I am a powerlifter and all I need is a good squat rack with a bench, the kind where you scoot the bench under and it has two adjustable pins. One for the barbell and one when you go to failure, for safety. I don't really even need a cage, just the squat rack and bench. Everything in my routine utilizes a barbell. I figure I need at least a 300 lb weight set. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to buy it online and have it shipped to central florida, so please give advice. Thanks. ------------------     | ||

I like the power rack on that site. http://www.yukon-fitness.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/store/powrrack.htm?L+store+wajx8738+981407114 That is a great value. This is what I am thinking about getting though http://www.dunhamssports.com/product/index.jsp?productId=223653&categoryPath=890 Again all I need is to be able to do presses, squats and deads mainly. I basically just use a barbell with my whole workout. Can anyone else help? ------------------ | ||

I have decided on that power rack from yukon fitness, thanks for the link. I am getting my weight set and my flat bench from www.newyorkbarbells.com They seem to have good stuff. ------------------ | ||

Try www.fitnessfactory.com They have some really nice stuff cheap. Get their catalog. I got 300lbs of weight for $99, and sweet bench for $179 and a lat pull down and pulley attachment for $79. | ||

Garza...don't forget that you really need one tall enough to do standing overhead barbell presses in. That is my problem. I am 6'2" tall and have really really long arms. I can't do st. overhead presses in my rack. Just something to think about. B True | ||

B Fold, I have never done those before, never thought about it, I am 5'11. Maybe you should try www.newyorkbarbells.com, they will alter the equipment at no extra charge if i'm not mistaken. ------------------ | ||

WoW...that made me take another look at it. Be sure that it is high enough for you. I did not do st overhead barbell presses when I bought my power rack...but I wish that I had now. I am doing strongman training right now...so I am really focusing on my overhead strength. I think that it is one of the great mass builders. I hope to clean & press 315 by May 15th. I want to do partials on overheads to get my body used to holding that much weight over my head. Thanks again B True | ||

So did the newyork barbells site claim that they would alter the power rack? I believe they will, its only 329 for the power rack and free freight (they charge up the ass for shipping a weight set though). That seems like the best power rack i've found for retail. Everything on that site is made in U.S. Looks like good stuff. ------------------ |
