Coop’s Wife: that bench cost $1500? Coop: I know, it’s ridiculous. Coop’s Wife: I guess you’re sleeping on it for awhile. Coop’s conscience: “oh yeah baby, it has knurled knobs I can pull all day long”
Update6 months and I'm still loving this bench. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxo_64lVTGMk7y4aXTPxPOcQ3YTLyQ6kYV I use it almost daily. I've gotten used to the small wobble and it's no problem at all. Love the storage, it folds right next to my weight set in the garage and hardly takes any space. I wish the covering material was a little bit tougher. I have a feeling that in a couple years it'll tear, but the bench is very well priced that I would just buy a new one.3 month usage review. Awesome bench for someone looking for compactness and storage. I did have to drill a couple holes to adjust my preferred seating position and leg bar position but that's only due to my personal preference. It's very sturdy for normal workouts, but for anyone going above 100# dumbbell press it wobbles ever so slightly. I would probably go with a fixed bench if that's the case. That being said i can accomplish 99% of my normal gym workout with this setup. Very happy with the purchase.
Love this channel. The appreciation of the equipment, the humor the details. The editing. This is just a home gym owners comfy place. Coops channel is just something you wanna leave on all day, ya know?
I've been subscribed for a few months now, and I gotta say it took me awhile to realize how funny Coop is. It's like dad humor that's subtly hilarious.
I think you'd have to be smoking high grade meth to get a $1,500+ shipping bench just for seal rows when you could just get a cambered bar and regular bench for a quarter of the price
An 11 minute review of a $1,600 product I will never ever buy dedicated to an accessory movement I didn't even know existed? Well, if it's a Garage Gym Review I'm GONNA watch it.
@Blaha Sock Account #5638 powerlifters sometimes do snatch deadlift too lol... just because you can’t be good at the oly lifts doesn’t make them silly. There are many people that do them.
@Blaha Sock Account #5638 olympic weightlifting is not the same as crossfit... it’s more of a sport than powerlifting will ever be and there is no cheating in the classic lifts. These lifts train your force production, emphasized by the lifter’s explosiveness. What’s really cheating a lift is arching your back a fuck ton to move the bar two inches on a bench press. Weightlifting also has less injuries than all of the sports out there. If you don’t warm up and have shit technique, of course you get injured. Learn from the best not from the crossfit noobs
I do not care for the overall layout, except that it is adjustable for a 10 degree or more incline. The front support is in the way for a proper pull with dumbells. A full stretch forward and then back squeezing the shoulder blades together for proper lat and rhomboid development is needed. A straight bar will not be as effective, as dumbells.
I agree with you. Multi-purpose equipment is the name of the game in garage gym equipment. This was obviously intended for a regular gym that is not space constrained.
Love the bench....but holy cow....over $1500 for a bench... with shipping costs we are probably in the $1800 neighborhood. Better idea: put your $400 bench on a couple boxes.
these reviews are the crème de la crème. Coop understands the assignment. plus the editing on these videos are on point. keep it up Coop! have a nice day.
Holy crap, how about just building seal row level height adjustability into regular benches, problem solved!!! How is this so hard for manufacturers to wrap their heads around?? Infuriating af... seal row should be a main lift, not a niche one! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I think "garage gym Reviews" has expanded too much to still call it that... should be called "Airplane hanger reviews" who has space for all this specialty crap in their garage... coop: here's my garage gym, my other garage gym, my shed gym, my fitness center, my bouncy house gym, my roof gym, my bathroom gym (sweet toilet squats bro!!)
