Do you have just the bench? Do you have a bar, plates, etc.... ?

You don't have many limitations with what you have as far as equipment. When you sign up for your exercise program, one of the choices are free weights only.

yep that what I am on Brad, Dude you dont need a machine I have the gold gym XRS 20, listen learn your bench and you can do anythign a machine could offer short of like a squat rack(not that you cant do squats...select the free weights only when building your exercise program I havent gotten an exercise I couldnt do yet on my gym except chin ups which technically i cant do anyway lol

Where do I start...the list can go on and on guy... you can exercise all of your body parts with just what you have.

Chest - Bench Press
Shoulders - Upright Row, Shrug, Shoulder Press, Clean and Press
Back - Bent over barbell row
Legs - Lunges, Deadlift, Squat
Biceps - Curl (using different variations of grip width)
Tricep - tricep extensions (lying/standing)

just a few..

if you could get your hands on a pair of dumbbells aswell you could add more exercises for more variation, such as flys, arnold presses, kickbacks, single arm dumbbell rows, etc.

How high are the supports for bench? are they adjustable so you can use them for squats?
