I was wondering if powerhouse is a good brand. My fam and I went to Dicks today and they have the Power 9 bench made by Powerhouse. It looks damn near perfect for us. It has leg extension/curl, lat bar, has adjustable bench for different bench presses and you can do squats with it also. Its usually $300, marked down to $250, and now its on sale $200. What do you guys think?

I bought one of the powerhouse gyms a couple weeks ago. I like it so far. A couple things caught me by surprise though. When I bought it, I asked the retailer how much weight the set-up could handle and was told 600 lbs. Last week, resting between sets, I see a tiny sticker on the base. It listed bench capacities including lifter. Flat bench = 600 lb; Incline = 300 lb; decline = 300 lbs. Now, I alone am 250 lbs and my bench definitely puts me over the incline and decline amounts. I wish I knew this before I purchased it. It's gonna suck when it all comes crashing down on me. :( Also, with the leg curls... when placing over 120lbs on it causes the back of the bench to rise off the ground in a tipping motion. You either have to put more weight towards the back of the bench or always be sitting on it to keep it from tipping.
