I bought this bench largely based on this review. The bench got in last week and it is fantastic. I am so excited about the upgrade. Titan did a great job here
Titan's R&D team: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V
That’s funny
Bold of you to assume they have an R&D team!
😂🎉
Same thing evolve ai did with juggernaut
It’s honestly better than Rogues, which seems roughly to be get sponsored athletes design equipment for themselves and spend no time testing with their actual consumers. Then when it turns out the product doesn’t work for their actual consumers, immediately release an update (20% of the time) that pisses off early adopters or do absolutely nothing for 3 years or more until a new product kinda maybe sorta tries to address the flaws of the first.
I think reps marketing of their r&d is better than their actual r&d which is mostly just listening to their actual customers and the reviewers that represent them. While they’re awesome at this, Titan does the same and is catching up.
I bought this bench based on this review. I just so happened to be in the market for an adjustable bench, and this did help sway my decision. Great observations, Coop. 10/10 Review.
How you liking it so far?
I like the review and that Titan is looking to compete against the big boys with better quality equipment. I will say that if it wasn’t for this channel a lot of fitness manufacturers would NOT even bother to step up their game. Keep the pressure on them with your honest REVIEWS.🎉🎉🎉
Can we see a review of the griffin adjustable bench 2.0? I'd think it would be in the same category as this and the Rogue adjustable 3.0 and REP ab5200 2.0.
Thanks Coop. Love your reviews as they are very complete and cover every facet. I don’t need an adjustable bench right now but this sure has me tempted 👍
I bought the Titan adjustable FID bench mainly because I wanted to do decline sit ups and it’s honestly amazing! I’m happy with my Titan purchase
You should review the griffin adjustable bench. It competing with these benches imo.
Looks like the same thing as the rep ab 3000 2. Same exact price, so I'm guessing if not rebadge it was made to compete with that.
Gotta love titan upping their game. More competition = more value for us! I actually just got the titan series barbell (made in USA) and it seems pretty decent as well for the value.
What happened to the "feel weight" of lifting the bench by the handle with a luggage scale?
I am blown away at how well made that looks and it’s a sexy bench. Love it
Thank you ,BUYING THIS BENCH ASAP!!
I love it! Less to assemble & free shipping! Looks super stable! And the price!
Another great review, Coop! I see you using the Nike barbell and bumpers. Can't wait for those reviews.
Wondering if you would recommend this over the Rep AB-4100 since that bench is $400 and this is $450
It’s $410 if you give them a new email address.
I’ve been waiting for a Black Friday 4100 sale and went with this for $10 more instead. Very comparable benches in feel/specs but this one obviously looks and feels more premium and way more stable
Titan stepping up their game. Looks like an awesome bench.
It's pretty good, but that hinge would annoy the crap out of me sitting on it/hitting my hip/butt on it every day in flat position. No thanks. Worth paying the extra $100 for Rep's benches that are way better and proven for years.
@@JonHanner-un7ef
You’re meant to bench fully on the back pad as is referenced 3+ times in this video.
Reps 5200 is less stable (Coop mentions this), half and inch taller (17.5”) and less comfortable (the pad thickness is 1/2 inch less)
Titans is the clear winner for less money.
He’s not going to come out and say that with Rogue and Rep being 80% of the reason he has a multi million dollar review business and they both send him all this for free.
@@melkorbane Either way, I'd just wait for people to buy it and actually review it.
It's like when titan released their 'made in usa safety squat bar'. Hyped it up a bunch but it was crap. They do that a lot with their first version releases. In the end, these reviews are only worth so much. I wouldn't be the first in line to buy a titan bench knowing all their other adjustable benches are pretty awful.
@@JonHanner-un7ef Bought it. Used it. The hinge is a complete non issue. If you have even minimal arch you won't feel it. Even with no arch it's not uncomfortable with 200 lbs on the bar.
Not even sure what the reviewers are talking about. I'm not convinced they actually really tried benching on this thing.
It's also way higher build quality than my Rep FB 5000, and the vinyl is noticeably better. I already miss the extra cushion on the 5000 but I'm still going to sell it. My hope was I could replace 2 benches with one and this is 10x better than my ironmaster for adjustable benching and 90% as good as my FB 5000 for flat benching - and better for almost every other workout I'd do with a bench for both of them because of how much more stable it is.
Definite win for me.
Coop you should review the Rep Fitness straight handle dumbbells or the Giant Lifting ones. Also more selectorized machines!
one other thing to note is REP has a several color options on their version. Not a big deal, but worth noting for those who are interested.
I am starting my home gym from scratch. What bench would you go with if you were me? Rep 4100 or this?
Appreciate the video! Does the texture on the logo on the pad change with it being embossed like that?
