Hi,
I haven't been to this forum for a long time. Have been working out with DB only but I think it's time for a barbell. I was looking into buying a bench but on the few shops that sell them around here, no one knows how to answer my question.
The benches they sell are, well, not impressive but they are cheap. The thing is almost all of them have a 110Kg weight limit. Now, two guys at different stores told me this is just a bar weight limit, doesn't count if you are on top of it or not. This just doesn't make any sense as you can easily have a costumer that doubles the amount of weight on the bench.
So what exacly is this weight limit thing? What does it mean? I hope I'm wrong on this one, that would save me a lot of money
