    What FID bench do you have?

    Looking to get a bench but not sure on what to get yet. Just want to see what you guys are using in your home gyms. Thanks.

    This is a loaded question.

    Benches have been discussed, ad nauseum, on this forum. There is everything from cheap to nice home units to commercial quality.

    I would recommend a search. Here's a starting point:

    Another good resource for researching benches is the bench wiki. It's what I used earlier this year when searching for a bench. There's a row of pictures at the bottom and I was able to eliminate more than a few right off the bat by just looking at them. (One of my criteria was that the bench not have a non-removable leg hold-down.)

    speedos rock, man.
    They work well with the ladies....especially when you put a nice sized cucumber down the front.

    Just remember to put it in the front though. Placing the cucumber in the rear strangely has some pretty adverse effects with the ladies (well, with everyone, really.).
