I have one of these benches I got a number of years ago and would agree that they are not that great. It is ok for a normal bench press, but as the posts that hold the barbell are not extendable, then you can not do proper incline bench pressing and the bench does not decline. Also I think the leg extension/curl attachment is a little gimmicky.

However if you want to get this bench for starting off and are minding your funds, then you are welcome to the one I have for free. You will have to collect it though. It's been in my garage unused for a couple of years and is a little dusty. I will check it to see if it is still in ok condition and update this post.

Then as I said, if it is ok and you want it you are welcome to it.

Fair play to you. That's very sound.

That bench will have the same restrictions as the first one you linked to (the one I also have), however the price when you factor in the bars, weights, pull-up bar etc is not too bad and you might be able to haggle a little on the price as the post is almost 3 weeks old, so doesn't look like he is getting many offers .

Also I have checked the bench in my garage and apart from a little dusty, which I can sort out, it is in pretty good condition. Never got much use anyway

If you want to take it, then PM me and I can get it ready and give you contact details etc. I live on the north side of Dublin, close to Donaghmede/Raheny.

Thanks Kannie.

Better to see it with someone who might get some use from it rather than laying around in my garage gathering dust.
