I know a few company men use these forums but I need to know:If I want a package of weights, ideally something like this: 200 (or just over)kg weights with a 7ft bar. Solid squat stands (with bench adjustable) And a bench (ideally adjustable) for (at least) 300kg durable.. Where to go? I trust Strength shop but their weights with bars seem much more expensive (even just for iron). Though I like their squat stands. Fitness superstore (northampton) seems pretty good and I could visit though I've seen quite a few bad reviews for customer care and delivery online. And a couple of other online only stores that I don't even know I could trust. Any advice? I'm on a budget. Even if there were a second hand forum somewhere for this kind of stuff. I might have a new house in a few weeks and I'll have to workout from home (IN THE GARDEN) from now on. Any advice... | ||

Any advice... ebay, loot, gumtree if you're on a big budget. it just may take time to build up your needed equipment. fitness superstore were fine when i bought some bodypower plates and a 7' 1500lb rated bar off them when i first started training. if you're gardening it, then argos for gazebo (and catalogues for zerchers). | ||

Can't comment fully as I only got minor stuff such as knee sleeves from them however. | ||

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I bought my first set from powerhouse fitness, the more you buy the more discount you get and I can't fault their customer service, had an issue with some plates I bought separately and they changed them no problem. | ||
