I just got my Blackwing! It's everything and more that it's made out to be. It's so heavy duty it's overkill. It's real work unboxing and assembling this bench, but it's worth the trouble. The extra features set it above the competition. You can hand this bad boy down to your great grandchildren. Real quality.

After looking at him lift it up and see the seat wobble ever so slightly, I think it is for 2 reasons. I think it adds more stability when standing for sure to have the gap closed. However, more importantly I think if it was all the way extended and you raised the seat quickly, I bet with the ratcheting seat mechanism it might flip/fall forward (up) when the bench hits the ground when upright.

The BlackWing's handle placement definitely makes it easier to pick up than our AB-5000. However, the 5000 series benches in general are meant to be overbuilt and heavy duty. I would consider the AB-4100 if you're looking for a solid flat/incline bench that is easy to move around.

@@ChrisP3000x likely does depend on how wide your shoulders are. I do typically use the wide pad for flat benching, as it supports under my shoulders a little more. That said, as long as the pad is 12", I think I could do without if needed. I don't seem to have a problem using my 12" adjustable pad for incline barbell/DB bench pressing. So if looking to save some coin or if short on space, go with an adjustable bench with a 12" pad and you should be ok. But flat benches are relatively cheap, so I went that route and got the wide pad on that.
