I'm going to buy my first bench press?!
Question:
I'm going to buy my first bench press?
I'm 16 and I'm looking to start body building. I've been working out with a home gym but its not very effective. I was thinking about joining the gym but alot of my friends have memberships and I know I'm probably just going to talk and my friends are just non-productive and usually just see who can dead lift the most. Are there any certain bench press brands I should look for? And do any benches come with a basic workout plan I can use?

Look for an olympic bench...or better yet, check this out:

Under $110, you can do a ton of different lifts including flat, incline and decline bench presses. Squats too, which is a big one. Then, you can spend your extra money on a good bar and weight plates. And eventually you can get some dumbells, and you'll never need to go to a gym again.
