Weights Bench

    Hi all, I thought this might be a good place to ask about weights benches!

    I have a small home gym, and and for weights I have a Weider 330 Bench.
    Had it some time, but now I'm finding that the weld is starting to crack
    and the leg is bending on the end around where the leg extension part is,
    so looking to upgrade.

    I could just weld it up and straighten it, but considering that I'm trying
    to increase the weight also I don't think it would be wise....

    Given that I don't have anyone to spot me, I was thinking of upgrading
    to a smith machine, and a squat rack.
    I need the leg extension as it helps with a knee injury I have.

    Does anyone know of anybody in the Galway/West area that sells
    benches & racks, or are there any online companies that deliver?

    I've seen a lot of stuff online in the UK, but I'd prefer to go somewhere
    local if possible, and I don't know if the UK companies would deliver here
    anyhow...

    Also, are Marcy any good?
    I've seen a lot of their stuff online while looking.

    Have a look at a power rack / Power cage

    Like this: http://www.irish-lifting.com/power-rack-pe-197.html

    Allows you to work without a spotter, as you can set the pins to catch the bar before it mills you.
    You can also squat in it, so it negates the need for a squat rack.
