I like Rep benches they made solid benches and have a solid track record over the last 5 years or so and have continued to bring updates and improvements over previous versions. I like the idea of this bench but with me already having the rogue AB 3 I don’t need or have room for another one currently. If I was building a new home gym or upgrading equipment I would certainly consider this one. A lot of bang for the buck!

Looks like you might be the first to have gotten a review out. I'm surprised they didn't make any changes to their foot catch. I'm sure it gets the job done, but Rogue's variant seems nicer, beefier etc. Rogue's rollers appear to be at least 5" diameter based upon my measurements. REP's site says their rollers are 4". I wonder if Rogue's foot catch would work with REP's bench and I wonder if someone could even buy one assuming they were interested. I'm curious to try REP's new pads. I'll probably have to buy one for the FB-5000 I just picked up whenever they become available. As far as I can tell, home gyms are like a drug addiction without the drugs. I guess if I ever want my lips to stick to my teeth, I can always call in the Echo bike.
