $5,000 of all REP Equipment and then bought the exact same items from Rogue, it would cost U around $6,800-$7,500
Definitely a better value with Rep though Rogue does make some incredibly well made equipment.
REP is producing some great solid benches and equipment.
Great Video introduction 👍
Yeah, I have the old straps, my one regret with Rep.
The 4100 bench would be ideal for me,...except my old rickety bench has a cheap leg extension and leg curl attachment. So, I stick with it.
I have a feeling soon we'll have quite a few bench options w/leg ext and curl attachments.
Is there any more information on the in rack dumbbell/kettlebell storage? Like different length options? 41”? 72”?
Yep! They should have a 60" upright option for them (so you can build it outside your rack/standalone). 41" and 70" length options for the flat/flippable shelf and the plate storing version as well.
Great stuff! Thank you for awesome content!!
I found it increasingly challenging to focus on the equipment as I was trying to guess what colour leggings Winnie would be wearing next
I found this comment highly entertaining 😂
💯💪
So how did the knurl on the deadlift bar feel? He says its very aggressive but with the powder coat I don't know if I can believe it
It's a Cerakote so it's thinner than a powder coat but any coating will fill in the knurling some. It felt pretty aggressive since it was a mountain style knurl but we keep saying we need another deadlift bar so I think we'll probably buy one to really find out 😃
That’s nice
Jesus I want the utility seat I would love that for doing leg press, sitting dumbbells, etc. I saw that teased end of last year
Been waiting on that one awhile 👀
@@GlucksGym Same it looks done idk what the hold up is
Awesome walkthrough. The utility seat looks great and I'll be getting that. The blackwing also looks awesome but not sure I can justify replacing my ab-3.
Thank you! You can live vicariously through us if you're not able to swing the bench purchase, you know I'll get it 😂
11:43 Didn’t see the Aries, thought he was going to try to perform a crane kick🥋
Wish he had, would've gotten us a few more views 😂
I sold my AB-5000 and AB-5200 in anticipation for the Blackwing in Red! Did not know we could change the rails to black. Calling Rep on Monday to add detail. Thanks!
They only allow the rail color swap on the 5200 2.0. I may have said the wrong bench at one point but the BlackWing is all one color.
@@GlucksGym
Ok thanks for the update. I placed a preorder for a red Blackwing. I trust you. So if you say it an upgrade over the AB-5000, I am super excited. Gonna be a rough 2 month wait though.
REP>Rogue at this point.
They do seem to be winning the fight atm. It's nice to see Rogue step out up a little lately but Rep is at a full out sprint
I want the blackwing really bad. I like my ab-5000 but i hate the lack of incline adjustments, the handle, and the 90 degree top adjustement. The other thing im not fond of is the large size of the seat on the ab5000, seems like they kept that the same
I didn't notice the seat but we've got some extra cake around here so it hasn't been an issue 😂 I agree with the other notes though.
I agree with all comments except the seat. I love the wide seat pad. Much better than the cheap, narrow seats on other benches which will give you a wedgie. Though I do wish Rep gave the Blackwing a longer back pad like the 5200 has. Then it would be perfect.
I just want to know what the deadlift bar will cost and when it will be available.
That's what I want to know too 😂

Will they extend shipping international to Europe in 2023 ?
They are supposed to
I'm liking that army green
GREAT JOB FOLKS !
Love this channel and loving this brand. Great job guys
Add a nice preacher curl attachment to the bat wing and I'm sold
I'll always side with more curl attachments 😆
Never seen any preacher curl attachment for a bench worth 15 cents.
About time
YEAH
6:50 Caught em looking! Love the funny edit there haha
Wynie made me add that 😂
We want REP in europe too.
Supposed to happen in 2023
