Replacement for flat/incline bench

zak786 Posts: 183 Joined: 2005/03/25	2005/09/09, 06:45 PM Hi, I was wondering of buying a bench as it's so necesarry but i dont have space and it costs alot also. So I was wondering if there were anyway u cld imitate a flat or incline bench rather than using the floor. I'd be really grateful to hear any productive ideas.
