Gymdirect Pro Squat Rack
Hi All,
Glad I found the forum as I have a question I am hoping you can help me answer.
I intend on getting stuck into gym again after many years of doing not much, I know, I suck.
I don't want to go to a gym as I have tried that and I just can't make that commitment and stick to it. Either time is an issue or just getting to the gym in the first place.
So if I'm going to do gym its got to be done at home.
I have a gym room already with a cross trainer for some cardio, a bench press (old, rickety, crusty), Muscle Motion Preacher Curl unit and plenty of dumb bells and regular sized plate weights.
I'm wanting to do this properly and I'm prepared to spend the money required to get setup to do this correctly. I'm wanting to do some squats etc's and was thinking of getting a unit that will allow this. I have read that you would want to do regular barbell squats on top of smith machine squats in the interest of developing the supporting muscles as well.
Anyways... enough with my rambling.
I have been looking at this unit as something that would possibly be good value and enable me to do a number of exercises.
Package 6 - Smith Machine
I'm open to any suggestions. Should I be looking at something else? What would you guys recommend ?
I usually prefer to buy the right equipment at the start and perhaps paying a bit more than I could really get away with than rather than throwing it all out and upgrading again when I out grow it.