Coop would love to see review on reps wall mounted Athena if you can get your hands on it
Coop, can you please do a review and comparison of the Keppi Bench5000?
I'm not seeing why someone would go with any other more expensive bench right now (besides maybe the Iron Master for the versatility) since the Keppi is consistently on sale for around $300 and includes decline with leg holders, zero gap technology, and comparable sturdiness/weight capacity.
I guess the Keppi bench is more than 17" high off the ground so maybe that's the main downside but otherwise I'm not seeing much else so I would love to get a detailed analysis of it to find out what makes other benches from big names worth spending $150+ more.
Good video. This bench or the REP Fitness AB4100?
Great review! Great bench! Too late for me, I bought the Rep AB 5000, which I like, but don't love because it's too high at 17.5". I wish some of these AB all in one benches would come in a shorty version. Really short. So I can comfortably use it as a flat bench and use my legs for stability.
Cool awesome review BUT wish you commented more and showed the welding work and how it compares to Rogue and Rep as it’s all over.
I bought this today because of this review
Thanks for the great review! I was interested all the way until there was no decline option. I only have room for one bench and need it to check as many boxes as possible. For declines is the front foot sturdy enough that I could just block it up?
REVIEW THE TITAN SERIES FID BENCH NEXT PLEASE!!!
Good work to Titan with this one. Welded too.. ^^
Looking like we may have a new contender in the making.
Titan with their last 2 releases, this bench and the new squatmax have upped their game. They seem to be going after REP's customers and I'm glad to see it but my ecosystem is REP so I'll stay with REP but they just stole a lot of sales from REP.
I dont think Titan will ever get Rogue's customers because Rogue is just too expensive for Titan to mess with but this is good for all home gym customers now that Titan has a legit sit at the big boy table.
Nice going Titan, you hit a homerun, now keep it up!!!!!
Very interesting - love the review.... you mentioned they want 3 options, so you thinking that means a bench similar to the Rep AB-4100 ? The AB4100 was gonna be my holiday purchase this year but loving this Titan series build and would wait if more to come...
I was thinking the same thing. If they have a match for the 4100 at, say, $50 to $75 cheaper, might be hard to pass up.
I am still happy I went with the rep blackwing. While it's not made in the us, rep at least does most of their own r&d.
Lol. The mindfu** rep has accomplished to convince people like you that you’re buying from anything more than Titan + product managers is impressive.
You’re buying from a company that ripped and slightly refined other peoples ideas and moved the manufacturing to China to sell it cheaper than the original.
This bench is doing exactly what rep did with the 5200. They’re both stealing from the same source but Titan actually refined more and dropped the height to actual comp spec and added some thickness to the pad to make it more comfortable for heavy flat bench.
@@melkorbaneso what do you recommend?
@@AnontheGOATthis. I bought it day one and am quite happy.
My only complaint is the same as some other reviews have pointed out-the wheels don’t sit quite far enough out so it’s easy to lift it too high when wheeling and ground it out - making it slightly more annoying to move than it already is by being so heavy. I still do it almost every session though.
It has successfully replaced my Ironmaster + rep fb5000 by being a way better adjustable bench than Ironmasters and about 85% as good as the rep even though it’s not a dedicated flat bench. Cleared some room for my Nordic/ghd/back extension from Freak which I also love.
@@melkorbane appreciate the feedback. I’m leaning towards the REP black wing. Specifically cause it has no gap plus wide pad option. Plus the built in decline is an added bonus.
@@AnontheGOAT
Black wing is probably a better bench but it’s significantly more money.
I bought a wide pad for my fb 5000 and gave it away. Unless you’re huge or using it for nordics it’s not worth it. It gets in the way of my bench because my grip is on the narrow end and I can’t get full rom .
I also think decline is highly overrated. If you’re not already doing it you’re probably not going to start.
I’m sure you’ll be very happy with it-but those are my thoughts and why I didn’t go black wing.
That thing looks awesome 🏋♂️🏋♀️🏋
Just so you know the rogue adjustable bench 3.0 comes with that V bracket welded together now so it’s not as apart as you say.
Can you do a video review of the Titan Dual Hyperextension? Your article review was helpful but I'm still not sure what to make of it. Looks like it could be similar in function to the new Freak Athlete Nordic Hyperextension, but it's been around for a while now and I don't see as much online about it.
first let me say,, i enjoy watching your reviews,, with that said im looking to purchase a FID bench,, my question do you think the additional $200 is worth the differences between the titian series and the titian elite ,, currently $289 vs $470 with sales on now,, thanks
My old school Body Masters adjustable bench has that same annoying bushing but it just takes learning how to adjust your aim for the rollback. Haven’t had issues after that first week. I wish these brands would bring back the tube design though…can’t make the switch to ladder
Rep is still has the best benches.
