Rogue Equipment Owners - How Are The Benches?

We have a short ceiling basement with a 7' clearance. I'm already decided on the SML-1 squat rack and I'm gonna order some spotter arms, but I want a rock solid adjustable bench.

I don't mind spending the $500+ on one as long as it is truly sturdy. We're gonna place it on a flat concrete floor and I'm 235 lbs at 6'3".

Anybody have Rogue adjustable benches and near my size that can report on the sturdiness and non wobble?

I have Ironmaster and Repfitness bench. Can literally buy both of them for the cost of one Rogue bench. Ironmaster has the attachments and adjustability and Repfitness FB-5000 is considered the best flat bench on the market.

Some of us care about buying American if we can afford it. Also, phuck repfitness. Edit to say, not attacking you for buying it. I just am not a fan.

OP, I've got the 2.0. It's a good bench.

Thanks bro, also thanks to the other dude and his input. I actually love the fact that Rogue is American, I try to support American made when I can and believe in our steel and craftsmanship.

Is the 2.0 adjustable? Does the incline get as low as 30 degrees?

Yeah it is, but the lowest is 45. You'll have to go to the AB models to get 30*. I made an attachment for my bench to get 30* out of it, but most people don't want to drill into their expensive bench lol

Rogue gets their **** from China too. Almost all weights are made in China. The 4 post design is outdated and I would never go back after using 3 post. If you want American made sturdy bench then get the Prime Fitness bench. This is probably considered one of the best if not the best. Sorinex and Eleiko also have similar benches at the same price range as Rogue. One other one no one mentions is the Hoist Fitness bench. Has the ability to do Leg extension/curls on it

Rogue's benches are USA made and I know that not just because the website says so, I know because I've been in the facility in Columbus several times. Our company helped setup the phosphate baths for their pretreatment on the new powdercoating line.
