Good bench press kit for home

[rich12]

I've been looking at getting a bench press set (Inc weights) for home and I'm not looking to spend too much but most of the kits seem to have just 50kg in weights which isn't enough.

Are there any good ones for say circa £200 that have around 100kg as a starter kit or am I massively underestimating the cost of these things?

Depends what sort of kit you're after.
A proper barbell and plates I'd expect £150-200 for the bar alone and £150 in plates (both new).
Or the cheap alternatives that will bend around 180kg maybe, you could possibly get for under £200 - the ones with 1" diameter ends/plates.

I bought used Olympic plates and a bar, that's probably your best bet to get a decent chunk of weight cheap, even if you buy the bar new.

Ebay and gumtree are full of used weights and benches
