Equipment Advice Please!

Leadhead · 04-17-2004, 04:43 PM

I'm about to get a small chunk of cash and have decided to buy some equipment with it. I plan to get a decent bench that includes inc/decl/flat/mil press/and preacher curl attatchment as a minimum (in other words, if it had more than what I named, then GREAT!). And of course I'll need plates and a few bars, and some db's also. I'd like to keep the total cost for all of it not more than $700 (I'm a poor college student and would like to save as much as I can). Someone please point me in the right direction, and provide me some links if possible. Thanks!

Basically I need essential equipment to get a good, muscle building workout at home since the nearest quality gym is about 45 miles away from where I live. And if totals exceed $700, not a problem, but I'd like to keep it under.
