hi

as above i am new to the fitness game. been going to my local gym for around 2 months now and i have decided to get a bench for my room as the weight section at the gym isnt so good.

space is also a problem so nothing wider than 120 cm

looking for a cheap bench no more than £80.

below are some examples of what i have found. i would like to know your views and opinion's on them and if you have any another benches that may intrest me

IMO, if you've got under 100quid then go for this,

Will do the basic job but, you're better of saving up a bit more and getting a more decent bench if you are serious about training.

thanks for that mate.

just not got the room just now for a bigger set up

Depends on what you lift. How much do you weigh mate? And how much do you bench? See the first bench is a max of 200 including user. So if your a big man, it wont help much, specially if you get stronger say six months down the line. Thats the main thing Id say you wanna look at buying a bench.

But yes that would be my choice! For the money you wanting to spend you cant expect too much! The padding will be thin and it wont feel top notch, if you know what I mean, but I got one almost like that at my house and it does me just fine! And your alot lighter than me, so dont think you'll have any probs!

thats the one i was really looking at at just because of the price. it doesnt decline though does that matter much?

It does mate! Same as mine, see that little stick thing its lying on, well that pulls out, and then you stick it back into one of the lower holes so it can go straight and decline!!

oh i see mate. because it didnt say in the advert i assumed it didnt decline. looks like i might buy that one then.

thanks very much for help mate

cheers

They all have small chests?

Have you not got a shed or garage ??

Tbh, I'd go for something more commercial,something what will last.

Im just setting up a gym in our area and I've been getting some great steals on Ebay.

But, then again, if your limited to room.

I WORK HARD BUT LIKE TO PLAY EVEN HARDER !!!

Too expensive. I think his choices are fine seeing as he is new to weightlifting. No point forking out 200quid and deciding 6months down the line you dont want to do it anymore.
