Best All in One Bench for a Home Gym
#repfitnessequipment #homegym
The AB-3000 is known as the best-value, adjustable, FID bench for home gyms -- and it just got better with a new, upgraded look and feel in the AB-3000 2.0. This bench is a high-quality option for lifters looking for a rock-solid, flat-incline-decline bench. Built-in leg rollers and an adjustable pin assure you’re comfortable and secure in the decline position. When not in use, you can move and lock the leg rollers back for better clearance. In addition, the AB-3000 2.0 has eight back pad angles (-12, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 70, and 85 degrees), many of which are different from the original AB-3000 for more user-friendly positioning. The ladder-style back adjustment allows you to change the angle instantly, and it’s easy to pick your angle using the laser-cut numbering along the ladder. It is also quieter, as the updated ladder features noise dampeners. The seat pad also has five different angles (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees). The AB-3000 2.0 features updated front and rear bases with rubber covers to better grip and protect the floors. The rear base is wider to provide more side-to-side stability.
The pads are upgraded, too. New CleanGrip pads are extra dense for added durability and are even grippier than before. The updated back pad is squared off with a greater surface area for more back support and is easier to clean than its predecessor. The 2.0 still has the same seat pad that gets wider and thicker on the front, so it’s more comfortable on the back of your knees when using the Leg Rollers. If you don’t like the wider flare on the front, the seat pad is now reversible. A new, horizontal handle on the leg attachment was designed to stay out of the way when you’re lifting, and it makes the bench easier to move around your gym. In addition to standard matte black, metallic black, red, and blue, the AB-3000 2.0 is also now available in white. Black hardware, rubber endcaps on the ladder adjustment arm, and enclosed wheels all come together to make this a high-quality bench with a patent-pending design. The AB-3000 2.0 has a weight capacity of 1,000lbs and is finished with REP’s signature powder coat.

I love that the seat pad flips. That is awesome. This bench was a solid option, and this update has fortified that it seems. Great breakdown man!

[@NoFate247]

Thanks for checking this video out! We appreciate it!

[@carps_gym]

Lots of nice upgrades all the things that you mentioned they upgraded were things I had problems with the original version

REP kills it again. They are doing great stuff with benches.

[@NoFate247]

Facts are facts, they've been making improvements on every iteration and the color options are key for many looking to have a specific color scheme. What's your goto rep bench if you only could pick one

I already owned 2 benchs from rep (fb5000,ab 4100). Im definitely getting ab3000 soon for sure. I dont know why i need another one but it looks so cool. Also need a good explanation to my wife for getting it. Thank for the review. Im sold!

[@NoFate247]

When it shows up, assemble it and get rid of the boxes before she comes home. Then pretend you've had that bench for like over a year (and how dear she only notice it now)....

@@NoFate247 hahaha. Best advice 👌!

[@dejavu3655]

I actually like the old lever arm at the front of the bench. Very easy to move the bench around. Decline on the bench is great for low rows if you’ve never tried it.

[@NoFate247]

Have to give that a try. Going to try seal rows with it today

[@TrainerBigMike]

The fact that the old ab3000 didn’t have those rubber feet is the reason I sold mine. Otherwise it was perfect so this might be my Christmas present to myself 🎁

[@NoFate247]

The grip on the feet and the pad itself is nuts

[@dejavu3655]

$4 rubber pads at Home Depot fixed this issue

[@josegamboa994]

Just got mine delivered today in red. Dang, this thing is a tank. A little lower to the ground than I thought it would be, but it should work great since the seat pad is adjustable.

Been watching video over and over. Can't decide on this one vs the 4100. I'm thinking 3100 now that it's getting the same quality as the 4100 but with a decline option.

[@NoFate247]

Yes if space isn't an issue go with this one

[@dianemuollo6798]

[@randy291]

Great review! New sub here. I recently purchased this bench. Could you please explain to me so I understand why they include two pins for the roller adjustment?. I can see one to hold it in place but what is the second one for? And the directions that shows you using to, but I just can’t figure it out. Thank you in advance.

[@NoFate247]

Thanks 🙏. My understanding is the second pin you can use to lock the feet in the furthest back position so it won't have any where to move

Can you do Nordic curls on the roller

[@NoFate247]

Yes

[@waterprosurge]

Like others, I'm trying to decide between this and the 4100 for my first bench. I'm curious, do you think decline bench press and decline situps are worth it? Or do you think they're a waste? I'm also curious because the decline angle is only 15 degrees so it's not really that much decline. Trying to figure out if the decline is worth it or not.

[@NoFate247]

I almost never do decline for bench or sit-ups so it's an easy choice for me. I think if you plan to do decline bench press then get the 3000 but I wouldn't bother with it for sit ups imo. If you use my link let me know so I can send you a thank you gift [e-mail] 🙏

[@snakebyte7271]

I was going to get the AB4100 but i do like the decline option for sit ups . I think i will be purchasing this today not sure what color Metallic Black/White or Red.

The shipping cost is ridiculous in Canada, unfortunate!

They are working to fix that as much they can or so I am told

[@planetgeo6524]

When you flip the seat pad does it minimize the gap or does the size of the gap remain the same?

[@NoFate247]

I found it minimized the gap but there is still a gap.

[@waterprosurge]

I don't currently have a leg roller attachment for my cage to hold my legs down when doing lat pull-downs. I'm curious, have you ever tried using the foot holders on this bench to hold yourself in place for lat pulldowns? Curious if that works?

[@NoFate247]

You can use it to brace yourself for low cable rows but not enough clearance to get your feet under them for pull downs

[@gregmoss6371]

What about the flat height. 18inches? Could it replace the competition flat benches for folks that want the most out of their bench press

[@NoFate247]

It could replace a flat bench and most people won't notice much difference between their comp bench

[@RP-wm7xk]

Could you use the decline for some abdominal work or is it not that comfortable?

[@NoFate247]

I was doing decline sit ups and medicine ball to toes and a few others so definitely many for abs

[@thisguyrighthere4634]

I don't really do decline bench presses either but was looking at this bench for decline abs workout so is that alone worth it? Thanks ❤️

[@NoFate247]

If only for decline abs probably not better off with an ab3000 or ab4100

[@thisguyrighthere4634]

@@NoFate247 thanks and still waiting for a KZbinber to review the Bridge built pulley system before I pull the trigger on that. Pretty expensive vs a lat pull-down attachment for my X3

[@Reshi313]

Is the width the same on this as the AB-3000? I've heard some people say they prefer the width of the 3100.

[@NoFate247]

It is wider than the previous ab3000 version

[@futbol1972]

So whats the difference between this one and the ab 4100? Can I store the ab3000 2.0 standing up like the ab4100

[@NoFate247]

No it is n can't be stored up right and the 4100 can't do decline

[@dogflavoredramen]

Would you say that this is better value than their standard 3100?

[@NoFate247]

Yes if you use decline for abs or benching.

[@cuzihungry]

I'm about to buy either the AB-4100 or the even smaller AB-3100, opinions?

Go with the 4100 it's fantastic, more color options, and can stand up when not being used to save you a ton of space

[@oldschoolcoolgamefan2650]

So disappointed that they didn't incorporate vertical storage. Rep needs to understand they are catered to mostly 'home gym' owners. So every engineering design that goes into their product has to incorporate some sort of space saving into it. It is an absolute must and not incorporating that into this 2.0 design is a huge missed opportunity.

[@NoFate247]

If this had vertical storage, man it might have been 10/10 all around. I wonder if they experimented with that but the decline option made it problematic to have both.
