Good bench?

[Rynomxer147]

Im looking at this bench at sports authority for $300 and i was gonna buy a 300lb olympic set and dumbells i currently have a treadmill and a 3 station home gym so im just looking to add onto that. Just looking for some advice on what else i should get.

I think you should compare it with this:

By the way Powertec just redesign this bench to include a lat & chin station, so perhaps some fitness store may sold the old version (the one on that link) at discount price (closer in $ to your bench, but perhaps more solid, stable).

I think the one you are showing will lack bench adjustment, as you do leg extension, the footpost will tend to rub the floor (less stable, when compare to the Powertec which has the leg extension in mid air). Also seat & back padding look better on the Powertec.

Anyway, something for you to consider (difference in price might be worth it).
