soccerking, my limit is 300 and currently i have 2 45 lbs plates and no bar or bench(that i own). if i were to buy that i still need a bench and at least an olympic bar.

Check out craigslist.com on a regular basis. And search cities close to yours as well. Workout equipment pops up there all the time.

i checked craiglist and all the nice ones were at least 600, so it didnt work out too good, but
today i saw a great bench that would be perfect for me, it was a huge rack, and a bench actually, for 199. im going to try to get that, and i also saw a weight set for a little over 130, ill have to save up a little to get that with the bench but i think ill just do that.
btw thank you all for the help

Save up as much as you need to get good equipment. Don't settle for anything less then the best. You'll be happy you did.
