Bench
I am looking for a bench for the home gym. Right now I have a crappy Golds that has about seen the end of its life. I do flat bench one day and incline one day so my ideal would be a bench that works both positions. I have thought about going the half rack and bench combo but I have the promaxima squat stands and they work great so far.
I have looked at Elite Fts and several other places. The only one that I saw that even looked remotely like what I am after was at New York Barbell.

I don't want any attachments just a solid bench that will last and supports both flat and incline.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.

So you want an adjustable flat bench for a barbell?
Or do you want a stand alone adjustable bench, then using your squat racks to rack a barbell?

Me too especially since in HS I could only bench a measly 135. 
Allen my first choice would not be a bench with my squat racks. I went to promaxima last night and they have the mother of all half racks, lifting platforms and bench. I am scared of the cost and have requested a quote.

Check this out. This is the rack I was talking about in my last post

I am waiting on a quote as we speak. I know I can build a lifting platform and it is on my to do list for next weekend but if this is reasonable that sure would be cool.
