I got this set at the start of pandemic so they were pretty expensive at the time $299, they held up pretty well and I still use it
I've had this for several years and it's still holding up well
Had this a long time ago, was a great starter for a home gym, held up well for the 5 years I had it before upgrading; for the majority of people this and a 300 or so pound weight set is all you will need.

Recommendation on a bar and weights to match with this for a teenager to get started?
Olympic set, bar is 45, and each big weight per side is 45. u can get 5 10 25 too. probably is still the standard.. try fb marketplace if nothing here try under 50¢ per #
Rogue boneyard bar, and whatever weights you can find. I'd go for Rogue's deep dish plates. I've been told to never skimp on the barbell.
Agreed not to skimp on the barbell but I wouldn't get a boneyard bar. They only have a year warranty whereas for less than $100 more you get the non boneyard and lifetime warranty. Granted the barbell shouldn't "go bad" with a little upkeep but worth it in my opinion.
Rogue, Vulcan are good quality but pricey but both have stuff made in the U.S. unlike other brands. York is good for old school plates and cheaper overall for non calibrated plates.
If you can get used plates on Facebook market place, offer up, etc. Or if you dont want to go through the hassle just order from basic iron places on "rep fitness" I don't know if they're is any cheaper alternative with good quality but thats what I did. And for barbell just get any 45 lb, 7 foot long barbell on Amazon with good reviews and can hold a good amount of weight.
Get the 15 lb rage barbell and bumper plates. You'll spend a little more but your floors won't be a concern, the barbell will be full size, and the kid can do clean and jerk, deadlifts, squats and a few other things without worrying when they need to drop the weights.
Also highly recommend horse stall mats at tractor supply. Thick rubber, get two and you're golden.
Find kettlebells instead of dumbbells btw. More versatile.

Eesh. And I thought I paid too much at $200 back in May. It was at modells after "$50 off". At least it's a solid bench. I have no regrets about the quality.
This is a great price. I bought this back in 2015 for $150.
Two things to be aware of:
1. The bench height is 3-4" taller than typical benches, this can cause issues with getting leg drive when bench pressing
2. The safety bars are pretty short and the height may not be where you need them
I still use the bench regularly but have upgraded to a full cage since I lift alone at home

Good luck finding any plates for $0.50/#.
Even standard 1" used iron plates are often $1/#. Used Olympic plates are closer to $2/#. New plates are $1.50/# standard and $2.50 - $3.50/# Olympic.
I'm looking for a low cost adjustable bench for dumbbell work. I've got no room for the squat rack or barbells in this deal... does anybody have a suggestion for a standalone bench? Amazon, Walmart, and Dick's have so many listings I have no idea which are good deals.

Any recent buyers here? I just became skeptical of Weider after that. These things are such a hassle to return.
