hi all, Ive got some plates fairly cheaply over the last few days (around 160kg's), a 4.5ft barbell and some dumbell bars But looking for a bench, probably an adjustable one, i was thinking of a bench rack aswell, but finding that it folds away for storage and adjustable is hard to find. the two adjustable one that i have found are https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FLYBIRD-Adjustable-Weight-Bench-Fitness-Gym-Lifting-Training-Incline-Decline/363072053819?hash=item5488c7e23b:g:NxsAAOSwKiZfMQMI and https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1953524236?iid=402365902622 any recommendations?

Hi,I've decided to cancel the gym membership, and get some equipment at home. I've seen this bench: Jetstream MM300 FID Utility BenchHas anyone had any experience of it? I can't seem to find any info on the company Jet Stream, no reviews apart from what's on powerhouse's page.I'm looking for a good bench with incline/decline. I have a squat rack, I just need a bench. This has preacher pad, and legs attachment which I thought was a bonus. I can't find much with these add-ons for this price. Any advice appreciated.

Hi everyone, After a week holiday with no gym in the first week of January, when I got back to the gym I came across an injury I from Bench pressing. The injury appeared to be in left shoulder area and I experienced sharp pain when doing any movement or sleeping on it for the first 2 days after. After that it was all fine so I again started to train after a week off but them when I did any kind of push movement it would give sharp pain in the left shoulder. I did lots of dips (surprisingly it didn't hurt) instead of push exercises such as bench and push ups. Everything was going well so I started to do bodyweight push ups and pushed myself too much which I feel hurt it again. So I let it rest for like 3 weeks So it was now 2 months since the injury and I decided to go to a physio, she looked at the injury and massaged it to identify it was in fact a pec muscle injury and said it is nothing serious and I should continue training but with little resistance and build it up. It's been nearly a month since the appointment and nothing has changed, I can do dips and low reps of push ups but when I train pushups properly I get the sharp pain again and it hurts slightly the next day with movement but then goes away the day after. Sorry for the long story, has anyone else experience thisor should I visit the physio again? Any help would be very appreciated, Thanks.

Alright guys so the lockdown is in effect and the gyms have been closed for a while also. I don't have weights myself at home (I have some on order but god knows when they'll arrive) but I'm addicting to training like pretty much everyone on here. So I decided to film my home workouts improvising as best as possible with what i have and to be honest I'm having some cracking workouts.

Okay so I intend to return to competition as long as everything continues to improve and injury stays at bay it will be February dates yet to be confirmed the goal for next year is to quilify and compete in the British champs I will Don nothing in between no bench only comps no fu**ing around the finals is my focus
