How does the Titan Series Adjustable Bench stack up? gluck.fit/TitanSeriesAdjustableBench
Do you recommend the AB5200 V2, the blacking, or the AB4100...Money being no object. Once you add the adjustable post to the 5200 and the blackwing are the same money. Definitely plan on using your Link!
7 months later I came back to watch this. I am still in love with this bench!
I got this titan bench. Primarily because of price. I am absolutely in love with it. The grip is amazing and it is very sturdy. I will own this thing forever
Same here, I got mine after watching a review from Coop at garage gym reviews. Titan has some deals hard to say no to.
Another very thorough review, Gluck. Thank you. In the Battle of the Benches review, please add the Straydog Alpha Bench and Surplus Strength Aegis as competitors on the high end. Very interested in your views on the these made in the USA products.
this is the video imma reference when i design my new bench for my new employer. Posting this for reference when i hopefully talk them into getting you to do a review.
Another fantastic review! Been on the fence between the 5200 2.0 and MantaRay for months while also eyeing a purple 4100! Excited for the monster bench showdown video, and happy to see Titan’s quality improving
Thanks! Just a few more benches to complete the collection 😂
Man, just another great review!! Can’t wait for the big bench showdown 😁
Soon 😊 just a few more benches to add 😂
It’s good to see another review with this. Seems like Titan is really attempting to be a challenger in the market
The bench king does it again. Awesome review and great comparison of Titans top bench vs. Rogue and REPs bench’s
Thank you!
I’m a huge fan of REP’s products. Their quality and pricing is the best on the market hands down. I own the BlackWing and am very pleased with it. Titan has certainly stepped their game up and should now be a contender when considering a purchase. I am looking at their hack squat leg press combo for my next purchase. Thanks again for the great review. Keep’em com’n. All the best!!!!
Their prices are decent but they are starting to get to a point where do I spend a bit more on a Rogue made in America product vs a Rep made in China product.
The Bench King is back! Please tell us you don't plan on sawing your whole bench collection in half for the bench comparison video!?? Seems like a pretty good contender in the market. Still very happy with my 5200 V1. P
I would gladly if my wife wouldn't kill me 😂
Great review!
Thanks!
Fantastic review 🏋♂️
Thank you 😊
This summer I ordered a complete rack, bench and weights in one order for my home gym. I liked Titans stuff but their benches sucked at the time so I went with REP because I could get everything I needed from the one place at a decent price. I probably would have gone with Titan if this bench was released back then.
Finally, a bench review!
It's been too long
Last month I picked up a rep blackwing thanks to your review. I went with the wide pad to try it and have no regrets! Great bench. I probably would have been just as happy with the ab5200 v2 but I like that I can add the foot roller pads to the blackwing in the future
I love my 14 inch blackwing as well. Only thing I’ve noticed doesn’t work well is trying to do dumbbell flies.
If Rep ever delivers on the promised attachments that Blackwing will become a much more tempting bench for a lot of people.
Are you guys wide shouldered? Cause I’m on the fence about getting a wide pad vs not. I have very wide shoulders.
@@AnontheGOAT I am average 5‘9“ with normal shoulders so you might be good. If I could go back in time, I would want a 14 inch flat bench and 12 inch wide pad on the Blackwing.
@@meisdetermined why the different widths between the two types of benches?
Great review as usual and Titan is critical in the industry for those decent quality without spending a ton. It's great middle ground. The Manta Ray is just way too expensive IMO
I bought the Titan Elite FID bench from their scratch and dent page about a month ago. The FID is a great bench for the price. The only downside of the bench is that the wheels included to move it "suck" and I still need to replace them with something different from the hardware store. The bench is 11 gauge and can hold 1000lbs at a price less than $300. I would suggest getting the FID rather than the adjustable one.
Seems like a quality bench. Probably the best bang for your buck. I already went with the Rep Blackwing, since i had the extra cash to throw at it.
I love Titans equipment because of the price. I have other name brand in my gym but I just love a good deal. And think of these, they do have some nice pieces to get now they have awesome bench. That what Titan been doing these for years. Ya Titan!!
