FAQS
-
Why would I choose the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench?
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.
-
Can I store the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench vertically?
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.
-
Is the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench up to IPF specifications?
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:- 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”)
-
Is the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench compatible with the AB-5200 Spotter Platform and/or Adjustable Bench Leg Roller Attachment?
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™.
-
Should I purchase the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench with the fixed or adjustable post?
- 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.
- 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.

Should I get the standard or wide pad for the AB-5200 2.0?
The AB-5200 2.0 has two pad options: standard or wide. They both feature our new CleanGrip™ pad.
- 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.
- 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.
-
Is the AB-5200 2.0 better for a commercial gym or a home gym?
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.
-
How does the AB-5200 2.0 Adjustable Weight Bench ship?
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).
-
Can I customize the color on the AB-5200 2.0’s adjustable post?
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.
-
What is the new CleanGrip™ material on my bench pad?
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.
-
What is the best way to clean a CleanGrip™ bench pad?
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.
