    Image 3.0 Bench Press

    Does anybody know anything about this equipment? I found a bench with 300lb steel weight, straight 45 pound bar, E-Z curl bar, and a few random dumbbells for $150 bucks. The bench looks solid, but I literally cant find anything on it.

    Who care it is only a bench press so you don't want it anyways. The rest of the stuff is probably worth the $150 though so buy it post the bench by itself for 50-75 and come out ahead.

    Actually, I care. That's why I posted. I want a decent bench and want to know if this is a solid buy. I'm not looking for a profit, and I know how much the weights are worth. I want to make a purchase and be done with it. I dont care enough to make myself 50 bucks, and then go back out and buy another bench.

    Does anyone else know anything about this bench?

    Thing is unless you are a competitive power lifter who wants a competition style bench press at home to practice with you don't want a bench press.

    You want a power rack and a separate bench to lift safely with.

    Snagging a full 300 pound set for 75 bucks or less is a great deal.

    The bench is made by Icon fitness, they have never, ever, made a decent piece of equipment so I would say it is junk not worth owning even if you were foolish enough to put a bench press in your home gym.