Adrain Glucks workout of the day: filming a bench comparison video.
As much as that's a joke the filming is a literal workout since I have to do dozens of exercises for the b rolls 😂
The undisputed adjustable bench review king!
😊
Bench roundup when? Great video as always
Soon 😊
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review. Please mention how heavy they are to pick up
And move around.
Very nice shirt!
As somebody who bought a fully kitted out home gym from rep a couple years ago (including an AB-5000), I have spent the last year or so filling in the gaps with Titan equipment since they're usually cross-compatible being 'metric 3 inch' systems. In most cases I was satisfied with the Titan gear 'for the money' as it was usually on par with Rep or a trivial step down in quality (with savings to justify it). This Titan Series Adjustable bench however is the first thing I've bought from Titan that in my opinion is BOTH better than my Rep equipment AND less expensive. I realize my Rep AB-5000 and this bench aren't direct competitors since the rep is designed to be used as a decline bench too, but still, on the Titan I found the pad grip and comfort far superior, the bench is noticeably more stable and rigid, it's far easier to adjust, and I think it looks and feels more premium. And it goes for $450 vs the $600 I paid rep for their bench (it has since dropped in price).
Oh, also I love the long back pad length, and even at 6'0" I have no problem benching entirely from the back pad, making the gap and hinge area a non-issue for me (plus I have the AB-5000 if I really want 'zero gap').
Keep up the great work, Gluck.
To be fair the 5000 is 5 or so years old and being discontinued. It's also a different style of bench being a pop pin vs a ladder.
Your version would have a gen 1 or 2 rep vinyl and pad vs their newer stuff which is much nicer. It's what's on the 5200 2.0 in this video.
I recently ordered the Giant lifting FID bench, thought about rep, even considered major lutie….but the colors on the Giant one convinced me. I don’t see a lot out of Giant Lifting. Worth it?
Well dang I did not expect Titan to come out with so much polish!
Me either
Hi, gluck between this or Rep 4100 what do You prefer?
Is really very difficult to move the Titan bench?
13:03 is the butt pad on backwards? 😂 Love the reviews!!
My ab 5200 gen 1 has already started to tear a bit on the fabric even though I don’t use it for step ups or anything.
Yep. I assemble them with my son so when he put the pads on one was backwards 😂
🤣@@GlucksGym
@@GlucksGym blaming his son for assembly 😂
My Titan Series adjustable bench arrives in a couple days. Excited to get my hands on it!
I would like to see a solid review or in the big bench showdown the giant lifting F 85 I think folks be sleeping on that one
Have to wait for it's "final" version
Rep really is the sweet spot on benches. Really good quality for a fair price. I've had a FB5000 for almost 5 years and there is not real reason to replace it. Their fat pad isn't as nice as a Thompson but it's close.
Question about the pad. I do single are preacher curls, does the top of the pad have cushion or is it super hard?
I’ve seen a few people say that Titan copied REP’s vinyl but the Hefty vinyl predates the CleanGrip by a few years. I remember trying it out at least 3 years ago and liked it enough to consider replacing my Thompson Fat Pad with a Titan Hefty Pad.
I've heard that toi but Titan's was first. I'd say (and have said) Rep was attempting to make their pad closer to Rogue's.
This was good, but I wish you’d do more bench reviews :-p
I think we all wish for that 🤔😂
I've got my purple AB-4100 and I do appreciate how easy it is to move around in a somewhat awkward shed.
Don't tell Wynie you have a purple one!
I have no need for a new bench, but I enjoyed watching this anyway. The Titan bench looks great. My flat bench is over 400, and my incline is regularly over 275, and I have learned to appreciate some of the nuanced differences between benches on heavy lifts. I think ANY of these would be great for almost anyone. Titan is still behind Rep and Rogue in general, but it is clear to see that they have improved their quality and product development/engineering.
