Yeah, I pointed him to it because it looks like it's exactly the same as the slightly more expensive Adidas-branded one, which I used to own and eventually sold to @tdood if I remember correctly. It was plenty sturdy for even a larger lifter doing some dumbbell work. No play in it at all with ~450-500 total lifter + bar weight for the years it was in my possession. I upgraded to a Legend 3103, which I think was at least in part due to your influence, @mgil and which is most likely outside the OP's budget.

The Rep Fitness bench is a really solid choice. Literally and figuratively.

Really ironic you mentioned this. The night before it went on sale I ordered same bench through Amazon for 129. Thinking I was really smart because it was more expensive on Titan site ( at that time any way ). Silly me. I like rep but the shipping is expensive and unpredictable. Amazon cheap and predictable.bobmen10000 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 9:16 am Titan Fitness SINGLE POST COMPETITION FLAT BENCH - FLASH DEAL - $119.97 -- One Day Only (today 1-28-2021) for the deal.

Not as a nice as the rep 3000 but potentially much cheaper when you figure in free shipping.
Rep will have better qc but lately they have let a lot of shitty welds get through based on garagegyms facebook page, so am not sure if quality is likely to be better than Titan.
Even though you bought it through Amazon send Titan a message. I bet they will give you something, worst case scenario points to make another questionable purchase from them.oldguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 12:06 pmReally ironic you mentioned this.

Nice bench but one of threads on front foot is f’d up. Normal times , I’d call for a swap but I’ll just get a nut and put in hollow section to secure it.
