help buying a weight bench please

[yeayead]

I need a bench for bench presses, preferably one that can decline. Problem is I don't know where to get one, either online or in a store.

Online they never list the weight the rack could hold. Just the bench total. I'm really only looking to spend 200 including bar and weights.


advice?

What weight capacity do you need?

For $200 including bench, bar and weight, Craigslist is your best option and your not going to be able to be real particular. If you not sure then post what items your thinking about here and members will help you.

Check Craigslist.

I'm guessing I need something that goes up to like 150, I'm 5'5' and I weigh 130 and I'm in decent shape.


I've been looking at allot one ones on walmart.

walmart golds standard bench this only holds 110 pounds in the barbell rack, and I only know that because someone posted it. the website never gives the capacity.

This one looks sturdy but I can't know for sure

golds olympic bench. this one looks a bit more sturdy but the reviews worry me. and for 200 dollars I would like a bench that could at least decline more than 2 inches.


sorry can't post links yet

The Marcy or Impex items you linked to aren't any better

Seriously with the budget of $200 total you might be better off starting a Craigslist search for a quality flat bench and standard adjustable dumbbells. Either way Craigslist is your best shot.
