Not sure about getting a rack seperately. To be honest you can do everything with DBs so i am probably just being able. Better to get some decent dumbells really. Where abouts are you located?

Cool that that would be nice of u crazycal1. c if u have got it first, if so the least I can do is pick it up, considering you live somewhere thats not going to cost a lot to get to! Otherwise I have updated my posts on gumtree and went through freecycle again. On ebay though I found a marcy bench but there are already bidders on to that, a shame cause the guy lives in b'ham. I'm in Coventry by the way.


swrutt, you mention decent dumbbells, now as I'm new to all this what decent dumbbells means to me is the uncoated iron disks cause they look proper, the plastic/rubber coating seems to downgrade the look and feel. But I'm assuming your talking about a heavier set to get a proper work out? or is there grade in dumbbells as well i.e aesthetics like shape, grip, hard wearing or something to that effect. Anyway I could go on guessing but do let me know what you mean.

swrutt

I just mean better to get ones that you can add sufficient weight to as you progress. Up to maybe 25/30kg each would prolly serve you well. Anyone else wanna input on this?

i`m in norwich bud and would be happy to post it to you.
i think its round me mums still but i`ll confirm that tomorrow.

i`d get a basic set of DB`s from argos and buy a few extra weights from JJB or sommat mate (the iron ones)

Dont get the vynal coated ones though.... mine cracked and the concrete came out

Yup I knew Norwich is quite far from cov, just out of interest I went to find out how far and its about 150 odd miles equating to an estimate of £40 petrol to get there and back. If you do have it crazycal1 see how much it costs to deliver first, I wouldn't take it off you totally free. If I reckon its reasonable I'll pay for it to be delivered, otherwise I suppose you could auction it on ebay and make some money or freecycle it in your area or give it to charity or whatever you feel like.


Interesting to know whats inside those vynals swrutt. I thought it was some metal, to find out its concrete makes sense to have them coated and plus I now know why one of them rattles like it has a tiny stone in it! Nevertheless I'll stick with em for now as their still in good condition and plus I can say with shame am quite weak so there is no point in me buying heavier weights until I can lift these easily and theres no point in buying new till these wear out so which ever comes first.

crazycal1

hey dude-seems i still have the bench-
the one good thing bout this bench is that its got such a high weight rating for a cheapy.
cant cost much more than a tenner - 15 quid to post off-
you got paypal?
