The purpose of this bench is to encourage the press!!👍
Npc
I found one of these for free at my local bus stop.
Lol
Those damn freeloaders don't fucking need it. If tax payers have to pay for public transit they can fucking wait for it on their feet.
Me too the bums wear useing it😊
instablaster
xD
After I get this, all I'll need to complete my setup is a SS power rack. Solid red oak of course. I'm going full amish.
I made a wood power rack. Been using it for a year now.
@@marka9292 can you adjust safety heights?
How about a wooden bar bell? That's how they used to lift back in the days. And none of that silly soft, cushioning bumper plate nonsense. Solid blocks of wood on the ends of a broom stick is the way to go.
@@skullkid112 yes totally. It has all the features of a steel rack, except its quiet when you bump it. It has adjustable j hooks, safety bars, band pins, and I had a lat pull attachment but I took it off and mounted it to the ceiling.
@@marka9292 impressive
I benched on a homemade wood bench for years. Thousands of reps. Its not uncomfortable at all and is actually much better in alot of ways. Similar to wearing hard soles vs squishy to squat in. Not sure why people think its a joke. That bench is beautiful. With that said, its too pricey for me. Plus I can make one just as nice and sturdy for about a third what their charging.
Yeah, i completly preffer a bench that is more sturdy. One gym i went to had a bench with such thick cotton that i fucking bounced up and dowm while benchibg.
RIP as furniture salesman, love it!
It’s not the first of April
When the winter is at its deepest and the calories run low, I can always use it as firewood or to barricade the door of the cabin to keep polar bears out. Sturdy product, not cheap, and buying one keeps the lights burning at Witchita Falls Athletics Club. Recommended.
I can't tell if Rip really completely lost it or his trolling game is just so tight we can't even detect it.
Григорий Шаханов funniest comment here
Will match the branch I use for my barbell.
these comments have me dying... lmao
SS Amish Bench 240 bucks VS Rogue Flat Utility Bench 2.0 180 bucks.
*As seen on the Flintstones.
There once was an old Texas coach
Who said lay on this Piece of Red Oak
It’s a few inches short
To provide full support
But that’s big enough for some folk
Garage Gym Reviews did a review on this bench, and they thought it was okay... except for the splinters from the underside when moving it and the threat of tetanus when the metal starts to rust. Obviously the bench is made for tough guys who are up to date on all their shots.
This infomercial does make me wonder what's coming next from the Starting Strength Product department? "Introducing the Starting Strength Squat box made from rock." No, wait. It is a rock. Just a rock. But it's elemental, beautiful and so solid you could set your car on it.
xD
like hell rip is gonna encourage box squats
In the blue book, Mark, you said you used automobile upholstery for the bench. The upholstery also reduced slippage. Why isn't the SS bench more like that?
next level trolling from senpai
xD
I've been floor pressing on a tile floor. I bet a wood bench would feel like a nice change even without the pad
in previous video about building a home gym you said to get a 12” bench, and any other dimension is less useful...but now you say it’s critical that it’s 10” wide....which is it?
He told me I’d be a lifter at 400lb, reached this target, low and behold Rip up and states in another vid, I won’t be a lifter until I’m moving 500lb.... I’m beginning to think Rip hates me.....Only 73 more pounds to go, 2021 here I come....
first signs of retirement
that flag is the best flag i have ever seen
I love it teespring.com/stores/starting-dank
metallica reference?
"Search your soul for a minute" lol. Nice to see RIP move into the equipment market
A lot of people complaining about the shoulder soreness from using a wood bench aren't taking into account that it's also narrower than a standard bench.
I'm curious what was edited out of the video at 3:30 when Rip was talking about guys needing pads...
I got my 'rock solid bench' from the set of the Flintstones movie...real men are carved out of stone.
Omar needs to review this bench!
Nice bench, but where can I buy the flag?
I like my benches with nails sticking up out of it too !
Why would you want to bench on a slippery surface like that
To feel alive.
@@ScottO84 I'm sold
To end bridging.
You wouldn't. My gyms assistant manager is a disciple of Rip and WASTED the gyms money on one of these. It's narrow as fuck so your lats hang off the side rather than form a solid base, it's slick as hell if you use ANY legdrive you slip right off, it's heavy and awkward to move (particularly in a commercial environment). I'm honestly surprised he didn't loose his job over the acquisition as it now sits in the lobby as a bench to sit on rather than the gym for actual use. It's solid and well made for a sitting bench, but it is an absolute abomination for exercise.
@@brandoncheek2597 I bet if you got it wrapped in some thick leather, it would be an outstanding bench.