I want to see what you say about all those new bars Titan put out. Rep makes my favorite bars and I had high hopes for the new Titans, but NONE of them are offered in stainless. 😥
Also, Gluck, I want to know what bench YOU USE? What is your daily driver? With all your options, I want to know your preference, not just your in-depth review.
Generally I will defer to Rogue for a lot of stuff but man that Manta Ray is crazy expensive. And I'm not sure it's 2x as good as a Rep bench given it's almost 2x the price. This is coming from a pretty big Rogue fanboy.
Our top 3 daily users are The 4100 because it's all Wynie will take out, the Manta Ray, and the 5200 2.0. There's a ton of other good benches but hands down that's our top 3 based on what we need.
Our Titan bar review is probably still a little ways out so I can test all of them thoroughly enough but I feel like they're a little hit or miss.
Thanks for the watch! I appreciate that level of support. It means a lot to us!
I'm trying to do my research and I am between Rep AB4100 and Titan Series Adjustable. I am looking at the spec sheet on their site for Titian's bench and they seemed to have updated the product weight to 92 llbs. instead of the 120 lbs. listed in your video. I am torn between the two benches because I want something that is maneuverable for more people in my household but durable. The 30ish pound discrepancy/change on their site is also confusing me.
Can you review the Force USA Mybench? I feel like it has the best feature to price ratio out there.
When all else fails, copy a design that’s proven! 😝 here for you, not for Titan.
I wore your shirt on purpose 😜
It's a big family tree in this lineage of copying
Titan earning respect
I got a superbench with attachments but rep and titan almost got my money
Seat pad was backwards at 13:03 😂
Yeah. If you've watched enough of our videos you know I build these all with my son. It's fun but things done always go on right.
Texas Power Bar 29mm vs Rogue Westside Bar 29mm do a video on these
Thank you for the video. Im 6'4 and I would like to do seated leg curls using my athena wall mount pulley system.. need I high seat. And suggestion folks for a weight bench. P. S. I have a big but.
The Bench King® lives!
😊 He's getting sick of benches though 😂
Lots of great choices compared to just a few years ago!
We're very spoiled now
We need more Wynie in these videos though.
ADRIAN collects bench like pokemon. I choose you Titan Series Adjustable Bench GO! I just caught a version 2.0 iron master bench let me compare stats. Gotta catch them all.
Someone should've told him you can't catch them all 😢
Im torn between this and the Rep-4100. I like the build quality of the titan bench but the weight of the 4100. Which would you pick?
I'd go with the 4100 because my wife likes it so much. We move our benches a lot and the high hinge is another miner annoyance that make me pick the 4100. Titan's is a beefier bench but idk how much that matters to you.
Thanks so much for the quick response! One more question if that’s okay would you get the 4100 or the 5200 2.0? At this point isn’t trying to find the best long term option.
@@Remainunshaken I would get the 5200 2.0. It's my second favorite bench in my collection. It's a bit large and heavy but it's a great bench.
I have been on the fence between this and the AB-5200, and honestly I think for what I need, this is going to be my choice. I don't need/want decline so I may as well save the $100+ dollars.
To be clear the 5200 2.0 is the better of the two. It doesn't do anything Titan's doesn't (if you're not going to decline and don't care about finishes or a wide pad) but it's the more refined of the two. That being said this if you can get past the high hinge and moving it it's pretty solid.
@@GlucksGym
It’s not 1:1 though. This bench is half an inch shorter and the pad is 1/4 inch thicker with more cushion.
I’ve never used the 5200 but I’ve benched on 17.5” benches and it matters. I also get shoulder pain on the stiffer pads as the cushion helps keep my lats locked in better.
It’s personal preference, not Rep is objectively better.
(And yes I bought this day one after waiting for 2 years for someone to release an adjustable with these specs- and I love it)
Totally off subject - Just got one of those hyperextension things from Titan. I got it used on marketplace :)
Rogue had an AB 3.0 with the stainless ladder for $400 in the garage sale last week. Perks of being a local.