Already I have an issue with this. For home it's fine. In a gym it won't be long till the uneducated destroy that knob. I bought a Ketler recumbent bike for my physical therapy clinic. My employees were shown how to use it. But patients started turning the knob before they pulled it out. Or set the knob between the adjustment holes. When that didn't work they removed the knob and cross threaded the knob screwing up a $1300 exercise bike. Had it less than 2 months. Looking at this machine why didn't they use the same concept as Tuff Studd looking force guides. You simply pull the knob and skid it till the hook grabs the slot instead of a hole. It's much stronger. It's a nice looking piece of equipment but that's about it. Biden... really That fool. Dude....
For something this expensive that's just a bench, I won't even bother watching the video for. Maybe somebody that likes window shopping stuff they'll never afford, or has deep pockets, but I don't think the average guy will seriously consider buying. If I need a flat bench to do bench rows, I'll elevate it with some blocks. If I need extra hooks or other metal thingies sticking from it, I'll have 'em wielded to it. Both options are way more cheaper and reasonable. The DIY methods worked for the golden era bodybuilders, it will work for you, too. A product like this is to show off how much money you blew.
Stupid gimmick that does nothing that a bench press can't do - stop it ... just another way to re-invent the wheel for more money !!! - $1500 hahahahaha what a J O K E
What a terrible product lol. $1500 and you get cheap thin UHMW cups, a thin pad, plastic end caps, a bench that wobbles, and is too tall/poorly thought out to have any sort of versatility. Eleiko blew it on this one.
I somehow got signed up for Eleiko emails advertising new products about two years ago when I first started building out my garage gym. I literally just started to have those emails sent to the junk folder this morning when I got into work. Scroll to the 10:29 minute mark of the video if you want to know why. And yes, I still watched this entire video for something I don't want and would never buy.
My god. Why???? Two planks of 6" wide 6' long property fitted together side to lay over spotter bars. Blocks on either end to fit in between spotter bars to hold them in place and make pad with plywood, quality dense foam and vinyl covering. Took my 4 hours to make. Totally customed to my needs. Cost £20 and will last my lifetime. I cannot believe anyone would waste their money buying from a manufacturer. When I'm done, it hangs on the wall.
Got mine ( custom made ) for 120€ plus shipping . Works also for flat bench but doesn’t have the bar rest . Absolutely the Best Buy ever. Made in Greece
Even the names of the Rogue and Eleiko shows the contrast between the two Rouge: A dishonest or unprincipaled man, scoundrel Villain, reprobate Eleiko: Electrical Installation Limited company One's a "bad boy" and the other started off making you waffles
I'm just looking for a middle way good construction product that isn't super expensive with knurled knobs, laser-cut labels, etc. and also not a cheap weak Chinese product that will fall apart in a year or two.
Coop’s Wife: that bench cost $1500?
Coop: I know, it’s ridiculous.
Coop’s Wife: I guess you’re sleeping on it for awhile.
Coop’s conscience: “oh yeah baby, it has knurled knobs I can pull all day long”
Coop's Wife: Good thing the pool guy has visible muscles.
I never understood how an adult gets to tell another adult where to sleep.

