Can anyone make a recommendation for a weight bench. I'd like something for beginners but something I can grow into as well. Ideally I would like something sturdy, good warranty, well padded, adjustable incline, and a leg extenstion/curl would be nice. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks!

What are you looking to spend? Whats your budget?

I own a Parabody multi angle (incline/decline) bench with leg extension and leg curl attachment. Cant remember what I paid for it but its a solidly built piece of equipment.

Body Solid is pretty good stuff that is usually priced below the brands that it competes against. I used to be in equipment sales and we dealt with Body Solid. It was a good buy, the only thing was that the fit and finish weren't as good as brands like Parabody, Nautilus, Hoist, etc. But you pay about 10-15% less while still getting a heavy guage steel, good padding, and a lifetime warranty. Actually most brands that cost a little more and are solidly built will have at least a 10 year warranty and as far as benches go, the upholstery is the main concern so make sure the warranty covers frame AND upholstery, not just the frame as that likely will not break.
