The Rep AB-5200 is a Better Option For Most Than the Rogue Adjustable Bench 2.0

A solid adjustable bench is the best option for much of the home gym population. Most are beefier and easier to use than FID options and much more versatile than a flat bench. The Rep AB-5200 and 2.0 from Rogue are two of the best options out there. However, the AB-5200 is a better option for most. Why?

• Neither are small, but the AB-5200 is several inches longer than the Rogue 2.0. This is especially helpful if you are over 6 feet tall.
• The AB-5200 is more comfortable. The pad is just a tad softer (and grippier), but still extremely firm. It’s also .75″ WIDER.
• The AB-5200 can be stored vertically, saving quite a bit of space when not in use. The 2.0 does not have this ability. For home gym owners, this is HUGE.
• 7 pad adjustments (5200) vs. 6 (2.0). The Rep includes a cage with the ladder design and also feels a bit smoother when adjusting.
• The 2.0 may be a litttttttle bit more stable, but the 5200 still has very little budge.
• The 5200 is $100 cheaper. It is not made in the USA while the Rogue one is though
• Both are phenomenal benches.