WHO DOESN'T LIKE KNURLED KNOB
I wish my knob was knurled I'm sure my wife feels the same
Wanna pull my knob?
The grammar made this better
COOP HATES KNURLED KNOB
Everyones knob should be thoroughly knurled.
Love this channel. The appreciation of the equipment, the humor the details. The editing.
This is just a home gym owners comfy place. Coops channel is just something you wanna leave on all day, ya know?
I don’t have 1600$ in my entire setup. That’s insane.

You know what also works? Two beer crates under your standard flat bench.
"Shut up! Shut up!" -- sports equipment companies
I used to use milk crates for a flat bench with a board. Crates are great
I use spare plates
And you get the beer with those crates!
I just stick a 30 yr old stepper under my bench...who in the hell pays for this?
Sees Eleiko name, *automatically knows* "can't afford it" lol
Makes rogue look affordable. 😂
Coop talking about sorinex or rogue: "It's big, beefy, versatile, stable..."
Coop talking about Eleiko: *sensual noises*
You are smoking some good stuff if you buy this.
The rubber caps at the end are meant to be taken of so you could bolt it to the ground. That’s why it’s a hole in the bottom!
Love the videos :)
Coop: Releases a budget-friendly video with 5 items under $100.
Also Coop: So here's a $1500+ adjustable Seal Row bench that I highly recomend.
tbf he said he didn't recommend it lol
For $1500 you can just buy the Elite FTS Leg Curl/Leg Ext Signature Combo and perform seal rows on it as well.
With the added benefit of being able to lock your legs in place.
Holy crap I didn’t know this piece of equipment existed. Wow. Thank you so damn much, I will be saving for it.
Do you own it?
But...but... it won’t say Eleiko 😂
Yes I do and it’s awesome! I have a video of it on my Instagram @fitnessfusion247
Or build out two wood boxes to size and use a flat bench.
Please do a gym update on anything. Wonder what the shed is looking like...
I was wondering the same
Its coming!!!
I mean instead of getting this. I guess you could just get, I don't know. Maybe an entire Rogue rack. 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂
I was gonna guess $1200, and boy was I wrong. More affordable gear please. A whole rack costs less than this bench.
I do these rows in my power rack. I built an easy bench that anchors onto my safety bars. Very easy to make and takes 5 minutes
If they can make it ideal for bench height and fat pad for benching super heavy (Around 205 lbs), I am in for this bench for my Garage Gym.
I think you'd have to be smoking high grade meth to get a $1,500+ shipping bench just for seal rows when you could just get a cambered bar and regular bench for a quarter of the price
No thanks. One from Titan does the job well.
To limiting in its use to justify the purchase.
Can somebody knurl Coop's knob already?
An 11 minute review of a $1,600 product I will never ever buy dedicated to an accessory movement I didn't even know existed? Well, if it's a Garage Gym Review I'm GONNA watch it.
Every gym equipment review: I'm worried about the lack of UHMW plastic here
@Xxx_sk1llSh0tzz_Zzz or just beef up the plastic anywhere the bar will be touching / resting on the equipment, seems so cheap and easy
@Xxx_sk1llSh0tzz_Zzz barbells are made for weightlifting, the knurl on the outside is standard for snatching. Racking the bar is secondary
@Blaha Sock Account #5638 powerlifters sometimes do snatch deadlift too lol... just because you can’t be good at the oly lifts doesn’t make them silly. There are many people that do them.

I agree with you. Multi-purpose equipment is the name of the game in garage gym equipment. This was obviously intended for a regular gym that is not space constrained.
*I took a utility bench I already owned and put each end up on a $1 cinder block. Works perfect for seal rows.*
LOL only a sucker would fork out 1600 bux for something like that! My seal row ghetto set up cost over 10 x less and does the exact same thing 🤣
It's cool you reviewed this, but gosh 99.9% of your viewers are not going to buy this. Hopefully they sent it to you for free.
He’s had it in his personal training gym for awhile.
As a European... Screw technogym...
Nice video
That looks badass, does it give you a different pump?
Love the bench....but holy cow....over $1500 for a bench... with shipping costs we are probably in the $1800 neighborhood.
Better idea: put your $400 bench on a couple boxes.
On a dollar-level investment, four cinder-blocks are the best investments I've ever made.
Great Video! What about Eleiko Classic Adjustable Bench?
Great channel! Not worth 1565.00. One of the best things that Eleiko makes is there galvanized squat rack, wish Rogue would make one.
Are you gonna review the open collars?
What's the fattest bumper plate to get for helping to cheat with a deadlift bar?
Hi Temps?
@@bmstylee what's a hi temps?
@@FitnessNews24 High Temps are bumper plates. Probably the widest ones I know of.
@@bmstylee thanks man I'll check em out!
these reviews are the crème de la crème. Coop understands the assignment. plus the editing on these videos are on point. keep it up Coop! have a nice day.
Europe is over 100 countries all with different styles.
Please review the Rogue Donkey, maybe compare to Bells of Steel model or Titan?

