What Kind of Weight Bench Set Should I Start With?

There are tons of weight bench sets at every imaginable price point being sold today. From all inclusive ones to cheap ones, you can get them with nearly every feature and or stripped down to the bones. A lot of it depends on what you want to accomplish and how much money you are willing to spend. Here are a few tips on how to decide what kind to get.

Focus on quality.

If you are buying new, you may want to avoid a cheap weight bench. Sometimes they are rickety and don't hold up well. When you are buying online (you can get some great deals online) take a good look at the customer reviews and see how other people liked the bench you are looking at.

You can also check out Craig's list and your local paper for good buys on exercise equipment. Just be sure to see it in person before you buy it to avoid getting ripped off. Also, make sure that the set that you buy is coated, so that it doesn't rust when you sweat.

Do you need an adjustable or a flat weight bench?

If you answer this question before you start looking you will find that shopping for a weight lifting bench is a lot easier to do, and the answer comes from the types of exercises you will be doing with your equipment. Personally, I like a flat weight bench, but many people like an adjustable one. The choice is really yours.

You don't need the most expensive weight bench set on the market today, but when choosing between weight benches, you also don't want to go for the cheapest one.
