What kind of bench?

[three60roundhouse]

I just bought two sets of dumbells - 5lb and 15lb, and I am going to purchase a barbell also (when i get paid...ahem). What I'd like to know is, what are the different kinds of benches (flat, incline, etc.) $$ is tight for me so I can't buy both types! Which would be more beneficial for me, a 16 year old girl interested in gaining strength, flexibility, and a little mass as well...thanks!

You can get a bench that switches from Flat to incline. But be careful, some of them are really unstable. Just get a WIDE, strong flat bench, and a long stable box. Put one end of of the bench on the box. BAM instant incline.
