When deciding what gym equipment to buy. Specifically a bench press. What key factors do you consider?
AKA for 400 dollars or less what is a good benchpress to buy?
Just bought this thing for 230 bucks. Free shipping nigga.

Stop using your phone for everything. Learn to copy and paste a link.
You want to get fit, but you're letting yourself be a slave to technology's limits. It's pathetic.

I shouldn't have to tell you this, but try other things like:
>Googling the name of the website
>Shortening the name of the website
How much do you need spelled out for you?
Bumping for self interest. One thing you gotta look out for it's max weight limits. Some are so low you can't bench over 150lbs without breaking it. My question is about safety bars. Some have them some don't. What gives. I'm afraid to bench on my own and die.

I did all that. The site does not work.
I'm making my own power rack with 2 .5" tubing and 3/4" steel rod as safeties, would it be enough?
All the tubing is going to be welded.

I bougth a bench, 10 kg barbell and 150kg weights when l first started, you could add in a squat rack and dumbbells in there if you wanted to but l managed to get big just with a barbell, a bench and bodyweight exercices that cost me like 250€, it's much comfier to lift at home

never buy a (relatively large) piece of equipment that only has 1 use (unless you have loads of money and space)
in your case, you're better off with power rack and adjustable fid bench

most important factor for a home gym is a rescue rack
try not to die anon

definitely hit up craigslist and see if you can buy it second-hand

i look for reputable/known brand name and make sure it olympic size.

Buy a flat bench and a power rack.
I wasted $300 (Aud) on a bench press before I realised it was useless in a home gym.
Also, only get olympic barbells / weights
