The WB5 is the Flybird bench now sold under the FED Fitness name, and FED says it was formerly the FB149. It is built for small spaces: the bench folds to 30.1 by 13 by 8.6 inches, and FED says assembly takes about 10 minutes. Despite the low price it has eight back pad angles, running from 90 degrees down to a -30 degree decline, and three seat angles, all set with a pop-pin. FED lists an 800 lb maximum weight capacity, an 18.5 inch bench height, a 30 inch backrest and a 15.7 inch seat pad. As of November 14, 2026, the regular price is $139.99, and the code BFCM15 brought it to $118.99, with free shipping, a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The footprint is only 13 inches wide and the pad gap is 2 inches, so heavy barbell pressing is better on a steel FID bench.
