Which smith machine for the home is best??

[frankie21]

Looking at either a smith machine or power rack for the home with a chin up bar for leg raises etc. .... anyone have any suggestions or experience on which manufacturer (Parabody, Deltech, etc....) has best design??

thanx

well, I would forget about the smith machine, and just go with a power rack, check out the store at www.elitefts.com and see what they have

Smith Machine...uhh...not an option.

I have a super cheap Weider power rack that I use...and it is ok. My next one will be MUCH better...but it will cost me a lot more too...

What makes a "Better" power rack?

its only function is to stop the weight when I fail, and to have pins i can put the weight on.

simple as it gets. what kind of racks are "preferred"?

I want one that is 8.5' tall, and about 4' deep next time... Something pretty heavy would be nice too...

I'd really like a power rack with a monolift inside...

Best Smith machine is the one that is not in your house. Or on fire somewhere. Or just nonexistent. Go for the power rack.
