Hi I am starting basic training for the army in 2 months so decided I better do some weight training as well as running. Anyway I got some York 50kg barbell and dumbbell set for £39.99. But although I can do some exercises without a bench I want to do bench press and others that require a bench.

Now I want to spend as little as possible but it be strong enough to take the 50kg on the barbell. What should I get and from where?

Another 30kg of weights for a start

Don't bother tbh. Cheap will be rubbish.

You can do floor presses instead and save yourself money

By floor presses u mean push ups?

Lay on the floor and press from there.

Thanks for that. Felt I really did want a bench so managed to win a basic used one off ebay for £11. Collecting tomorrow.
