We combined the best features from our top benches to create the ultimate, high-quality, adjustable, flat-incline-decline bench, the BlackWing™ adjustable bench. This heavy-duty bench includes our redesigned, patented ZeroGap® technology that is easier than ever to use. Slide the seat forward and backward to eliminate the gap between the seat and back pad in all positions. A closed ladder system along the back pad allows for 12 easy and secure angle adjustments, ranging from -8 to 85 degrees. This bench is also compatible with the Leg Roller Attachment, so you can secure your legs for additional exercises. The adjustable seat pad, with six angles, uses a new, patent-pending design that combines the ease of a ladder design with the security of a pop-pin when moving the seat up. Pick between standard-width pads or 14” wide pads for more shoulder support. Both pads are made from our new, extra grippy, dense CleanGrip™ material.
The BlackWing™ is compliant with IPF competition height standards and is built for great leg drive for all lifters. The heavy-duty bench is made with 11-gauge steel, can handle 1,000lbs, and features improved front and rear feet for increased stability. Grooved, rubber feet help keep the bench in place, while protecting the floor. The BlackWing™ is topped off with high-end finishes, such as a cut-out REP logo on the ladder, stainless-steel finished handles, and a laser-cut mountain logo on the front foot. When you are done with your workout, the space-saving design allows the bench to be stored in an upright position, taking up only 3.1SQFT of space, featuring an integrated, metal storage stand with a protective, plastic liner. A horizontal, knurled, stainless-steel handle makes the bench still very maneuverable at 131lbs. The BlackWing™ was designed in Denver, CO, and is protected by one or more issued and/or pending patents.

ZeroGap® Technology
Redesigned to be more user-friendly, our patented ZeroGap® technology allows you to slide the seat forward and backward to eliminate the gap between the seat and back pad in all positions - especially nice when benching flat. -
RATCHETING SEAT
The BlackWing™ uses a patent-pending, ratcheting system to easily adjust the angle, as well as securely lock it in with a pin. This design allows you to quickly change the angle of the seat by simply lifting on the seat pad - no need to pull the pin. Use the pop-pin to adjust the angle back down. -
CLOSED LADDER
The closed ladder design keeps the ladder securely in place when adjusting the bench and when storing it vertically. -
VERTICAL STORAGE
The BlackWing™ was designed for compact vertical storage, only taking up 3.1SQFT of space, and it includes an integrated, metal storage stand with a protective, plastic liner. -
LEG ROLLER COMPATIBILITY
A built-in receiving post on the BlackWing™ back frame can be used with the optional Leg Roller Attachment to create additional exercise options for core work and decline presses, as well as Nordic hamstring curls. (Attachment sold separately.) -
HEAVY-DUTY FID BENCH
The BlackWing™ is a stable, heavy-duty, flat-incline-decline bench with 12 different back pad angles and six seat pad angles. This provides 72 combinations to hit the perfect rep. And with the capacity to handle 1,000lbs, it's ready for your next PR.

We combined the best features from our top benches to create the ultimate, high-quality, adjustable, flat-incline-decline bench. This heavy-duty bench includes our redesigned, patented ZeroGap® technology that is more user-friendly. The closed ladder system along the back pad allows for 12 easy and secure angle adjustments, ranging from -8 to 85 degrees. This bench is also compatible with our Leg Roller Attachment to create additional exercise options. Secure your legs on the roller for steeper presses and core training, or insert it upside down to do Nordic hamstring curls. When you are finished with your workout, the space-saving design allows the bench to be stored in an upright position.
Originally, the adjustment piece for the ZeroGap® technology was directly beneath the pad. The new design puts the pin on the side of the pad, so it’s easier to adjust. The BlackWing™ also includes an updated, metal spring pin for a more premium feel.
For adjustments, we suggest sliding the seat pad all the way out to the max gap, adjusting the back pad to the desired angle, and then adjusting the seat pad back to the proper placement, so there is no gap.
Whether you choose the standard or wide pad, this bench falls within International Powerlifting Federation height and length requirements. However, if you pick the wide pad, that does not adhere to IPF width. According to the IPF Rule Book a bench must fall within the following specifications:
Length: Minimum of 1.22m (~48”)
Width: Between 29-32cm (~11.4-12.6”)
Height: Between 42-45cm (~16.5-17.7”)
Yes, the BlackWing™ was designed for vertical storage, so you can save space (only 3.1SQFT). It features an integrated, metal storage stand with a protective, plastic liner.
The BlackWing™ has two pad options: standard or wide. They both feature our new CleanGrip™ material.
The standard pad falls within all IPF specifications, including width. Choose this if you want a competition-compatible bench pad. In addition, smaller lifters may find a wide pad limits their full range of motion when benching, so they might benefit from a standard pad.
A wide pad is ideal for lifters with broader shoulders and people who want more shoulder support or have shoulder restrictions. A wide pad can also simulate a floor press, without having to go on the floor.
A mild dish detergent and water are the best cleaning agents for poly-vinyl pads. Use a sponge or clean cloth and soapy water to wipe to remove dirt and sweat from the vinyl. The CleanGrip™ material is grippy enough to shred a paper towel, so use cloth instead.
The BlackWing™ should arrive to you in two boxes: one box for the selected color frame of the bench and another box for the selected size bench pads.
