Best sites for weight benches?

brandon7 Posts: 89 Joined: 2004/05/18	2007/04/13, 01:28 PM Any suggestions for good places to buy weight benches online? I need one that will hold at least 300 lbs. of weights. Nothing fancy, just a basic bench. Adjustable to incline and decline. Maybe with a preacher pad also. Doesn't have to have a lat tower or anything. I've decided to try to sell this piece of crap Weider home gym I bought a while back. I'll have to eat a couple hundred bucks, but I think it's worth the investment. The only time I've ever stuck with weightlifting was with free weights several years ago when I trained for over a year. I've tried everything and you just can't beat them. But I'm sure you all know that. Anyway... any suggestions for good sites would be greatly appreciated. I've poked around a little on Sears.com and found one for about 160 bucks that holds 310 lbs. (Bench only), and a 300 lb olympic weight set with rubber casings for 220 bucks. Is that pretty much the going rate, or are there better deals out there? Thanks in advance.

They seem to have some pretty good products/prices. -------------- My Catahoula did it. I saw a book titled \"Sex for Dummies\" and wondered why anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?

Give all of the gyms in your area a call and see if they have anything they may be getting rid of, and offer to take it off their hands.
