Jones · 24-09-2004, 10:11 AM

Hi guys, i am setting up a home gym in my garage, and would like to buy a power rack/cage, any ideas of good makes or where to get one from ? ? the only one i seem to b able to find, is the body-solid pro power rack, would this be suitable or do you think i should pay the extra and go for a full commercial rack ? cheers guys

hello jones,

yeah go with the body solid one, how much is it?about 350

i.m going to get one as soon as i have soughted out the garden.

i have quite a few bodysolid bits now,i think there all guaranteed for life

and the quality of the equipment is 100%

i couldnt imagine there would be much of a difference,

this one looks really solid and can hold loads of weight,

if you order,make sure you give them a ring back in about 3 days after ordering.

they have this habbit of firgetting about your order,well they did me anyway,

if you get it jones,give us a shout,let us no whats it like,

its 4ft by 4ft,if i remember correctly.

also you will need olympic bar and weights have you got these already.?

cheers

No i dont have anything yet ! Hopefully I will be purchasing an oly weight set oly dumbell handells, curl bar etc when funds allow ! just got to wait for me garage to be finished being converted. Anyone recomend a good site for ordering stuff off with free delivery ? think the best and cheapest one ive found so far is gymratz. cheers guys

i got the powerline one jones.

i cant remember the exact price.

it is good though,ive been benching about 140 kg on it.

i use the bodysolid,incline decline,flat bench with it.

the smith machine bar weighs 14kg and i use standard and olympic plates on it.

i definately recomend them.

i aint got a homegym

my mate bought the powertec big yellow thing

its good but very big,good if you got a big yard

are you still gonna order the same bits?

cheers
