Where to buy

lewdog_55 Posts: 383 Joined: 2002/01/23	2002/06/17, 09:00 PM I need to buy some new equipment. Such as a new bench and new plates. Anyone have any ideas as to where to shop.(stores or internet) Here is a cool bench that i saw and think it would fit my needs pretty good. http://bigfitness.com/weigbenbrols.html

Anyway shipping on it is free but did you notice that the shipping on the 300lb weight set is $101... ouch.. i'm betting you could probably get a 300lb olympic weight set for less than $260 in town (cost + shipping).. look around at fitness places like dicks sporting goods.. maybe a local mall or.. well anywhere that might sell weights... a lot of places (at least around here) usually won't carry a bench like that though.. so you'd probably have to get it online if you had your heart set on it...

I am going to look in town this week but the big state of MONTANA doesnt have much to offer. Yeah I also like all the different things on the bench too. Sometimes you just find something and it sticks to you. I have no idea how the quality is and what brands I should be looking for

I have a weider bench and I hate it.. rickty thing... but then again its pretty old and served its purpose well.. hasn't fallen over yet.. I'll probably be looking into something better soon too.. only thing I would say is avoid any bench that has the stupid extensions for doing lying flyes.. mine were such crap and got in the way when I benched... I'm not sure what anyone else thinks but I took mine off and never looked at them again...

I think it was like 500$ for a nice weider bench and a 300lb set of olympic weights. I THINK that was the price. It might've been cheaper. -------------- Practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice does.
