Hi, I was looking for some advice on purchasing a bench for weight lifting. My first option is the V-fit 05L Bench, which costs £50, my second is the V-fit 05LF Bench and Fly, which costs £60.

They're basically the same, except the 05LF has a pec dec. My brother can lift more than 40kgs on his chest, but I'm only starting out on my chest so it seems like a good option. I have tried doing my chest before using dumb-bells, but it didn't work out too well, I had an awkward strain-like pain in my arms, and my chest wasn't fatigued. So the bench with the pec dec would be good for me, my brother would be willing to purchase it if the pec dec was detachable so he can use dumb-bells without the useless (for him) pec dec being in the way when using the bench.

Any help much appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply, just a shame I didn't see it before I purchased the V-Fit, it arrived this morning but I'm considering sending it back. It came with a ridiculous amount of missing parts, I just e-mailed customer services and this is a copy/paste of the missing items list from that e-mail.

Missing items -

Item no. 17 Quantity - 2

Item no. 18 Quantity - 1

Item no. 19 Quantity - 1

Item no. 46 Quantity - 2

Item no. 26 Quantity - 17

Item no. 29 Quantity - 6

Item no. 23 Quantity - 19

Item no. 25 Quantity - 12

Item no. 24 Quantity - 2

Item no. 48 Quantity - 2

Item no. 49 Quantity - 4


Absolute disgrace as far as I'm concerned.
 
One more thing mate...Do you know of a fairly cheap bench (£60-£100) that is literally just a bench that has a rack that will allow me to bench press? Something that can hold quite a lot of weight would be nice too.

Thanks.