At that price I'd get over the pad 😂
Unfortunately I can't use this bench due to the limiting feature of only a 600 Ib incline capacity. When I incline bench 405 for reps, this bench would make me too nervous.
That’s all?
That’s what’s stopping me is the weight capacity 600 is not a lot when weight and body weight
I have a problem with adjustable benches being wobbly
REP still dont have any orange color benches, rack etc
I bought a "Titan Life" bench called "TITAN LIFE Adjustable Bench 400"
Then i realized these werent the same companies, Titan and Titan life are different. Have you tried Titan life adj benches? Hoping i didnt buy garbage
I'm leaning Rep AB 4100 because it weighs so much less. My wife is only 5 feet tall, so that is important. (Some of these benches outweigh her!)
Some of these things are ridiculous for sure
LOVE my REP AB-4100 and their customer service is fantastic! Titan is slowly improving but not quite there yet in most ways.
almost, almost admitted you have a problem with collecting benches. But no, it didn't happen.
The only problem is I need a few more 😂
How about the Prime Shorty Bench?
gluck is going to conceive his next child on an adjustable bench
😏😉
Wouldn’t be surprised if he did so with his last one. 😂
Titan hit a homerun
with this bench but because their name is Titan sadly this bench will be looked at as inferior to REP's benches. If it didn't have the name Titan on it and then it was revealed that Sorinex is the maker of this bench, then it would perceived as better than REP and equal to or better than Rogue, (not the Mantaray, as it's in a higher quality category) but because Titan is labeled on it, right off the bat people will think it's of lower quality. I'm included in those people, Titan is just not what I want to buy.
Sadly, Titan will never be perceived as equal in quality to REP, just as REP will never be perceived as equal to Rogue, no matter what any of the companies do, their quality levels are set in stone for now with Rogue no. 1, REP no. 2, Titan and BOS no. 3.
It will take a lot of time and a lot more pieces of new equipment to be made and improved on before any change occurs to the order of the companies as far as quality is concerned .
Titan waited too long before they put out any good quality pieces so they earned their name and now no matter what they do,, they will be thought of as 3rd place at best. BOS maybe 3rd and Titan might be 4th.
Perceivably, Titan is making better quality pieces and they are going backwards in the order on a quality list of companies.
Wonder how many people will not buy this bench because it has Titan laser cut and stitched all over it?

👑 First comment king
Put the Irwin Fitness AB 1.0 in your showdown
It's on the way 😊
I know these benches are superior in many ways, but would love to see the original Powertec bench - tripod from over 20 years ago now - get compared in the roundup.
Wack
My wife won't listen to me but when she sees your wife doing it then she's like "yeah we can buy that".
Hahahah my master plan is working!
Please take a look at the Keppi Bench5000 next, it seems like the best value option on the market on paper with a 1,600lb capacity, zero-gap feature, lots of angles, decline with leg holder included, and is typically on sale for $320 or less so I would really like to know how it stacks up!
Do the Vesta AB-3000. Same exact thing as Rogue AB 3.0 and Titan Titan AB but better pad than the rogue
Looks like a copy released by a few other suppliers. Just another copy paste job by titan for a bench that’s okay.
Review the griffin adjustable bench
Add GIANT F85 Adjustable Bench to your bench showdown
Horrible shirt
Agreed
@@BasementBrandon😂😂😂😂
I feel like this bench should get more praise.
The closest comparison should just be the 4100
For 50 more you’re getting a full size bench with a 300 lb increased weight capacity (flat).
With extra seat adjustments, that’s welded together rather than bolted, includes more UHMW than the 4100, has a grippier pad, more premium looking knobs and almost comes entirely assembled out of the box.
I don’t even own anything Titan but I feel like for 50 dollars more; that seems like a pretty substantial amount of upgrades.
I’m not knocking the 4100; it’s a excellent bench but if we were comparing it to every other bench
It delivers the specs of every comparable high end bench at a price as good as the best budget bench.
I’m sorry but fk man; throw a dog a bone. 🦴
Great job Titan.
If it’s less than $100 I’m in! Ohhhhhhhhh
