Title: LOVE HANDLES QUESTION
I want to know the BEST way to get rid of love handles (besides the incline since my gym doesn't have one). I have been doing side bends with a 25lb. weight, but i HEARD that using heavier weights will bulk that area up. I don't want that. I just want to get rid of the things!

The only way to reduce love handles is to reduce your overall body fat level. Unfortunately many people have certain limited areas where fat tends to deposit first and go away last. There is nothing you can do about this. It is controlled by genetics and may change with age. You may be able to make it look beter by developing the underlying muscles. A good all round weight training program coupled with a reasonable diet is the best plan.
Another exercise that affect the underlying muscles are hanging, twisting knee or leg raises. I'd recommend doing ses of high reps (50-100 or more).
