Incline bench rec please

[rose2boys]

I've decided that I really need an incline weight bench. Not too puny, but not huge & not $$(i've been on craigslist, but not sure what to look for to get quality). It's got to work w/the push/pull tower thing, too.

I have regular flat one that I love & have been using alot since upping my weights. I just wish it inclined!! It is the perfect size to store under one end of my pool table when not in use & it's really sturdy, but it was a "freebie" & I'm ready to replace it w/an incline one.

Any recs from my fellow Catheletes?

TIA!

I have this one and I really like it (though the metal on mine is black, not white):

Thanks. THat looks like exactly what I want, wish I wouldn't have to pay shipping. Do you mind giving your opinion on this one I found on craigslist -she'll sell it to me for $50, but it doesn't look quite as substantial as other one.

I have Amazon prime (I buy a LOT from Amazon, so it's worth it) so I didn't pay shipping.

The craigslist one is hard to judge. Does it just have two positions (flat and one incline?). Mine has 6 positions : decline, flat, 3 inclines, and 90 degrees.

I can't tell, I think it has a couple of positions. I'm now leaning towards the bench you have. I found it for $119, plus $30 shipping. I really wanted to spend less that $100, but..

How wide is the actual bench, the specs say 16", but not sure if that incl legs or just the bench?

I'm not at home now, but I'm pretty sure that's including the legs. (it's about 10"or so wide in the seat).

Thanks for your help.

Actually, I went to Dick's today just to see what they had & I found one by Fitness Gear (a brand made exclusively for dick's i think). It's the right size I'm looking for, seems pretty substantial w/o being too bulky, has 2 inclines, 1 decline, flat and straight up. Also has leg stabilizers & seat declines as well (not sure what that's used for). $129 + tax, and I have it for tomorrow's workout (GS BSBi) -- not too bad.

Sounds like you found a good bench at a good price.
Enjoy!
