Need a bench that will last a lifetime!
Hi. I don't know if it's better to just get a incline/flat bench or if you could get a really good incline/flat/decline bench. I need one that's going to last a life time and a one time purchase. My max is 1000$ & it's for my power rack. Any help would be appreciated! I tried searching for answers already but the threads were really old.

You could try Atlantis in Montreal. http://www.atlantisstrength.com/
Otherwise you will have to wait for a used commercial bench in your area.
Your location limits you for shipping costs.[]---[] Equipment crew member #51 []---[]

Check out Driven Fitness in Edmonton, not sure what benches they sell but the stock Ivanko bars and plates so they must have good benches.Originally Posted by scotthewko

I'm not sure I could deal with the pad gap using it as a flat bench.Originally Posted by scotthewko

Jesus. Nice bars but $600 for power bar and $450 for ez curl. Makes me feel like a cheap ass for spending 250$ for both at fitness depot. Lol apparently still olympic barsOriginally Posted by maltralson

Hardly.Originally Posted by oldschoolifter
It's only 11 gauge steel.
The pad gap is large enough to hide a family of illegal immigrants.
The front foot is so large cars driving past my house would have to slow down to negotiate it.
For $1100 there are many better benches available.

It comes down to personal preference and for me it's either the Legend 3-way or Legend 4-way bench.

I have legend 3 way. I had a different bench with the fat bottom pad and didn't like it. And during the years I had a commerical gym membership I almost never used the decline bench.

The AB-2 would be my choice, best bench I ever used.
Wish Rogue would update their pictures on their site to show the changes they made to it as well. The new handle is awesome.
