decently priced adjustable bench

I purchased one of these from Amazon and, for the price, have been satisfied.

Its extremely sturdy and stable.

I debate getting things like this. It'd be nice, but hard to justify when the gym is less than 10 mins from my house and open 24/7. I tend to buy things they don't have there instead.

Mine is too, but when I have my little girl I cant go to the gym because I'm not paying extra for child care at the gym.

This will give me the ability to knock out a decent workout while she naps or works on her busy book or whatever is holding her attention at the time.

this bench from rep is $269 shipping included. prolly the best deal you will get for a decent adjustable bench

rep AB-3100


and you will be able to get lots of good workouts in if you are creative. especially if you have a pullup bar and a set of rings, add an adjustable vest and you can pretty much do everything you would need with a set of powerblocks that go to 90.

my blocks arrived over the weekend which was pleasant surprise as shipping said 6/25...

not sure if wife's prime membership had anything to do with it as someone said amazon owns this site and used amazon log in when buying...

will give them a test run this week. Again thanks for the link to these, heavy dumbbells has been a missing item in garage gym for awhile

I just got a notification from UPS that my package was damaged in transit. What really pisses me of is that it was out for delivery. Like come the frick on UPS...

So now that they are sold out, I'm guessing they will issue me a refund and I'll miss out on the sale because Lake Charles UPS worker is a pussy.

Any recommendations on other adjustable sets that aren't $400+ ?

Mine came in 3 boxes Homey, maybe check with UPS if any of the boxes were undamaged? The 10-50lb base = 2 boxes. The extensions to 70lbs for both = 1 box

I saw my UPS driver struggle with them up to the porch and greeted her at door she actually said another box should come but everything I ordered was in the 3 boxes....

LOL Aww you're cute. I called like 64 different UPS phone numbers, and not a single one allows me to speak to an actual person to discuss the issue.

get the damaged ones and see how bad they are. ask powerblock to replace damaged parts. that is going to be the best solution

But I cant get in touch with UPS

ETA: UPS said they will not give me the packages since they were damaged in transit. It is their policy to send it back to sender. I've contacted Woot via email (because of course there is no customer service phone number anywhere online) and let them know that I still want the damaged products if there are no more in stock for the sale price. We will see what happens.

fair enough. I was just expressing my frustration. No need to be mean to me. I’m sensitive.

They delivered my dumbbells today! I’m pumped. The boxes were a little damaged but no visual signs of damage to the weights that I can see. I’m pretty pumped! Sorry for the melt down yesterday

I was going to mention how nicely everything was packaged from powerblock, but then you mentioned damage so I held off haha

They do package the hell out of it

Looks like the box handles broke when they were moving it out the truck or whatever. But no damage to the product.

Did a few curls at delt lat raises to be sure. No big deal.
