    Bench is in good condition sookie. The rest of the rack is actually more than fine, except what i've mentioned. Opened the caps on the barbell container and had a rough look at the barbell earlier. There were some what seem to be minor dent marks on one end. Will have a better look after uni...

    I couldnt stand the bits and pieces lying around so i assembled it after uni today. With that are some more bad news.. There was a bad nut and ended up damaging the bolt thread. Had to go to bunnings to get a new one. The package was one washer short as well.. Bit frustrated when i found...

    thanks for the replies people. Being inexperienced and a bit of a perfectionist im not sure what i should have expected. I thought they would have at least arrived in better conditions than pictured. I think i will assemble it anyway, and email gymdirect and see what they can do. Regarding...

    Just a thought, has gymdirect or anyone that has this rack thought about designing/making safeties similar to the ones on the powertec rack? Eliminating the need of sliding the whole pin out. Cheers,

    Hi Alpha Moth, That's very good to hear! Do you have your rack placed back right against the wall? I want to know if doing that would stop me from using the rear posts.

    Will placing the MMPR rack back against the wall eliminate usage of the rear posts? It doesnt look like it would have any effect from the pictures on the product page but im not sure.

    I think you might have been confused, its actually a big closet inside the wall, not cupboards. Either way im not bothered if the original floor plan blocks 1 or 2 of the doors as i seldom use that side of the closet anyway. i've played around a bit more with the floor plane in according to what...

    newbie home gym setup

    Hi deep, im planning to learn the oly lifts down the track so im just investing in them now instead of having to spend money again to get them later on. From what i've gathered 3m is fine but not ideal. but exercises like overhead press are not recommended. Not saying you cant do it. It would...

    This is problematic. Im not exactly sure if i will have enough clearance to pull the bars out :(. Here's a floor plan for what it would look like with the rack(blue) in place. Please note everything might not be in scale, but close. The floor plan seem to give the illusion that i have a lot...
