Ok when I first started lifting i used to use a standard bench untill i joined a gym. Well im not in the gym anymore and im about to by my neighbors standrad bench dumbells and 200 pounds of weights for fifty dollars.

Will i get the same affect from a standrad bench than an olympis bench if i use a wide grip when benching? I do flys and dumbell presses usasually anyway. whats your oponion?

awsome deal. Anyways is the bench not wide enough for regular grip?And the results should be the same . You may be able to bench lesser if your the same as me Smile

with standard bench and standard bar my max is 175 but with olymbic my max is 200 dont know why guess cause weight is evenly distributed in bar?

Ya thats what i figured. It seems a little harder on standard than olympic, but you can buy a big standard barbell too i saw. so i guess ill see what happens.
