Home gym equipment suggestions

[Asao]

I am looking to make a simple workout setup at home. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brands are good? I already have a bench and adj dumbbells, so I am looking for maybe a power rack/barbell setup to start with.

If you already have a bench it limits you to what I was gonna suggest.I have this thing which is a bench but also a squat rack.It's really nice.Just about fits me under the bar and im 5'11 or 6ft.

I'm open to getting a new bench. Mine doesn't decline. What were you going to suggest?

i have a powertek powercage + adjustable bench.

the cage is brilliant, cant fault it (has room for more attachments) could do with a few lower pins aswell. The bench is ok it is a incline/decline one, sometimes i just wish i had a solid flat one though, but this will come in handy when i start BP for the incline/decline presses.

You're starting in the right place!

I personally have a powercage (forget the brand). It has 2" hole spacings but 1" are ideal. If going high end, you can get Elite Fiteness' stuff:

Slide an adjustable bench in there and you're good to go.

If you do order either one, I highly suggest getting the Ironmind loading pin, which can be found here and makes loading/unloading a snap:

I'd shop Craig's List first, you never know what you'll find on there at a bargain. Hank! picked up a hip belt for like $35!!
