CUSTOMER STORIES
- Length: Minimum of 1.22m (~48”)
- Width of pad: Between 29-32cm (~11.4-12.6”)
- Height (including pad): Between 42-45cm (~16.5-17.7”)
- Fixed: A fixed post will allow you to have a flat/incline adjustable bench. This is ideal for a busy gym or for less-experienced lifters. Fewer moving parts reduces the learning curve on how to use the bench. Simply lift the seat and back pad to the desired angle.
- Adjustable: The adjustable post allows you to drop the angle of the back pad to add decline options. This puts the focus on different muscle groups and turns your bench into an FID (flat/incline/decline) adjustable bench. Just loosen the pop-pin on the post, pull it to adjust the angle, and twist to tighten it. It’s as easy as adjusting a bike seat. For safety and stability, make sure the pop-pin is fully engaged.
- A standard pad falls within all IPF specifications, including width. Choose this if you want a competition-compatible bench pad. In addition, smaller lifters may find a wide pad limits their full range of motion when benching, so they might benefit from a standard pad.
- A wide pad is ideal for lifters with broader shoulders and people who want more shoulder support or have shoulder restrictions. A wide pad can also simulate a floor press, without having to go on the floor.
The toughest, most customizable bench we offer now has even more customization and stability – with additional frame colors, the option to choose a different accent color on the guide rails, a decline option via an easy-to-use fixed or adjustable post, and your choice of CleanGrip™ pads in standard width or wide. The rear foot also allows REP® Ares™ attachment 2.0 users to position the bench deeper into the rack. This enables a better incline and flat bench press experience.
Yes, the AB-5200 2.0 was designed for vertical storage on the floor. Just prop it up on its improved storage stand to save space. The rear stand is metal with a plastic lining to ensure the bench and the floor are protected.
Whether you choose the standard or wide pad, this bench falls within International Powerlifting Federation height and length requirements. However, if you pick the wide pad, that does not adhere to IPF width.
According to the IPF Rule Book a bench must fall within the following specifications:
The AB-5200 2.0 is not compatible with the Spotter Platform or the Leg Roller Attachment. The decline angle on this bench isn't aggressive enough to require a Leg Roller to hold you in position. If you want steeper decline options for additional exercises and ab work, check out the BlackWing™.
The AB-5200 2.0 has two pad options: standard or wide. They both feature our new CleanGrip™ pad.
Either! The AB-5200 2.0 with a fixed post is best for a commercial setting, because it’s easier to use and has a more common ladder system. For home use, we recommend either the fixed or adjustable post, depending on your needs. If you choose the adjustable post for your home gym, you have the time and practice to learn how to properly use it.
The rear foot also allows REP® Ares™ attachment 2.0 users to position the bench deeper into the rack. This enables a better incline and flat bench press experience.
The AB-5200 2.0 should arrive in four boxes: one box for the frame in the color you chose; one box for the guide rails in the accent color of your choice; one box for the post (fixed or adjustable); and another box for the bench pad (standard or wide).
The adjustable post comes in metallic black on the outside and black chrome finish on the inside, so it slides smoothly. It is not available in other colors at this time.
The new REP CleanGrip™ pads feature several improvements over our existing standard vinyl pads. The pad is now grippier than standard vinyl. It is comfortable yet firm and extra durable, with reinforced edges so the material stays taut. Read all about CleanGrip™ material here.
A mild dish detergent and water are the best cleaning agents for poly-vinyl pads. Use a sponge or clean cloth and soapy water to wipe to remove dirt and sweat from the vinyl. The CleanGrip™ material is grippy enough to shred a paper towel, so use cloth instead.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoFantastic. Built like a tank. Made me a REP fan.
I've been using this for a few weeks now and it's a MASSIVE improvement over my previous bench. This thing is a tank. Super solid. (In fact, it's arguably overkill for my needs.)
Premium finish and feel. Pad feels great. Should've gotten it sooner. Last bench I'll ever need.
This is my first piece of REP gear and I'm sold. Will be looking at REP for anything else I need from now on.
RRay - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoThe one bench to rule them all
I upgraded from AB-3000 with gen 2 pad to this new AB-5200 2.0 with adjustable decline post, metallic black, and red rails. While the previous pad was good, the new one is next level! I have been waiting to upgrade to something that was heavier for more stability, a firmer pad, could stand up for storage, and didn't have leg rollers that got in the way during bench. While this bench weighs more, lifting it up to move around the gym or to store away is easier than my old bench. You also barely feel the pad gap. I went with the standard pad and am happy I didn't go wider as it allows for more versatility, including competition prep, no impingement to range of motion, and can be used by other members of my family that don't have broad shoulders. I only want to keep one bench in our small 120sqft gym, and this truly is the bench I've been waiting for to upgrade with great features and options. Shipped to me in NC in 4 boxes and FedEx took two days to ship three of them and the fourth box came the next day. Installation was easy and a fun project with my 6 and 10 year old. Lastly, I went with this bench over the Blackwing due to the ease and speed of adjusting the back pad and seat, as I tend to do super/giant sets. Additionally, I like the 5200's color customization options better and I also think the zero gap is inefficient and a bit gimicky. Shoutout to Keshen at Rep for the great quality control check and packaging.
SSuraj - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoSolid bench!
Had this bench for almost 3 years now. Best bench I’ve ever owned. This thing is solid! If you’re looking for a bench, get this one and thank me later.
SSua - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoLOVE IT!
I’m super impressed with our new bench from Rep. We were deciding between the 5200 and the 4100 but glad we went with the one with the decline feature. The quality is great, sturdy, looks really nice, quite big and wide as it is without the wide pad upgrade, super easy to put together. Love the matte black, and the bench pad material is really nice too. I’m really impressed with the shipping as well - it arrived faster than I expected, duties included in the shipping, no additional shipping charges after ordering (in comparison with another not so great company I’ve ordered through). Well worth the cost for going with the 5200! Overall, I’m super happy and can’t wait to order our rack and hopefully the Adonis and Arcadia as well when/if a bigger model drops in the next coming months! :)
JJosee - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoGlad I Waited
Been looking for the perfect bench for well over a year. Some came close but they were always lacking something or were too heavy. Then the AB5200 v 2 came out. Finally, a bench that checked all my boxes. Right height, right pad spacing, right adjustability, and right weight. I was a bit concerned that my wife would be bothered by the weight but she's fine with it. This will definitely be forever bench.
