I am a huge fan of the AB5200. After using a ton of different flat and adjustable benches over the years this one takes the care for the build quality, value and price even compared to benches almost twice its price. I am 6'1" and I can fit completely on the top pad which is great because it make the gap a non-issue. The pad material is firm yet grippy and has just the right amount of give. My primary training goals revolve around powerlifting and this bench supports those efforts perfectly. Some will say the bench is too heavy but that has never been a problem for me. Lately, there has been a trend to make benches into ecosystems that connect to lots of attachments. While I can see problem it solves for some home gym owners, I haven't felt tempted one bit to move on from my AB5200.
