    Most benches now come with leg curls etc to work the legs and also with butterfly pec decs so look for one with those. Also if you splash out a little bit more money you can get preacher and lat tower with the bench also. The new Argos range have ALOT more weights and benches to choose from so id go for it. If you have about 435 euro they have that home gym package with the bench+ 100kg weights, a boxing station that build reflexes and you get dumbell bars, boxing gloves.

    I'd spend my money on a power rack - you can use it to squat, bench and do seated military presses etc and they are a lot stronger. Make sure whatever you get can hold a couple of hundred kgs at least, comes with at least 150kg of weights and dumbells. Oh, and a 7ft barbell, not a 6ft one.
