Bodybuilding Equipment Websites

[McGuire86]

I train at home and i'm looking to upgrade my equipment in the next month or 2 so can anyone reccomend some websites, cheaper the better of course !

Looking for a new bench (wide grip) that is solid (maybe olympic style), has a leg extension, incline and decline adjustable back rest and is tall enough, or adjustable to be able to do squats off.

And a new weights set, barbell and 2 dumbell bars. Discs must be iron or some form of metal, that are tough. Smaller the better so I can fit more weight on the bars. Total weight needs to be at least 100kg.

Don't have a scooby but have you ever used kettlebells?

[McGuire86]

Yes, not too keen on them tbh for the exercies I do

If your not bothered about all new equipment I'd just look through ebay and also looking on a few uk bodybuilding forum and see what people are selling, I know on uk-muscle there are always a few people selling some decent equipment for a good price. It's mainly just lumps of metal, so age shouldnt be much of an issue!

Yes second hand is a option, just been looking around on fleebay and theres some good deals. Dunno why I didnt look there to begin with.
Getting my new car soon then this is next on the list within the next month

im serioulsey considering a home set up now tbh

evry gym you go to now is full, or super expensive, im trying my hardest to get back into my training, but when i cant get on anything, or even get into a rythm...its putingme back if im honest

and having a 4 and a half month old baby and doing 10 hours shifts daily puts you out tbf...i have a large spare room, been looking on ebay and gumtree alot... seems to have a good few bits pop up often, lots of cheap cast barbells set ups on gumtree that will put most home gym set ups up a gear with the extra weights.. and decent machines/free weights

both seem a good buy tbh mate, im looking into sacking gym totally, i want to get back into training full time, but 10 hour days 5 out of 7 and a 6 month old baby with over time as and when cant facilitate,

i want to train when i can,but working alot doesnt help, home gym is the only way i feel i can now, when ive got time i need to use it lol!

so this is my next buy, least if ive got it, i can do a full body work out, till i build up my gear, initial cost is great but the work out it can give you speaks for itsefl, not one other machine can provide all it can, always been a favourite in gym for all groups.. if not a bit basic its got a full size chin up bar and cant find one cheaper online with same "qaulity" and delivery

I ended up with a Marcy multi gym. Opted for a cable/weight stack over free weights as I havnt got a spotter.

Want rid now though because I reckon your form suffers.

[McGuire86]

You dont have to have a spotter when useing free weights. If anything it makes you concentrate on your form even more as you know someone isnt there to spot you

[McGuire86]

Not happy with powerhouse fitness who I got the bench from, only the bench turned up not the squat rack, so im unable to squat or barbell bench until I know what the fuck is going on :wall:
