I'm looking at getting a few bits and wondered which peices or manufacturers you really like? Different racks, benches etc all have good and bad points, or maybe an unusual movement that you haven't seen in many gyms. Who makes the best what and why? Pullums, Watson, Hammer strength.....

Eleiko bar is possible but not sure where to go for best advice and price? Texas bar is a gimme. Anyone know where I can get a forza bench? Seen a few copies but can't find a uk distributor.

To be honest it does need an instruction manual in the flesh.
