I agree, get a power rack (powertec, bodysolid, ...)
A good bench (www.ironmaster.com)
A 300 lbs olympic set

if you are definitely going to get one of these two, then i would say the second one. that first one looks like something from the 80s.
supplements- whey protein, special two vitamin, amino fuel, NO Xplode, Tren Xtreme, Mass Xtreme, liver detoxifier and support, p5p, Reversitol, Met-RX Big 100 meal replacement bars, and lots of calories!

First check the weight restrictions on both... I'm guessing the York will be rated at 350-400lbs.. which after you subtract your own weight, ain't really that much safety leeway.
I just bought a bench... great bench, great deal, 600lbs rated... sold it two days after I bought it for exactly what I paid for it. Why? I'm getting a power rack. If you possibly can afford it and have the room, go for the rack. With anything else you will find your options limited and yourself becoming frustrated after a while. I was insanely hardcore about just using DB's, a flat bench and a pullup bar for 2 years... I'm finally going to follow everyone's advice and get a rack. Save yourself a lot of frustration and just go for the rack if you can... if not join a gymMy Transformation

I had that first one several years ago... wouldn't recommend it. It's a beginner's set that gets really rickety after a bit of use... you have to constantly re-tighten and balance the bench. Plus the bar that comes with it is somewhat short, so getting a wide grip is almost out of the question. Perhaps they've improved the design since I had it... but I wouldn't risk it.
The second set looks much stronger and much more sturdy. Otherwise I would side with the group and get a power rack if you're looking at buying equipment. However, why not just get a gym membership??Shut up and train. - ANIMALPAK.com

Don't get a smith machine.
Get something like that, freeweights exercises are far better.

it takes alot of dedication to look like that guy in the third pic you posted. my advice, if you wanna look like him, stick to freeweights, compound exercises, and alot of ab work. i assume that since you claim you are a dancer, that a good part of your cardio could come from that. to be totally cut up like that guy takes cardio and a diet that is very structured. make sure you get all this lined up and be patient and you can eventually attain your goal. nothing comes overnight.
