Keep lifting. Lift consistently, and do not skip. Try to eat lean meats after lifting, and remember: it isn't how much you can lift that ultimately determines strength, you will gain strength even if you lift smaller weights very frequently.

What is reasonable price for used MPEX Powerhouse 1950 weight bench and weight set?
A Powerhouse 1950 is an excellent bench. If it has the leg lift attachment you are in great shape. They have an adjustable incline bench that has excellent support. They last forever if they are not abused. If you can get one with the Universal Bar and some weights, I would say $150 - $175 for a well maintained used one is a great price. Without the weights probably $125'ish. The lack of weights won't take it down to much, but grab them if they have it, you can always use more steel. Good luck.
