Home Weight Bench

[13 of Spades]

I despise the gym. I hate the atmosphere, the feeling as if everyone is watching me, and the fact that everyone seems to be at least three times my size. (Not to say that gyms are bad, it's just not for me.)

I've been looking for a decent weight bench so that I could do exercises at home and avoid going to the gym, but the weight bench that I have, which has the ability to incline, is crap because the moment I put the bench at an incline, I can no longer perform an exercise because the bar and my forehead occupy the same space. Not only that, but whenever I lay down to do skullcrushers, the weight bench's weight rack, the polls where the bar would go, gets in my way because it's so narrow.


Is there a decent flat bench, that can incline, and has adjustable bar stands? Is it possible to buy gym-quality benches directly from some warehouse/supplier?
(Feel free to give alternative advise.)

Pff, most gym benches can't even do that. Or maybe gyms aren't too great around here (that sounds pretty plausible, actually).

I also love that the makers of your bench didn't think of the fact that you wouldn't be able to use the bench at all in incline position, hahaha. Speaking of clever products.

Anyway, for the skull crushers, why don't you just lie the other way around? I mean, it's not like the weight on skull crushers is so heavy that you must use the weight rack to grab it from.
