At 9:34, does the vinyl have a small tear in it? That is worrisome, or am I seeing things?

@dunhamti Год назад

Coop! I just got my black wing bench and noticed the nick in the side of the pad, mine has the same exact nick in the same spot. Probably a QC callout for Rep manufacturing. Other than the two cheap knobs for the leg attachment and the OCD symmetry between the pop pin rail and the ladder this is a very nice bench!

@user-md6yc4ih5o Год назад

I noticed that knick immediately in the video. Did they send you a new pad?

@robolive123 6 месяцев назад

Great review! I had ordered the AB-4100 a few days ago, but decided I wanted the BW after this review. Called Rep this morning and they were able to switch it! Great customer service on their end, by the way. I'm excited to receive it. Went with wide pad and the "Army Green" color, BTW.

I really hope REP does a decent Black Friday sale this year that includes this bench. It’s a lot of cash but I’ve been in the market for a new multi-purpose bench for a little over a year. Last year’s Black Friday deals kinda sucked compared to the 2021 deals.

@murdog04 Год назад

One bench to rule them all! I Pre-ordered this at the beginning of March. I received it last week. I absolutely love it. Its the last bench I will ever own. It does everything you could ever want. I am hoping they will come out with a leg extension attachment at some point. This bench is a tank, but the weight isn’t an issue for me and I am 54 years old. It rolls around my gym super easy. Thanks for the great review Coop! Love it.

@tonya7699 Год назад

Saw another review... this bench looks like the king of all benches. Saw Rep put out a message about coming out with more attachments. Got the bench... def going to get more attachments when they drop.

@murdog04 Год назад

@@tonya7699 I used the FlyBird adjustable bench for almost three years. It was a cheap Amazon purchase. It was nice that it folded up and could be tucked away, but it wasn’t the most stable of benches. Once I got my power rack equipped with everything I wanted, the bench was next on my list. I saw the BlackWing showcased at the Arnold and knew that was the bench for me. I too am looking for REP to come out with some cool attachments for this bench. I will be first in line when they do.

@BassAnywhere Год назад

Do you mean the leg roller attachement ? The current one for the 5000 series fits with the Blackwing !

Coop should have either called out the tear or phoned REP to rectify before the review.

@wetdrycream Год назад

Sooo glad you did a review on this and I'm looking forward to the manaray rogue review. Rogue's is too expensive and so im going with the 4100 because of the heaviness of the blackwing- it has awesome details and totally worth the price and I'll miss the decline and 130lb stability but it's too danm heavy to comfortably move around my little home gym often and daily. I had made up my mind before this but thanks for the review coop!

@thurbran Год назад

Just ordered. Thanks for the good review!!!

@markhalstead2386 Год назад

I absolutely love my blue Black Wing. It is a beast! I sold my Rogue AB-3 to get this and it feels as stable as that Rogue. The fact it can stand is why I sold the Rogue to get this. I used my Rep FB-5000 in the interim and sold it after getting the Black Wing. I no longer needed a flat bench in addition to an adjustable bench. It does wonders for the floor space in my smaller gym having just one bench.

@MelloHubb Год назад

Exact same as you man. I love the blackwing and look forward to my bench days every week now

@31snipe Год назад

Hi Mark. What avenue did you use to sell your Rogue AB-3? I'm planning to sell mine to upgrade to the Black Wing or the Manta Ray. But I don't see many (any) postings in eBay or Marketplace for an AB-3; trying the determine how to get the most for my existing bench, and ensure that it winds up in the hands of someone who can appreciate a good solid bench. TIA!

Rep did their thing with this bench! I like it more and more every time I see it. I recently bought the OG AB-5200 at a discount, and I did that knowing they would release new and improved models. With that said, I don't have any regrets because the AB-5200 is a beast!

@robolive123 6 месяцев назад

So I received my Rep Blackwing ("Army Green"), assembled it, and just used it for the first time. Wow! This think is a tank. Beautifully made, super solid. Nothing at all negative to say, at this point. Super impressive, to say the least! I got the wide pad and like it. I guess the ONLY negative is that it's heavy, so you have to be careful bending down to lift it to stand it up. But that weight also makes it rock solid. When people hear "made in China", they might shy away. I'll just say that every little detail is perfect on mine, and the level of quality is obvious. For $620 shipped, I think the Blackwing is an excellent value.

@pottsy1907 10 месяцев назад

Firstly, Great videos. Super informative, constructive pros and cons, and really nicely edited to highlight the good, the bad and the ugly. I’m in the market for an adjustable FID bench. I really like ur solo review and head to head on the BLACKWING by REP. However, and here’s the million dollar question, towards the end of the solo video u highlight my biggest concern, the weight. I def want a bench I can store vertically safeIy, and it also being super study and also FID. So what other benches should I consider with a rouge manta ray budget as an absolute max, to get a bench with less weight, but all the blackwing features. The zero gap is awesome, but not a deal breaker if the gap is small. I want to do decline work, nordics are not a must have .. I thought I’d call on ur expert knowledge in this field of ur expertise. And maybe I suck up the 131 lb weight of the blackwing .. I’m concerned it’s super heavy to not only left up but then move around . Therefore, before I pulled the trigger I thought I’d ask. Appreciate ur reply comment in advance, amd thank you again for brilliant videos. Cheers

@billchurch4460 Год назад

Did REP pay extra to have you showcase the tear in the vinyl? I had a similar cut/tear, in a similar location, in their wide pad. They happily replaced it, but I wonder if there is something up with the manufacturing process that increases the likelihood. I agree with you on the leg roller. I've never owned/used it, but it has always looked like an afterthought. The manufacturer needs to up their foot catch game.

@checkitout611 9 месяцев назад

The upholstery on them is for sure the weak link. I recommend buying a black roll of already stitched upholstery and put a "slip cover" on the back and seat pads. Just staple it to the back side of the bench pad and then re-bolt it down. It makes a huge difference for wear. It's just certainly not the best quality of vinyl material is the issue for sure.