It's wood because you shouldn't be benching, you should be doing the shoulder press (or push press)
*Standing upright military overhead shoulder OHP
@@Whitefang8128 I see what you did there
Now that is handsome bench.
I have a fat bench. I hate it. If I lived in the states, I'd already own this damn beautiful wood chunk.
I've built and used a solid wood bench before. Without a pad It WILL be uncomfortable when the weights get heavy
@Big Master yeah bois are always uncomfy
@Big Master seems like someone hasn't made his transition to a man yet!
Probably puts a pad on the barbell for squats too.
LOL! THAT LIBETERIAN FLAG IN BACKGROUND HAHA
I have this flag in my gym. Added fahve pounds to each lift
teespring.com/stores/starting-dank
Gadsden
It's not a "libeterian" flag. Jesus. The Tea Party, mostly conservative and not libertarian, is primarily responsible for re-introducing this revolutionary war flag.
It's a plank of wood with some brackets...
What's the matter? Rip is a huge libertarian, participates in his local party and supports Crossfit's openly libertarian viewpoint. As he says, understanding that you are responsible for your own fitness makes you mindful of your ability to also be responsible for your own future.
When I first started back lifting I made my own bench out of wood, much like this one but without the steel legs, and not out of this beautiful red oak a d, obviously, without the logo
At the time I purchased the material to make the bench, I also purchased material to pad it
That material, and the batting that I bought to provide cushion, was never placed on the bench, and IMO, it was far superior to any bench I ever used in a commercial gym
I haven't seen anybody so full of himself.
You must be new here
@@Evolvedpants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rip has changed a lot since SS first edition. SS is like a cult now and he's the cult leader. He has his loyal band of followers to lick his boots and it's gone to his head. It's too bad because SS is what got me into lifting to begin with and it's sad to see it actually devolving into this shit.
Does the 17" height include the OAK plank? So frame has to be 15" if the plank is 2"?
I feel this bench is a representation of how SS coaches treat their athletes
10 inches fit everybody - Mark Rippetoe
$240+tax and shipping for zero shoulder support. Disappointing.
idiot fuck off to planet fitness
completely missed the point lmao
komo06 of it being an overpriced novelty item? Someone is still going to try and use this and tear themselves up. "lmao"
@Corey Lambrecht maybe when you get your bench out of poverty status you'll appreciate a quality bench instead of a 10" wide plank
Lol....Corey LamREKT
wont we get splinters on our backs with this thing?
yeah no thanks
What a brilliant idea for selling vintage furniture!
All respect sir, but when you say “if you can’t do your 5 reps without a pad, etc” it demonstrates you aren’t listening to your customers. It’s not so much a pad we want, it’s the grip. For $240, customers would expect the product to include the features they want, not be convinced of features they don’t need. I don’t need to be able to put my car on my bench, and I don’t need to spend $240 on a block of wood on some steel tubing.
Also, in many of the comments, those that have “searched their soul” and don’t mind benching on wood have already made one or say it’s too expensive.
Looks uncomfortable as fuck and you’ll probably slip so hard on this thing you’ll slip into another dimension
The woodwork is do beautiful.
It do.
It’s literally just a plank
Buy my bench, because it's so beautiful! Oh, and "you can set your car on this thing!"
when trump tax cuts aren't enough and bills got be paid
Why do they not use an adjustable benches?
Izzy Mandelbaum said sleeping on this bench would stiffen the spine. I have a weak back.
M A N D E L B A U M!
I hope he is still doing Strong Man reverse car pull training.
Is this bench in the video stained?
4:25 about a piece of wood! Oratory master!
Without the pads you can bench more because the force will not be reduced by the plats-plats of the pad.
Agree. I have this bench and when I bench on padded ones, I struggle to set my back correctly since my shoulders blades sink in and I cannot feel my position very well. Great bench actually that I finally splurged for recently for the garage gym.
Who's buying this!!! Not me
No one except the SS franchise gym owners. Why would you buy a 10 inch wide plank of wood when you can have a Rogue bench for $60 less? Makes no sense.
a MAN's bench.
Every time mark says benches i hear bitches and i cant stop laughing
Edit: 1:06
This product is a joke, right? Any leg drive would send you flying off the end. Old man has lost his mind if this is an actual product for sale.
I’m still waiting for the starting strength kettlebell and trap bar. Hurry up ok. I can’t wait any longer to make super gainz.
240$ ..
I can get 3 proper benches for that money.
EZ Assegai wait it’s 240$. Lol
EZ Assegai plus handling$ and shipping$
Nice pfp lmao stay based bro
I love this. Great bench. Now we need Omar surfclam to do a bench review
They said it wooden sell.
