Getting the right equipment for a workout room will require you to go and see many apparatus' in various stores before you decide on the equipment that you want. One of the problems that you may have is in deciding between buying a home gym against the alternative of a weight bench. Space and height considerations can make you opt for the weight bench, but the bench you select must be sturdy and have a lat tower. Weider Pro 265 is available at Sears for $160 and is also available on-line for the same price. You would need weights in addition to this weight bench.

Most of Weider Pro 265 benches available are adjustable, this model having 9 positions which makes it very good.

The 15791 model of Weider Pro 265 has a lat tower that has a leg developer with 6 rolls (in comparison with the conventional 4 rolls). So you can do the leg extensions while you are comfortable and can also turn over to do the hamstring curls. The foam on the leg rolls adds to the comfort.

There are three places to store weights on Weider Pro 265, one in the front and two at the back.

You can put together the Weider Pro 265 with just a few tools, within about two hours. The back bench of the Weider Pro 265 has to face in the correct direction while you do the assembly.

The exercise chart that comes along with the Weider Pro 265 is in very small print and may be difficult to read.

You can adjust the lat tower of Weider Pro 265 to suit your height

There is a curl pad called the preacher, which is meant to work the biceps, and this pad is easy to put on and remove.

If you want to exercise with bench presses and skull crushers you would need to buy the necessary bars, for which Weider Pro 265 weight bench has place for you to keep them. You can always use the weights that you have for the same exercises.

The weight of Weider Pro 265 is 105 pounds and can be moved about if necessary.

Various exercises are facilitated by the lat bar and if you have a rope handle and triceps handle bar you can exercise your triceps very easily. Using the lat bar on Weider Pro 265 is best if you want different exercises for your back. Lat pull-downs are standard, but the Dickerson will have you using the back to do so while standing with hands close to one another.

The lat tower on Weider Pro 265 tempts one to buy other attachments.

Plates for the tower and preacher curl are a must. Also consider buying a bar bell with the set of weights that will be part of the package. Dumbbells with a set of plates are better than buying a standard one.