1500 for a vinyl THIN as hell padded bench? Why anyone buys Apple.... I mean Elieko is beyond me.
Clicking the item link and discovering the price almost made me want to stop watching any further. Almost.
Excellent, objective, unbiased review but definitely not worth the price tag. Thanks Coop.
I want one, but I'm not willing to pay for one.
(I've used one in the past, it's nice).
Not buying the bench but now have an idea to make my own, thanks Coop da doop makin em all wanna shoop
Just make sure it’s sturdy, homemade weight stuff always sounds sketchy lol

I love that sketch life, its always thrilling when your going for gainz but some danger is involved lol

Totally unnecessary, way too expensive, show off, waste of steel, piece of fitness equipment.
Rogue AB-2 is 1155 USD with tax in Europe.
Lotta talmbout knobs and shafts there Coop... 🤣😆
This should run $500 tops. $1500 is highway robbery.
Maybe this what Alan Thrall has. He said it’s European made.
Why not just put a regular (much cheaper) bench up on wooden blocks?
If you pull the knob the shaft goes up.
Hard to like seal row benches without a cambered bar. You just don’t get the range of motion without it.
My god. Why???? Two planks of 6" wide 6' long property fitted together side to lay over spotter bars. Blocks on either end to fit in between spotter bars to hold them in place and make pad with plywood, quality dense foam and vinyl covering. Took my 4 hours to make. Totally customed to my needs.

I want thier weightlifting platform. But it like 3500
You just voided the warranty using that kabuki bar.
Are you showing JOEY Vees
DINOSAUR ? ? ?
Strenghshop seal row is much cheaper and better
Nice bench if only it had some type of foot peg to allow it to double for a flat bench... "Cool equipment you can watch online"👍
This bench is presently on sale from Eleiko for under $1k
I would rather pay $1200 for the rogue one then get the eleiko one for 50% off.
Spend your money elsewhere Folks. Waste of $$$
Titan do your thing. Come on, this design is simple and basic.
I would think this dude would be bigger from all the lifting
eleiko could sell a fork for 200 bucks just because its eleiko...
What is the width of the bench at the head? Will the Titan seal row bench bar notch fit?
You said it ‘ a lot of space for basically one movement’
Got mine ( custom made ) for 120€ plus shipping . Works also for flat bench but doesn’t have the bar rest . Absolutely the Best Buy ever. Made in Greece
some 3x3 steel tube isnt expensive nor is a qualified welder
Can you use eleiko safety spotter arms & accessories on a rogue rack?
Coop should get his knob knurled for the Mrs.
he coop can you review some panetta equipment please
Shafts.
Nobs..
What am I watching 😂
1500?!?!?? The fuck outta here lmao
Looks like you can use for bech press.
Finally, been waiting for this review for a year! 🙃
You must be out of your freaking mind.
Dude, Coop. No one is getting this thing....
I wish my disco stick was knurled
I just set a bench on top bumper plates lmao
Send pics to Titan…I’ll wait for the $199 knock off…with free shipping.
Yeah, but Titan doesn’t always send you all the pieces. You get what you pay for.
Knurl on my knob, like corn on the cob!
Pls do forceusa g20 review
Even the names of the Rogue and Eleiko shows the contrast between the two
Rouge: A dishonest or unprincipaled man, scoundrel Villain, reprobate
Eleiko: Electrical Installation Limited company
One's a "bad boy" and the other started off making you waffles
For $1500, you can buy a very nice home gym. Like a complete one from Powertec or Bowflex.
@8:27 What about putting the plates on the floor to rest your feet on top of so that you’re at the right height?
Nevermind. You just mentioned the plates
thanks for posting ... great channel
Coops dinner utensils have knurling
Titan Fitness, you know what to do.
A cheaper, always available, stronger solution: use your lower back, it is there for exactly this purpose.
Yea by doing the good old pendlay row with a free lower back workout too!
While I love Pendlay rows, it is useful limiting axial loading sometimes especially if you’re already doing a lot of deadlifts/ deadlift variations
wish I had a knurled knob
$1500. That’s insane!
A Sorinex Bulldog allows chest-supported rowing. More convenient. Much less expensive. You previously reviewed the Sorinex Bulldog.
