Most Versatile Adjustable Bench? GET RX'D FIDAB-2

On the heels of the last video talking about the REP Fitness AB-5200 I wanted to discuss the Get RX'd FIDAB-2. At first glance they appear to be very similar, but this one has some tricks up it's sleeve. Let's take a look!

[@BasementBrandon]

Let me know what you think!

[@tommymanno3357]

@@BasementBrandon So after about a week of using it I can definitely say it meets my needs for sure. I was looking for a heavy duty FID bench and this works well especially at the price. At about half of the Rogue AB3 which was my other option. $675 vs $1265 to my driveway. Seems to be sturdy enough and the ladder system in my opinion is an easier adjustment than the pull pin style. The pad has a really durable feel to it with the material feeling almost scratch and rip resistant. I like the foam on it. Its more comfortable than my rogue utility bench. So I've heard others say the AB3 has a similar feel in the foam to that bench. I've been to commercial gyms for 20 years and this bench feels as good as something id find there if not better. I didn't get the dumbbell holders as they were out of stock. Plus, I have the powerblocks as my dumbbells so they wouldn't work anyways. The worst thing about it is the handle placement. It's next to the ground which isn't the easiest place to grab it from. Nonetheless, not really a big deal in my opinion. I also would've liked a better handle grip rather than the foam grip on it. A knurled handle would've been best. Same thing with the little nubs attached to the spine of the bench to help guide it into the appropriate slot. Would've been nice for a better grip. Overall for the value against the other competitors I'd value it at about 4.5 stars. It does some things well as it rightfully should at $675. It doesn't miss on much, its sturdy, its easy to use, its beefy, and it's a long term solution for your FID bench needs.

[@BasementBrandon]

I’m currently using Rep’s AB3000 and have to admit this is pretty appealing. Been very happy with my Xebex air cycle and I think GetRX’ed doesn’t get enough love. With that Undertaker opening I seriously thought you would put the decline attachment in Hell’s Gate when it gave you some english 😆.

[@BasementBrandon]

[@higherlifts420]

Awesome review. I was lucky enough to get that 10% military discount from Get Rxd. $700 for everything. I sold the rep zero gap for this ($711 after 5% discount). My gf says the Get Rxd is way easier to move for any ladies/ spouses lifting!! I don't see why you would buy the rep 5200 over this. Love this bench, definitely worth the money imo.

[@BasementBrandon]

appreciate the first hand feedback!

[@BruisedLee]

If you want to roll it around with leg roller attached, you can just set the back pad to 45 degrees or so and move it then, no need to take off attachment

[@BasementBrandon]

Agreed, just another inconvenience I think. I leave mine in the flat position mostly.

[@el7145]

Thanks for doing this review! Its that dang freight shipping that's just ridiculous (153 for me)...still a really nice bench, and looks better then the REP ab-5200

[@illestdomer2005]

I agree Amazon has me spoiled.

[@BasementBrandon]

Get some freight quotes from Sorinex and that 153 will seem cheap lol!

[@MrKeithcl]

Great review. I still think this bench is better than that rep 5200 just because of the dumbbell arms and the fact that they fixed the 6 dollar washer instability issue of the AB 5200 (I am new to weightlifting but how embarrassing to have someone make a 6 dollar fix to an issue like that on a brand new bench).

[@BasementBrandon]

I've also heard that over tightening the bolt on the seat helps.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

[@BasementBrandon]

[@trevdo]

Did you get a chance to try the adjustable bench for Hansu. Being from Canada, the free shipping is really tempting to load up on some plates and a new adjustable bench.

[@BasementBrandon]

[@dlroto]

You could incline it some to move it with the attachment on it.

[@BasementBrandon]

Def could, but just another inconvenience IMO

[@adamj2439]

Great Review! Do you know how this compares to Reps Zero-gap in terms of moving it around? Both are beefy benches but with the added "tech" on the zero gap bench, does it feel heavier?

[@BasementBrandon]

I've only owned the REP AB5200 but I imagine they won't feel much if any different.

[@tobydavis5673]

Let me know if you get the REP Zero Gap and if so how you like it. I’m currently in the market for a bench and heavily considering purchasing it. It’s not clear on REP’s website as to whether the leg roller attachment is included. I’m assuming it does, as I haven’t found the attachment being sold separately on the site.

[@generalparrish9818]

If you were buying a power bar and had your choice between the Stainless steel Rep Power Bar EX with a Deep knurl or the Bridge Clydesdale Bar?

[@BasementBrandon]

Have not used the Bridge bar, but would go Power Bar EX regardless. Cerakote dulls the feel a lot and SS is more corrosion resistant.

[@jeffbrown4979]

It looked the dumbbell holders could be mounted on the back instead of the sides. If they can be mounted that way would a barbell fit there with weights on it or would there be a height/clearance issue or something like that?

[@BasementBrandon]

So oddly enough that's how they say to mount them in the instructions. I did that initially and posted the pics on IG. The problem is a barbell doesn't really work well there.

[@BasementBrandon]

[@tobydavis5673]

I appreciate the fine review of this bench. I would be interested in the bench, however as you point out the leg roller attachment and dumbbell holder cost extra and has made me less interested to purchase. For the price of the bench, these items should be included in my opinion. I'm favoring the ZERO-Gap REP AB-5000 bench which retails for $599.99 and has a choice of colors also. The extra money to have the zero gap would be worth it to me. It's not clear on REP's website as to whether the leg roller attachment is included in that price, so I emailed them late yesterday and still waiting on a response. My Titan Fitness T-3 rack is to arrive today, so I'm also considering their MAX Adjust FID bench which retails for $499.99 and free shipping.