@@Pler1978Blackwing passed them awhile ago
Would love to see an attachment roundup. With the popularity of the ares and cable systems, there's a huge increase in attachment use lately. I'd specifically like to see a comparison of maximum advantage grips vs the knock offs
Wack
i noticed you used the pepin fast series dumbbells in the video, how have they held up?
Need link for shirt. Can’t find it on their site!
Can you do a review of the griffin adjustable bench
hi coop can you make reviews on Battle Ropes
I like the decline option and my choice would be Rep, but the titan bench has come a long way, just saying, great video! I saw you use both adjustable dumbbells, which is your favorite, Peppin or Trulap? Be honest coop!
Can you review the prime prodigy HLP selectorized rack?
Will you be reviewing any Griffin equipment? Only thing I see from you is their old rack but that's outdated.
Any news on a control c / control v Ares from Titan. For us folks stuck with 90” rack but want to get more space in our home gym.
Can you do a review on the GripZilla Tornado?
Would you pick titan fitness bench over rep 4100 adjustable bench? I have the rep 3000 2.0 looking for a better one.
I will shop America only these days! Looks nce though
Can you sit backwards on the bench to flat bench dumbells or will it be tipsy?
I bought thanks to your review! Either this or REP 5200 v1, but Titan had a 20% holiday coupon and got this bench for $387 + free shipping! Only downside is it's back ordered until February 1st, but I hope it's worth the wait!
i got it for 140 usd hhehehe
Can you review the new fid bench Griffin is releasing?
I was looking at this bench compared to the elite series FID bench. Elite series does decline also. Do you have a review on the elite series bench?
Once Titan heard Coop say it was a good value they had a meeting talking about raising the price 😅
lol nah man. Premium products without the premium price - that's our motto and we're sticking to it.
Bass pro shop hats add an extra 10lbs to your max deadlift.
A Cabela's hat was with 50lbs until Bass Pro ruined them.
This reminds of the The Giant F85
Way to go Titan. Competition is good for the consumers. Keep up the good work
Coop! I have some coupons that would take this bench and the Rep AB-4100 within $10 of each Luther. Which would you recommend?
What about the ironmaster? How does it compare?
Looks like a badass bench! Titan is definitely stepping up their game with this bench! I really look forward to seeing what else they come out with next
What about comparing this to GGR's best benches REP AB-4100?
I just got a Rogue 3.0 yesterday and the center was welded not bolted.
Is it stable when you got 275 to 315 on incline press?
Coop! I have the Rogue RML-3W fold back rack and am looking for a pulley system/lat pull down add-on. The Rogue slinger won’t work on my rack. What do you recommend?
NM. I found one of your videos that put me straight!
I’m in an apartment and looking for a bench that will fit under the bed. I’m using dumbbells at 70 lbs max so it doesn’t have to support a lot of weight. I only see Bulldog Zero but that would need to imported from down under. Any advice?
Coop forgot to mention the "pull weight "
The hinge for flat bench is a no-go for me. Looks terrible for flat benching. Big piece of metal.
It’d be handy to know if I could store it on a wall when I’m not using it
FYI rogue doesn’t bolt theirs together in the middle anymore it’s welded together in the middle so they copied the rogue AB 3.1 basically
I see you flexing on us with the Nike bar and plates 😂😂😂
So close to being perfect if it had a leg roller attachment like the FiDAB-2 and Blackwong includes st this price it would've been a nobraimer for anyone looking for a do it all adjustable bench.
Pad gap is like the Cybex 5435. No issue.
Yeah I can see that bushing being uncomfortable, but on the positive side it looks heavy duty and looks like it will last a long time.
What about vs the Rep 3100 2.0?
What about Bells Of Steal Buzzsaw bench?
Thank you for the video. Im 6'4 and I would like to do seated leg curls using my athena wall mount pulley system.. need I high seat. And suggestion folks for a weight bench. P. S. I have a big but.
please review more stuff from grifin
Uses a non-linear gradation incline/decline lock system.
What's the play with the bench side-to-side? or is it solid? This definitily should hav e been reviewed!
Coop talks about stability starting at 5:51!
I'm 6 foot 6, debating this vs the 5200. I'm going to have to use the whole bench for bench pressing most likely. Does that make the pad gap on this more or less of an issue? I'm used to benching with a flat bench at commercial gyms, so not sure how that would translate here for a guy my size.
Curious about this as well.
I rather bench press on a flat bench than an adjustable bench. I own both-- that is, two flat benches and two adjustable benches. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have bought my adjustable benches.
