So for the last week I have been loooking at getting a Olympic benchpress putting it in my garage. Been to dicks few other places they feel cheap. Been reading about valor fitness the reviews and the sheer weight of it impresses me a little pricey 399.00 just bench and rack I have a rouge bar and 10 45 pound plates . What's your pick or what's done you have used just want to feel secure when 450 is on the bar want it solid

What's a big strong boy like you gonna do with 10 45# plates? Curls?
I know you mentioned your max spending below and this is over but I just saw this set up the other day. Looks sick. I'm sure you could build one cheaper.

AnonCraigslist ;)
So I went to a local metal fabrication shop .. all box tubing frame welded priced it for 250.. they are even going to weld up a back and I can take it to the apolstier woman all said I will have less than 350 in it. Only down fall it doesn't come apart but it's ok with me
Testrogen_PropC...On a budget I think that's the best option brother, other than buying used. With bench press setups you definitely get what you pay for. Mine is a POS so luckily the ones at my gym are pretty decent lol
bigmurphGoto a metal shop and have them build you one. They can weld it to the specs you need. I did this when I was young best bench I ever had if its not in a landfill someone I guarantee is still using it.
Your a good sized guy in height and weight also im sure you bench alot also store bought bench max out at 6-800lbs what they can build could hold up more than enough

Maxx bench, if money isn't an issue. Perfect for training alone.
Didn't wanna spend over 400
Yeah, that one runs about 1400. Lol
Try to buy a used one from your gym?
GnarkillVery true about a used one from your gym my gym sells older shit all the time and for a awesome deal
GnarkillOh and Craigslist bro
A lot of nice bowfkex stuff on there one could get first cheap
GnarkillBow flex and shake weights all day get you yoked lol
Why you got to be hating on shake weights? That's 90% of my arm routine. :-/
GnarkillMine to bro
Them bitches with the shake weights late at night it's almost porn on tv
GnarkillIf you sign up at dicks with your email you get 20%off your first purchase at least where I live they do 399 is about the price youbwill get everywhere the ones I was looking at around the 400 price was really solid also dicks has a credit card if your credit is good enough pay 25 bucks a months don't order online either cause my wife did and I laughed my ass off when her weight bar got here it was like a child's toy
Maybe it was the one I was at but my local dicks didn't have a big selection lot of low grade ones . I can get fabricated for under 400 and he said it would hold 3000 pounds lol don't need that much but feel better if it did
GnarkillLmfao 3k I'd go for 400 hundred that will last forever I'd get that
I would go with the fabricated one get built just for you spec it exactly how you want
I see you have a rogue bar they make some quality benches also??
See the price damn lol I was looking around no more that 400
Yeah they are a bit pricey
I'd get a solid cage w/combo pull up bar and an adjustable bench. You can do a lot more with that combo.
If I can't find what I need or want there's a metal fabrication shop down the road that would make it I looked into that about a year ago
Yeah but I only want sone purpose machine just s flat bench
If your willing to search craigslist. You can probably get a really good on a used commercial grade gym bench. Find a cybex or nautilus bench. Those things were solid. When it comes to some of the gym equipment newer is not always better.
I remember those nautilus they was solid
