Fray Fitnesshas a bench that supports a lot of weight for around $150 plus shipping. I bought a couple of 40 pound dumbbells from them a couple of weeks ago, and they arrived six days after I ordered them.



Copied and pasted from their website:

The Fray competition bench is very stout and heavy duty all the way. Get those big lifts in with no worries of stability or failure due to weight capacity. Top this off with a 4" thick and 12" wide pad. It is graded at powerlifting competition spec height. It is rated at 1,200 pounds. This is constructed with 7 and 11 gauge steel throughout, along with a massive 3" x 3" frame. Wheels are also attached for easy relocation. This is also available with our 14" wide pad. Available in other colors as well.

Measurements

Height (Top of pad): 17"
Length of pad: 48"
Width of pad: 12" or 14"
Thickness of pad: 4"
Overall weight: 64 pounds

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Either of these would be killer benches. Rep's entire lineup is solid. I have the v1 of the IM Bench and it's fantastic.

OP, what decision did you go with? Can you post pics when your bench arrives?

Fukk i was sold on the rep fitness bench. Looks real good. But shipping is over $200 to canada. I contacted them and there is nothing they can do about it.


Any other better options than this bench? This will cost me $500 after shipping and taxes

I don't do decline and I do a lot of shoulders so I like this doesn't go past my head when in 90 degrees
