Looking for a new bench
ad
Hi All,
I think it's time to upgrade my current bench. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've been checking a ton of commercial grade benches online and I'd prefer some solid recommendations (links would be nice!).
I really only need something solid that I can incline, decline and flat bench. I have a flat bench for dumbbells, so this is for my standard benching.
Thanks!

Ok - so here's the only thing I've found that does the full spectrum of Decline to Incline:

Looks to be solid (and BFS has always sold heavy duty equipment IMO).
There are quite a few options in the utility bench range but cost roughly the same amount as above and don't do decline:

I can personally vouch for the commercial york line and roguefitness equipment - really solid, commercial quality and built to last. Not sure if any of this is in your budget, but all quality pieces.
There's always New York Barbells which a lot more budget friendly - but IMO the quality control is not consistent: http://newyorkbarbells.com/benches1.html
Hope this helps you out!
Man your awesome! I really like the Olympic 4 in 1. It's in my price range. I realize that if I want something good, it's going to cost decent coin. I really appreciate you taking the time to post the links. I'm most likely going to pull the trigger on it this week.
Thanks again!
Great to hear, Glad I could help!
(I'm an equipment whore and I love looking at this stuff)
Craigslist used to be a good place to find great deals - but you really need to watch it like hawk, because the stuff is gone in an instant.
are you looking for a stand alone bench (w/ uprights) or an adjustable bench that you can use inside of a power rack?
Hey - I'm not sure...like I could go either way. The base requirement is to flat, decline and incline bench. But I'm not against upgrading to be able to use a power rack
