They're website is so slow.... I've managed to find a Oly bar and 100 kg of weights for £435. I'll have a quick look if I can get it cheaper.

Only issue is you will have no catchers for bench as those will need to be used to hold the bar when benching.

Did you see the rack I linked above ?

In the last few months failed a bench press once at the gym. Managed to pull it all to one side.

Hmm that looks good but costs a lot more.

What type of floor will the mats be on? What size area you covering?

B&W · 31 Oct 2020 at 22:24

It's wooden boards, like the type used in a loft.

I just need them for the deadlifts really.
