Hey,
I'm trying to get set up to be able to workout on a limited basis at home. I want to get a set of the selectable dumbells and one of the "bodyweight workout" setups. I can't think of the proper word for them... it's the metal frame with a bar for doing pullups, and has the combo dip/leg raise... and some even incorporate pushup handles on the bottom.
As far as the selectable dumbells go I'm looking most closely at the "Bowflex" kind with the twist select on each end. They go up to 52 lbs which is enough for the workouts I want to do at home. Anyone have bad experiences with them?
Any advice on a brand to look into for the "bodyweight gym" would be appreciated... and prices people have found. I looked at the local "Home Fitness" Store and they were about $300 and change there. I haven't found any online...but think it's due to not being able to google the proper term.
Oh, also I'd like a cheap bench... the kind that inclines on one end. What should I expect to pay for that? The same store only had one option which was $130ish. Seemed a little high...but it was heavy duty...seemed on par with what my gym has.
Thanks for any help in advance.
