I got a new squat rack this month and the rack on my old bench is just getting in the way now. I'm looking to replace my old bench with a new one, but I want to make sure the new bench is adjustable, sturdy and has a leg extension that can hold 1" plates (and doesn't have a built in rack). I want to be able to give away the old rack because it would take up too much space to keep just for the leg curls/extensions.
I spent a few hours yesterday checking some local sporting goods stores to see if they had any on display, but none of them did. Amazon has some possible options, but my biggest concern is that these benches may not work well with my leg length (I'm 6'2"). Here are some of the products I found on Amazon that could potentially work:
Marcy Adjustable 6 Position Utility Bench with Leg Developer and High Density Foam Padding SB-350
Gold's Gym XRS 20 Olympic Workout Bench GGBE19615
HARISON Adjustable Weight Bench with Leg Extension and Preacher Pad, Flat Incline Decline Heavy Duty Exercise Bench for Home Workout Weight Training
I'd gladly check out other products from other sites if anyone has a good recommendation. My hope is that someone here has a bench w leg extension (and no rack) at their home gym that they think would work well for me and can give me the product info. I'd rather not roll the dice and find out, after I've built the thing, that I got something that was cheap and/or that I can't effectively use for leg curls.
