    Power rack suitability

    Yes, I agree it's a great looking half-rack with good long safeties and the added storage pegs. Unfortunately, the Cyberfit site reckons its 2.5m high. Just too tall for my space...

    Power rack suitability

    The MMPR is $595, the LC2 $575, so only a $20 difference. The packages, on the other hand, are very different. From gym direct - MMPR rack, asfid bench, oly bar and 80kg weights: $1150 + freight. From Cyberfit - LC2 rack, fid bench, oly bar and 140kg weights: $1178 + freight. So 60kg of...

    Power rack suitability

    Cheers Brick, I'm glad you have finally added to the thread - I was hoping you'd weigh in with your opinion of the LC2. An honest and straight-forward review. Part of me completely agrees with you but part of me also wants nice new & shiny quality(ish) gear that will do me for 10+ years. I...

    Power rack suitability

    Sorry mameimo, can't help you on that, I haven't seen any of these racks in person and am trying to make a buying decision based on opinions only! I'm sure someone here can advise you though. Good luck mate. Back to my decision, or rather my indecision! I've sort of ruled out the force USA rack...

    He's talking about the UFS when he speaks about seeing it in the flesh, but is referring to the Iron Edge Assault Rack when he uses the words 'assault rack'. Correct me if I'm wrong drifter!

    Power rack suitability

    Yes, that UFS looks pretty solid, good size safeties and extra long base to compensate. Reasonable price aswell (now I'm conditioned to the price of half-racks/squat stands!). By the way Drifter, thanks for introducing new brands - even more for me to look into ;) Although I value your opinion...

    Power rack suitability

    Anyone have any opinions on the half-rack package from Samsfitness ($1,190.00): Half Rack Package I could then add the dip attachment to the bench, add some cheap dumbells and some more weight and it should just come in around budget. EDIT: I can see that the biggest con of this half-rack are...

    Power rack suitability

    Hi Drifter, Thanks for the new line of enquiry. Hadn't thought of half-rack/squat stands because I wasn't sure they would be that stable/solid. I wanted to buy one rack that would last me for years, possibly life (I don't intend to break any lifting records and I'm not the strongest guy (yet...

    Power rack suitability

    Hi oldcorollas, Thanks for the very speedy reply to question 1. The dimensions of the powertec are: Length: 128cm Width: 127cm Height: 213cm From the link you sent me, I see the safeties will apparently just pop out within the footprint of the rack, which is great, but do you think having...

    Power rack suitability

    Hi guys, My first post; so hoping someone can help or advise. I'm a complete noob to power racks. Have been researching the forum for the last few nights (information overload!). I've been looking at buying a (non-commercial) rack, bench, oly bar & dumbells and as much weight as I can afford...
