Comments on this Bench (Bomb Proof)

A ridiculous name but let me know if you have any thoughts on this:

or any recommendations (thinking of Powertec/Powerline stuff also).

Actually the bench has to be purchased through some approved places like this. So, used equipment, e-Bay, Craigslist is not in the cards

I say it is way too much for a weight bench, you can get a good quality one for a lot less. plus, getting a bench already setup could have some problems getting it in a room you want to use.

Great points. Thanks.

bombproof is literally "bombproof". They're built like a tank so you have nothing to worry about. But the pricing on it is pretty expensive, with that I suggest you buy a power rack and a seperate bench.

Other great brands would be Titan, Powertec, Bodycraft, etc, etc.
You get what you pay for, I would stay away from brands like "GOLDS GYM" or other benches that are sold at sears, sports chalet, etc.

I currently have a powertec power rack with lat tower, and a seperate bench. I can do almost any exercise. My next investment is for a set of dumbbells.
