Quick! - anybody have/used a PowerTec WB-BRS workbench system?

Quick! There's one of these on ebay. 20 hours to go and I might buy it. Don't know where I'll put it yet, but I might buy it all the same

Has anybody used one or know if they're any good? My concerns are things like quality - is it a solid piece of equipment? Are the spotter bars up to the job for squats? That kind of thing.

Haha! The seller's other items include "Sexy Nurses Outfit Lingerie", "Lycra / Lace Insert Basque Set Sexy Lingerie" and "1995 NISSAN Skyline PEARL WHITE".

Looks like the seller's a girl, she's dumped her boyfriend and she's selling his stuff / stuff he likes!

I found this from someone who had just got one...

Odd about the name.

Yeah, I saw that one, but nobody replied to his post. I might just buy it anyway. It looks pretty reasonable, but if not I can always ebay it myself.

 

[anotherbutters]

I won! Yeah baby!

 

[blut wump]

Yay! Congrats!

How much did you get it for? You might want to fork out for some rubber mats for the floor of the room you put it in.

I got it for £255. They're £380 new and I got 140kg weights and an oly bar thrown in too! I'm really chuffed - I'm getting more and more frustrated with my gym, but now I'll be able to squat and bench at home without a spotter and do it first thing in the morning before work.

Thing is, I rent a house and my landlord lives next door, so my next task is to sneak in a few sheets of 8x4 followed by the rack and weights
