Well working out with a bench on the carpet is going to make anything feel flimsy. Put it on concrete or hardwood flooring. The carpet review is not accurate no offense.
My office, the place I work out in, is all carpet. I'm not going to work out in a garage or my living room. I'm reviewing it based on my experience and setup.
I love this bench. I have both versions of the Flybird benches. I love the red one because it’s not as high. My wife can use and her feet touch the ground. I don’t understand the criticism because this bench is super sturdy. The bench is indeed shorter. I’m 5 11 and I comfortably use for incline and decline dumbbell press
You should try the newer one with the red trim. It is only 16" off the ground and far better than this one. This was actually one of my least favorite benches I've ever tested. Good that you enjoy it though!
I'm 5'6, 60kg need a bench for Ramadan I've got 50kg worth of weights, will this work for me, just need it for DB presses flat n incline and chest supported rows n bulg Split Squats
@@muhammadessa749 unfortunately I do not know being in the US. I'm sure there are others though. You can get by without one and just use the floor for your exercises.
I bought this bench with the red marks first and had to return it for being WAYYY too short! I'm only 5'7 BTW. From my shoulder to the top of my head just floated off of the bench specially when inclined. Returned it to buy the whole black bench, 100 times better...
The height is my main complaint but I still have it. I returned the short one the week I received it. Not a fan. I like the larger one a lot more, just lower the seat height and it would be perfect.
@@GamerBody There's an even newer one here with 16.5" height. It says it's for up to 5'9". www.amazon.com/FLYBIRD-Adjustable-Foldale-Strength-Training/dp/B08DQPGSZ1/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2Z3EJWQC2S2N5&dchild=1&keywords=flybird+adjustable+bench&qid=1610679278&sprefix=flybied+%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-7 Wonder how this is
I bought this at a yard sale for 10$, in perfect condition! I am actually surprised they only charged me 10 for this, considering how good this bench is..
@@GamerBody Yea, I'm 5'9", so the other Flybird bench isn't going to work for me either. I'm looking into the Fitness Reality 1000. Maybe the 2000, but it's a bit more than I'd like to spend.
Ha, I just saw that you did a video review of the Fitness Reality 1000. Man, your videos are awesome! I think that's the way I'm going to go. I fortunately don't have an issue with space, so this one should work for me. I also saw your Core Fitness dumbbells' review, which was also great. I was about to buy those, but heard a lot of negative reviews about a non-existent customer service if you have any issues with them. I ended up getting the NordicTrack Select-A-Weight dumbbells and so far they're awesome.
Nice, I haven't heard much about those dumbbells but I'll have to look into those as well! That bench is great just a bit clunky for my setup. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the review, this is the number 1 best seller on Amazon UK with 12k+ ratings. You'd think it's a no brainer but then here is an actual review of it... It's not exactly cheap either!
Yeah, this is my least favorite of the 3 current benches from Flybird in the US. I just made a review on the latest one that has a red strip around the edge.
I just bought one of these benches and I have to agree with your feeling that is feels flimsy. The metal frame seems fine, but the wood in the seat is obviously low quality particle board.. I can hear the wood crunch when I grip it. I mainly only use this for incline/flat bench (
@@GamerBody Thanks! Workout went well, but I did decide to call amazon about to bench's wood cracking in the seat.. Oddly enough, they gave me a full refund but said to just keep it...? Strange but fine by me lol
I need to order a bench immediately. I work remotely as an animator, and I also upload gameplay. I hate sitting inside all day. I am a naturally fast runner, and I grew up with Dragon Ball in the 1990s and around 2000 as well.
Nice. Take a look at the IronMaster Super Bench Pro with pull-up bar attachment as that is my top recommendation. If you do go Flybird, get the one with red trim around the edges (not this one)
People come in various heights so a seat height adjustment or overall height adjustment on workout/weight benches could make it more suitable for the masses. I have PowerBlock bench that has a seat height of that go down to about 13.5 inches and up to 16 inches. I’m 5’7” and the 16 inch seat height is perfect. The PowerBlock bench is big, heavy and bulky and is a solid chunk of steel and doesn’t fold. Thanks! Great review on the new FlyBird bench.
I am a physician and do 6 days shifts at the hospital then I am off for 8 days, I needed a bench to keep in my on call room in order to continue working out when I am working at the hospital, I think it will do the job, now I need to buy adjustable dumbells, likely will go with Bowflex got the bench for $119
@@GamerBody I do need more then 50 Lb, also any similar bench with longer back rest so my head wont hang off of it ? I may return the one I purchased yesterday from Amazon if too short, I wonder if you could recommend a similar one that can fit under the bed I am 6f
I'd go with the Flybird weight bench or the Fitness Reality. I did make reviews on both and they are larger than this. I personally use the Flybird Weight bench right now, bit the main issue is the seat height is 21in which is just a bit too high, but still works for me. I'm 5'11" so it should be good for you. Otherwise, the Fitness Reality bench is great, just not as easy to fold and store.
@@GamerBody after good research I ended up buying the Hasiman adjustable weight bench, seems solid and sturdy bench also folds to compact size, thank you for the input, it was very helpful
Well I had this flybird weight bench for some time and its strong enough and didn't break and I do everything with it, lifting 2 100 pound dumbbells plus me extra 185 pounds total of 385, and it helped me get big and strong fyi I recommended this bench to anyone that what's to get big enough this bench is 1000 % strong
I’m 5’ 11” and I love this bench. I got hurt in 2016 and shattered my right heel bone. This has been an amazing starter bench for me while I’m on my recovery and strengthening.
Thanks for the review! I'm wondering which you would recommend between this Flybird and the Fitness Reality one you had? Is this one also better than FR?
This particular Flybird I did not like, I do love my current one though but the only issue is the height off the ground at 21in. If it was a few inches shorter it would be perfect. Between this Flybird and the FitnessReality I'd have to go with FitnessReality because it can hold more weight and is easier to setup. It is a bit bulkier, but I'd take that over this version of the Flybird.
Was yours on a wood surface? Mine didn't slide around at all when in use. Can tip over if doing something like a hip thrust, otherwise it was pretty stable.

