You should also factor life plans into your spending that 200.

At 19, what are your goals outside of weight training? If you plan on going to college next year, you'll have access to a gym, and depending on the college/university, you might have access to some really nice equipment.

The other practical thing to keep in mind is where and who you live with. If you live with your parents right now, you have space for things; but when you graduate from high school you might move out very soon, and far, and no longer be able to really use your weights and bench and rack.

Just something to think about.

I have beat the crud out of it and it looks virtually new. 3 years and it's still perfect.

For the price, it's a bargain. If fact, my entire gym is rock solid after three years. Might not be the most expensive equipment but it is a great value.