I am 6'4 and I am able to sit above the pad gap when benching flat if that helps
@@shiwakuseven5859 space is limited so I'm just doing adjustable to align with both my workouts and my wife's, but otherwise I would be getting separate benches.
@@betitanfit thanks, that is helpful.
Please ask them to open up shipping to Canada 🙏🏻
Wanted to buy some equipment from Titan Fitness but they don't ship to Canada🙃
This looks like a great bench, and you gotta admit Titan came in at 100 bucks less and free shipping!! I really don't understand why most, if not all, companies don't include decline. Am I missing something, like decline work just isn't beneficial or something. Since I have limited space so I am still leaning towards Iron Master. I hate the padding ( a friend has one) but if you try to change it you can't use thicker foam because the addons won't work. (seat etc etc).
I have and am going to sell the ironmaster. I kind of hate it. I bought the pro pad too and it's way too thin/hard for flat bench - and slippery af. Even with the anti slip mat i bought for it, it ruins my shoulders on flat bench so I still use my Rep FB 5000. My goal was to replace my FB with an adjustable I could flat bench with and ironmaster failed miserably (and wasn't cheap). I also hate the seat being an attachment - sometimes I don't want a 90 degree angle between the back and seat but I have no choice.
I bought this for $405 with the 10% off coupon. I've been waiting for over a year for a bench with these exact specs. I was going to buy the Rep 4100 on a sale instead but Coop's review on this things stability (and also the premium look of this thing) sold me.
On decline work - it's mostly useless. If you love doing decline work definitely do it and spend an extra $100+ for a bench that supports it. But I personally prefer dips for a ton of reasons. Usually when you see high level body builders or strength athletes doing decline work it's a very mild decline (because there are better exercises like dips to hit the same muscles as a steep incline) - i.e. one that you could achieve with any flat bench (or this bench) and a short block or weight plate.
This is much better if you have color selections
Has anyone tried out the Titan Performance Adjustable Bench?
Looks like it cannot do negative incline. Too bad
Funny that Rogue dropped the price of their Rogue 3.0 by $50 today....wonder if there was a coincidence there
I know it has a better bench pad then my Rogue 3.0. That's really the only thing I don't like about the 3.0. Great job Titan.
I’d definitely buy it. Love seeing Titan step up. More competition is better for all.
If it could decline I’d buy today
Some company should make and sell a device to eliminate the pad gap to adjustable benches.
Rep used to sell a zero gap bench. Not sure if they still do
Solid bench for sure, too bad it doesn't provide decline which is usually a deal breaker for me
Agreed, Looks like a great bench - especially for the $$. But no decline is a deal breaker for me as well. That said, I typically decline bench at shallow angles. So might be possible to just elevate front foot a bit with a block of wood etc.
Stay tuned.
Take a look at the Keppi Bench5000, lower price and includes decline with leg-holders. Seems like a better overall choice to me but I haven't used either personally and would love it if GGR would review the Keppi so we can see how it compares.
Rep ab-3000 2.0 is real good with decline
@@betitanfitno, go back to making pancakes
I don't get this whole grippy vinyl pad thing. Honestly, for Powerlifting it is important but as a powerlifter you would choose a flat bench for bench pressing anyway. For bodybuilding / fitness training a more slicky pad is way better because it allows the shoulder blades / scapulas to slide freer during the movements. I wish the companys would offer two versions of pads for their new benches. A grippy version for powerlifting and a more slicky one for bodybuilding.
The AB-5200 has been $450 for at least the last two months on their website. Which is the exact same price as this.
That's v1
yeah but he was comparing it to the 5200 2.0 with decline. that is still 550/580 with decline. comparing the 5200 original with the titan, just looking at them the titan looks more stout. compared to the 2.0 they look about even build wise. would probably go with the titan over the original 5200. if you want decline then the 2.0
Yup just got done assembling mine. One annoying thing is the instructions are not on titan manuals. But this thing is a beast. Best bench I have ever used in my life. This includes commercial equipment. Padding is sticky and just the right about of firm. And overall super sturdy
It looks awesome. I am weighing out getting this over the Rep 4100
About 75% of my home gym is Titan (20% Rep, 5% Nuobell). I generally like the intersection of value and quality they offer. Made in America is nice, but it's often more expensive than I would choose to spend. I would buy this today...if I didn't already own the Rep 5200.
Rep is still the king of benches. With titans reputation for customer service or lack thereof I would just go rep. And im a t2 owner and own plenty of titan equipment. Anything you touch (barbell or bench) makes sense to go elsewhere.
All this prep work to start talking about how heavy these feel to move a bench (the front lift aka/wifey test) but you forgot this time :(
Lot of Pepin in this video. They becoming your go to adjustable?
