Not really sure the answer on that. I started with benching and pretty much that is all I did from 16 to 25. I went through two benches which were both free weight. The first one was great and served it's purpose, but one day I added more weight to the bar and the bench folded. So after the destruction of my bench from Hermans I bought a really nice one from Champs Sports with a Olympic bar. When I hit 25 and realized I wanted to change my workout and push myself I realized I could not do that with free weights safely without a spotter. So I bit the bullet and sold the weightbench and weights and got a Bowflex. That served me well through the years: so well that every six months I had to get new shirts and every year a new suit for my shoulder and neck was growing at a rapid rate. But about a year ago I stopped that workout and just been doing one that keeps what I have now. But I grew tired of the bowflex, and I know I have gotten big and stayed big just doing bowflex. We actually have a member is much bigger than me and all he does is bench using an olympic bar and chest flies with dumbells. But the difference between him and me is he has his setup in his garage on a concrete floor: so when he finds the bar too heavy and can't get it back on the rack, he just let the weights slide off. Due to the location I will be having my bench I don't have that luxury so I have to think ahead. So that is how I came about leaning towards the bench I posted the link to.
