Weight bench or squat rack?

[jsmoke]

I discovered squat racks and thought I'd be as well doubling up for bench pressing, just buy a bench without the bar holding part, what do you think?

Lots of people successfully bench press in a squat rack. You'll just need the bench itself. Squat racks will have pins you can move into a position that would allow you to bench press comfortably.

Yes a squat rack + bench is much more flexible. If it's a full rack the pins make for a better spotter/safety system too.

I'd want a rack with spotters otherwise you cant really push yourself.

Have you thought about a half rack? Good for safe squats and bench at home without taking up quite so much space

Whats the budget?

I went with a Bulldog gear squat rack -> https://bulldoggear.com/collections/squat-racks

I then added dip bars and spotter arms.
