Shane don't get one of those *$#@! machines.

Get a bench and an olympic weight set. You should still be able to get a 300lb oly set at fitness depot for $200. Then I imagine a bench is about 100bucks. So for 300 bucks you can get weights and a bench.

I got a squat cage from the bargain finder. This way I can do benchpresses and squats without a spotter because there are safety rails to drop the weight on if need be.

I bought all my stuff through the bargain finder. It's not like weight depreciates in value, 45lbs is still 45lbs even if it's a bit dinged up.

And I've even been using it for the last 3 months to work out with other than to hang clothes on and collect dust.