Do you do your compound lifts on carpet? I’m moving into an apartment that has a carpet floor and was wondering if i should get like some sort of platform
Yes. The room I workout in is all carpet. However, I use the Flybird Weight Bench instead of this one as this particular bench is too small and flimsy. I hope that helps :)

Yes, it's really awkward being tall and sitting in a low seat. My main complaint with this particular bench is everything else. Feels really cheap compared to my 21inch version. However, that one is just an inch or two too tall.
I no longer use this (I actually don't like this particular one at all). I have the IronMaster Super Bench Pro as it has a pull-up bar attachment making it a gamechanger for me. It is expensive and takes up some space, but gets me off my doorframe. If you still want Flybird, go with the one that has the thick red trimming around the edges as it is better than this one.
@@GamerBodyaverage height here is like 6+ I am 6 foot and one of shortest among friends and classmates 😂 I legit can't find bench that ain't expensive with my height
@@GamerBody Sadly I can't order that one since it's almost only for US market. Can't find it in europe. I went with winnow bench, might not be the best but will work and it's longest bench I could find.
Not sure. The ones I look for are for me personally. If you can find one with the pin selector that can hold a decent amount of weight and fold well I'd go in that direction.
I think this bench is actually an earlier version of the flybird you already had...good review

Where does the center pin go when its folded? I couldn't find where its supposed to go so I just set it aside somewhere.

Hi, can you please tell me what the name of those dumbells?
They are the Core Fitness Adjustable Dumbbells. You can see my 4 year review here: th-cam.com/video/ifNyvm24-V8/w-d-xo.html
So did you ever get a new bench as of today.
I'm using the Flybird but the one that is all black. It is here: th-cam.com/video/D1wEFL3oFHM/w-d-xo.html
Can you even make the bench decline?
Yes, it goes below parallel if you don't put the backrest support on any of the spokes.
Is bench press enough for chest?
Yes as long as you completely fatigue the muscle (positive failure)
So how did it hold up after 2 years?
I no longer use this (I actually don't like this particular one at all). I have the IronMaster Super Bench Pro as it has a pull-up bar attachment making it a gamechanger for me. It is expensive and takes up some space, but gets me off my doorframe.
If you still want Flybird, go with the one that has the thick red trimming around the edges as it is better than this one.
I have one and do recommend it. It has a higher weight bearing capacity.
I have the Flybird weight bench which is better :)
I’m 6’2 265lbs wonder if this will work out for me
I would not get this one..try the other Flybird weight bench. This particular o e is too small
What if I want to adjust it in the middle of a workout? Is it fast and easy
Not really. It's isn't slow...but not nearly as quick as my other bench.
so i guess not to buy?
I wouldn't buy it again, but it will ultimately come down to what you think. I just made a review on a better on Flybird released :)
Extremely useful. Thanks so much.
