I'm hopefully going to be joining a local gym soon, however I was thinking of getting some equipment to do little weight training at home as well.
I was thinking of buying:
York Spinlock Vinyl Barbell/Dumbbell Set 50kg - £39.99
* 6 x 1.25kg.
* 4 x 2.5kg.
* 6 x 5.0kg.
* Total combination, vinyl weights 47.5kg.
* 2 x 45cm spinlock bars with plastic sleeves.
* 6 x spinlock collars.
* 1 x 165cm spinlock bar.
And
Pro Power Bench and Fly - £49.99
* Combination 38mm and 33mm square tubular steel frames.
* Chip resistant, hammertone epoxy powder coated frame finish.
* Cloth backed, deep padded vinyl covered seat and backrest with screen printed pro power logo.
* Flat and three additional backrest incline angles.
* Expanded foam grips and leg rollers.
* Exercise stations: bench press, 3 position height adjustment leg unit for leg extension and back leg curls, crunches / sit-ups and pec dec.
* Maximum weight loadings barbell stands 120kg.
* Leg extension 35kg.
* Pec arms 20kg (each).
* Maximum total weight loading (including user bodyweight and any weights) 200kg/32st.
* Assembled size (H)107, (W)103, (D)157cm.
* Packed flat for home assembly.
Or
York 520 Bench and Lat Curl - £59.95
* 5 station heavy duty weight lifting bench.
* Height adjustable barbell supports for incline chest press.
* Natural action chest fly arms.
* Height adjustable leg unit with thick foam rollers.
* Lat tower and arm curl pad attachments.
* Sturdy construction with large steel uprights.
* Folds for storage.
* Fully illustrated exercise guide.
* Max user body weight 200kg/32st.
* Size (H)120, (W)128, (D)170cm.
First of all, I don't know if it would be worth getting a bench and some weights if I'm going to be joining a gym. However, if I do decide to buy these, I don't know which bench is best to get. I obviously prefer the York 520 Bench and Lat Curl because it has the Lat tower, but the construction doesn't seem so good looking at the images. Also, the description states that the backrest on the Pro Power Bench and Fly can lay flat. However, I wasn't sure if the same could be done with the York 520 Bench and Lat Curl.
Any input?
Thanks in advance.