[@BasementBrandon]

Problem with all these options these days is it makes buying decisions even more difficult.

[@tobydavis5673]

I did get an email reply from REP and their leg roller attachment is sold separately from the Zero Gap bench at an extra cost of $109.99. The attachment is currently out of stock. So to get the Zero Gap bench from them and the leg roller attachment, you’re looking at $710. before taxes and shipping.

[@thirdeyeinsomnia9776]

Depends. if you need decline yes, if not the AB5200 is hard to beat right now on black Friday deals... although if you're able to pick up from Get RX'd it's a push.

I sold my rep AB 5000. I surely hope this bench is an upgrade from it. It is so hard to find an adjustable bench which can truly do decline which I find to be the best angle for putting on mass.

[@BasementBrandon]

Right on, let me know how it goes.

[@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472]

@@BasementBrandon Receives my Fidab-2 bench yesterday. It is a definite improvement to the AB 5000 in every way. Better bench pad which offers more support. Much quicker when adjusting bench pad and seatpad to different angles. The decline attachment puts less pressure on my knees in comparison to the AB 5000. The decline function itself on this bench is much better than the AB 5000. It feels much more mobile and easier to move than the AB5000. The build quality and aesthetics feel far superior to the AB5000. This was a definite upgrade in every way over the Rep AB5000. My only complaint is the decline attachment should have a handle attached which I'm going to have to get one welded. I really wish everyone would follow the design of the decline attachment on the Ironmaster superbench. It is still the best decline attachment I've used out of any bench. Thank you so much for this review. You really sold me on purchasing this bench and I live near Houston so it was a no brainer

@@brandonjay_gotem it does a great job of keeping them in place, keeping debris from getting in between, and from hiding any small gaps.

[@shakurlife2]

how has this bench been holding up?

[@BasementBrandon]

Has held fine, I train alone so I've never had an issue with equipment failing really.

[@shakurlife2]

@@BasementBrandon Hey Brandon I'm about to pull the trigger on this bench, I was just wondering if the dumbbell holder hold the ironmasters?

[@BasementBrandon]

@@shakurlife2 I don't have my IM anymore, but they should fit.

[@chrisa8203]

Would’ve been sold if they had leg extension / leg curl attachment. Ugh

[@BasementBrandon]

I find those usually get in the way and/or diminish the overall bench, but I get it!

[@dejavu3655]

Couldn’t you just incline the bench to move it with the leg rollers on? That would be easier than drilling holes and flipping the leg rollers around, move it, and flip it back.

[@BasementBrandon]

You def could but I use this mostly in a flat position, so again, just an inconvenience.

[@meisdetermined]

At 2:00 when the camera is on the other side of the bench as you, one of the pads looks really crooked. Is it that noticeable in person? :-/ The pad sounds like a good middle-ground density between the rep and rogue benches you own. Finally, the dumbbell holders need to be able to adjust up or down, similar to the Titan Adjustable prone row machine. If it used square tubing with holes on all four sides then the handles could be rotated 90° to accept a barbell or turned back the way they are in the video to accept Dumbbells. More versatility. Genius I know. ;)

[@BasementBrandon]

I noticed that too when editing but never noticed in person. Could be the camera just isn't level lol.

Like Michael myers when he gets up after being stabbed by Laurie strode. Or dracula waking up in his bench. Haha.

[@StonedRambo01]

Why don't you just incline the bench to wheel it around instead of taking off the leg attachment. Yeah you can't store it like that but you can move it easily. I got the Rogue AB-3 and move mine around all the time with the leg attachment on

[@BasementBrandon]

I find I keep mine in the flat position most times. So just more of an inconvenience.

you ain't got no legs

[@lbcitylacounty4982]

Just bought this! Wished you mention that the vinyl type material is so thin! My freakin' cheap WalMart bench for $120 is even thicker than this bench! Also, so many nick and scratches! And if you really pay attention how they line up the metals before welding, they are not perfectly aligned, the welding is pretty good though. I haven't seen the new Rouge 3.0 and REP 4100 but I suggest people go look at all these benches in person before buying. I'm gonna keep mines, just want them to replace all the scratched and nicked part.

[@BasementBrandon]

Hmm I didn't have any issues with thickness on mine.

[@lbcitylacounty4982]

@@BasementBrandon I had a slit on mine, if you find a slit or any openings, you'll see what I mean. The vinyl is too thin for the price of $700 plus with attachment. Still keeping the bench, hopefully they can come up with a better material wrap one day.

[@bingjeffrey93]

Would you say this bench is better than the Rogue bench?

[@BasementBrandon]

The adjustable 2.0? It's more versatile but I prefer the stability of my 2.0

[@youngcouplesparty9006]

I've not seen a gap that wide since my last date with your mother. Kidding Brandon - as much as I spend on Rogue. I'd rather you just create videos about why Rogue is the best. That way I can continue to feel superior to everyone else. Thanks

[@BasementBrandon]

Lol, I'm just glad it's been a few months since I've been called a Rogue Elitist.

@@BasementBrandon I think I’d be “disappointed” or “horrified” or “disgusted” 😳 I have the rogue AB-2. The only thing unstable about that is the guy trying to bench on it 🍝

Be honest...does it eat you alive knowing your 35s are different than the rest of your plates

They're not any different than any of my other ones tbh. Use them when I need em.

@@BasementBrandon Yeah, for sure, makes no difference. I was just teasing ya cause I know how much you like aesthetics and consistency with your equipment
