i'm trying to find myself decent free weights and a bench for a budget price so i can finally just get monstrous. anyone know of a cheap set of free weights and a bench?

Wal-mart has cheap shit you can get. Buy a nice set of dumbells and around 40lbs of weight for around $30, and get around another 100lbs of assorted 5, 10, and 20 pound plates. (although you can skip the 20's for now, since you won't be ready to use them as your just starting out.) Get a good bench that has the ability to adjust for incline AND decline. You can get one with a leg extension for around $60 at wal-mart as well.

The important part when you start out is form. Don't throw 50lbs on your dumbells and start jerking them around like an asshole. You'll benefit little, and probably hurt yourself. Start with 10lbs (seriously) and learn the exercises. Concentrate on keeping good form. Don't lock elbows or knees, smooth movement, and keeping the weights straight. It's harder than you'll think, because your body has tons of tiny little stabilizer muscles that won't be used to the movements. Don't feel like a pussy if you start getting shaky after a few reps with a mere 10lbs. It's normal.
