https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=74249816&f=60

ended up going the titan route with a body solid incline-decline bench

for flooring i picked up some 4' x 6' x 3/4" rubber mats at tractor supply co

just sold this entire setup for $750 since i moved and joined a gym instead

it was nice to have a home gym, but looking back on the last 2 years, i prefer to go out and get the social aspect of the gym over working out at home. to each their own, though

good luck!

titan is quality stuff for the price. the material is good for up to 1000 lbs (at least the t3 series is) and the welds were better than stuff you see at dicks or in a sporting goods store

i don't know if my setup wasn't level or if the welds on my dip bars were off, but there was about a 3/4" difference on the handles level for dip attachment. always pissed me off, i would turn around between each set to try and offset the difference

other than that, i probably spent too much on the bench. really didnt need anything that nice for a home gym, although it was perfect, just bulky and wide. it was nicer than the benches at most gyms ive been to.

pm me if you have any more questions, i dont check this forum often anymore

Yo this is PERFECT. Everything I imagined.

I did just buy j hooks with the padding because the metal on metal is gonna tear my bar apart.

Also need to order a weight tree.... prefer one with two+ bar holders. Any suggestions? I bought everything from Titan but Titan is sold out of this. The only thing not Titan is my mats from tractor supply and I also got metal plates from dicks (300 lb set for $190). I also bought 4x 45s, 2x25, 2x10 bumper plates from Titan.
