Status: offline 		I'm looking for a cheap bench that has a barbell holder, and also something I can do leg extensions on...Is this one any good?




It's the cheapest on I can find, but it looks fairly sturdy etc.


Do you think it will be easy to do other free weight exercises on it, such as dumbell press etc, or do you think extra parts such as the barbell holder will get in the way?

Only reason I ask is because I got a bar the other day that my weights don't fit onto...

Status: offline 		I'm looking at a different bench now and just want to ask the same question, will my York cast iron weights fit onto it? I decided to get one that could do inclines like war lord said.


Here's the link - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310050338436&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123

I want to buy this todaay really so if anyone can get back to me on it quickly that'd be great!

The seller of the bench in the post above says it can be used with 'standard weights'.

Are york cast iron discs classed as standard weights? Also, does it look like a fairly ok bench?

I need to get a bench as soon as possible but need some feedback first, because I don't really know what I'm looking for...
