Bodypower Adjustable Incline/ Decline Utility Bench

Advantages: stable and versatile....did I mention stable (Its excellent)
Disadvantages: A bit costly, the weights you will need are expensive.

...This is the best bench out there for the money, offering versality of exercise but being one of the sturdiest benches I have used. FUNCTIONALITY Adjusts from decline, flat, incline, and full upright position Now this for me is a really improtant aspect of the bench as the ability for the bench in particular to decline is an important aspect of weight training that is not offered by other benches. Most benches will operate from flat, through to fully upright. This covers most exercises from bench pressing to arm (bicep curls etc) and shoulder work (shoulders press). However with the introduction of the decline, it provides the opportunity to do decline presses and/or decline butterfly's (bench pressing on the decline) This is particularly useful to be able to develope the muscles in the lower pectorial's (in the chest...

Advantages: easy to assemble
Disadvantages: the design could be improved

...During my gap year from sixth form to university I got a job as a lifeguard at the local sports centre and as a consequence spent a lot of time in the gym.

Advantages: I won
Disadvantages: A lot of hassle from the big boys.

...United Utilities are an appauling company, and I would go as far as to say ringing the Zoo would get a much better response, I have spoken to about 30 people at UU and they are all lacking in manners and intelligence and try to pass the blame to anyone but themselves, my window was cracked by shoddy work directly outside and the guy who checked the work outside my house tried to blame the accident on a pot hole some 15 yards away from the problem, yet UU still recovered the hole outside my house, and the fact that they did this I would class this as a GUILTY act on behalf of UU. I was about to pursue court action against them and asked for a director's name and email address, as I thought it was only fair to let a Director know what was happening before they got a court summons and hey presto they have agreed to pay up in full plus...
