    Wanna buy a good weights bench for at home, mainly for doing chest press etc, and would like one with some leg exercise function.

    anyone recommend anywhere I can get one? Or even a bench?

    My mind automatically thinks York but is this just a big brand buzz or what?

    Well what ever you go with don't buy Argos.It's not unsafe or anything but there is so much flex in the rack stands that the centreline of the bar is constantly offline when in the racks.Either go to a steel merchants and make one or ...

    They are usually rated to fairly low weights, also they can be shoddy. I have a cheapo york bench my brother got, I never use it, I hate it, just too flimsy a feel to it, which is unnerving to me.

    I just do various dips and pushups instead.
