Any better weights than this to get me started?

Im finally looking to propery gain a bit of muscle mass because i am only slim, after having a look around i found this:
Pro Power Bench with 35kg Weights Set.

I know it's not much weight but i can easily add to it. I'm not looking to spend much money so i thought this looked perfect and very good value for money with it having the leg extension and curl bar.

Thanks,

Flare.

For £50 you can't really grumble but without covering old ground your not going to get muscley with that limited equipment. Leg extensions arent enough to properly train your legs and your going to struggle to do any sort of shoulder press with the height of the rack arms.

To build mass you need to be doing squats, deads and bent over row amongst other things.

Thanks for the info, i will also be doing a fair bit of other stuff as well. Would there be any other equipment, instead of that, you wuld recommend?

I've also just found this as well, it's pretty much the same but with butterfly extensions. Although i can't see how much weight (if any) is included?

Thanks for the input guys

I've just had a look at a few gyms and found there is a Pure Gym which looks to be a very good gym with a lot of equipment http://www.puregym.co.uk/Pure-Gym/Gym-Equipment. However, i could only get a full membership with them which i wasn't really looking for but i will give them a ring see how long a full membership is for. I would also quite like somewhere with a pool so i think i will keep looking.