Love it. Exactly as I would build it. Raw steel and hardwood.
LOL at "beautiful piece of furniture." I need gym equipment, not a coffee table.
As soon as I can afford one... and the rack too!
I'd buy that for a dollar
Great bench.
How dare anyone question my superior intellect? Lol
Bench, are you kidding? I'm going to use this for my coffee table!
Interesting and beautiful .......but I'd say if comp benches where made from wood I'd practice on wood. Just a thought.
it really looks like piece of wood
🙂 looks like a bench from a locker room but this one has really nice wood, uhm will you be Autographing them? ✌️😏
Beautiful bench but I don't have room for a dedicated flat bench.
I want one
expensive, but it really is a beautiful bench. if money was no object, i’d love one
It’s not even an expensive bench... Maybe it’s 40 more than the entry level bench from Rogue, the dimensions of which are far too wide at 13”. Can you bench at 13”? Probably, but many will find their mobility during the bench is limited to the point where they’re compensating slightly, and may even have such a limited range of motion that they’re effectively doing a floor press from an elevated position and being charged good money for this imposed modification.
@@Vesi9000 my bench is some generic folding bench with adjustable incline and decline. the feet and padding are a bit annoying, because i can never be sure it’s 100% level. i assume it’s 12 or 13 inches, whatever the most common dimension is, given that it was cheap (though not the very cheapest, i made sure to get one rated for 600 pounds, while others were rated for far less)
@@Vesi9000 just checked it now, and interestingly, the bench is actually 10 inches also. i’m considering buying a new bench though, mainly due to the potential imbalance and also some spooky amazon reviews regarding failure below its rated capacity
@@TedMan55 I use the rogue adjustable bench 2.0, which is one of the best benches I’ve ever used. If I were just aiming for flat stuff, I’d 100% give this one a try. Avoid the rogue flat bench. It’s too wide and it’s terrible as a result despite the positive reviews.
With a surface so slippy how would one go about using GREEEP DRAIHVE?
best. commercial. ever.
"search your soul"
I'm an atheist living in Tokyo, but by I swear to God I just might move to Texas just to build myself a home gym according to Rip's specs.
TomAndValkyrie *looks at channel*
“2 girls one gaijin”
“Marriage material in Japan”
“Love poetry”
“Sad and lonely in Japan”
Lmaaoooooooo
Just have the stuff built for you by a fabricator in Japan, it'll probably cost you half as much as buying it from SS too
Damn rip, $312 with shipping. I ordered it because I'm too lazy to make one myself, sure hope it's good
@Corey Lambrecht GarageGymReviews recently did a review.
Even rip sold out. smh :(
He has always been about " narrowcasting" and "getting big and strong " .Now he talks about the "small person" and "yes it slips a little bit but it teaches positioning" lmao get outta here.
Simple, hard and expensive.
@@ozankoksal9244 Muh padding! Muh padding! Muh back hurts!
Sissy.
Comments section hilarious
10” fits everybody 🤔 that’s what she said!
I see people slipping and sliding on it and it making pressure points on the upper back
TUBOW 2.0
It would be better without the logo.
How else would they make some money off of it ??
David, are you suggesting the logo is the only good thing about this bench?
But then it’s just a block of wood lol!
reignator No; the logo makes no apparent difference in terms of performance, but it will in terms of profit & advertising. That’s what I meant.
Billy Mays, Anthony Sullivan, Ron Popeil, The “Slap-Chop” Guy and now.....Rip!!
LOL!! @1sec *video starts* "Ya know,I'm a little bit tyred" 😂
Lmao!! It's been awhile hearing couch Rip speak and what a good way to start again.
Wait...this is an actual product for sale? It's not a joke? I'd use this to change my shoes at the door and not much else. No, I take that back...I'd chop some veggies on it because, butcher block.
Really?!
#functiontraining
IMO it would have been better to powdercoat or at least paint the steel. The raw steel basically says "we're lazy".
...u shouldn't drink...
I think it's called a piece of wood
I am beyond confused at this...
it certainly will stop leg drive.. huge ugly arches..and inching your shoulder blades together ...
“You can put your car on this bench!”
Prove it! Bet you won’t!
Let me guess. You're narrowcasting this. Amirite?
Just stop talking in depth about a shitty bench, nobody cares lol
Hahaha.... Awesome!
This April Fool's joke is beautiful.
Hea... Oak DRAVE!
This a good shitpost
hhahahahahahaha
ok if you pay me 240 $ i'll take it , maybe
