Powertec Power Rack Owners ?

Hey guys, if you own a Powertec Power rack can you let me know how it has perforemed. What you like dont like about it.

Also add in your weight, I alot of reviews say that doing pull ups on it is fine, but it weights 100 and I weigh 103, so I would like to know if that would make a big problem.

Thanks
 
Most of us have muscle motions. Same thing but aussie brand and a fair bit cheaper.

btw - any rack under 200kg is going to move like a bitch.
 
Heaviest I've used mine was 95kg bodyweight, but I add weight to my pull/chinups so I would have been 100+. It's fine.

It holds the bar, safeties catch the bar when you fail, it has dip handles that are sturdy (use them INSIDE the rack or you will tip it - lesson learnt by me so you don't have to :D)

I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

Well, okay one minus - doing dips you need to be careful of your head on the way up. I'm 180cm and use height 15/16 so the weight I hang doesn't hit the floor, and I need to remember to not lean forward excessively else the rack will remind me not to.
 
I have one. I have bolted it to the ground. It used to move around a little when I racked weight. Otherwise its been awesome. I have used up to 300kg.
 
No. It has the widest width possible (allowing safe racking as well) without having a sumo base.

Btw, yes I have one. I weigh 90kg. It moves a bit when im doing muscle ups so I put some weight on the bar in the rack, simple. Never had anything on it break or fail. I've owned it for 2 years.
