comp benchers are a must, Not keen on theLife fitness ones iron edge supplies, they just bounce around, limited adustability, and no face savers.
ABC bars are the cheapest I would go, as long as its the proper black nitride bars, they are a massive step up from the iron edge items
also plenty of quality platforms, the iron edge premium and standard bumbers are pretty good., for teh cost of a mono you could get a few decent cages, better way to spend the money, until there is competing powerlifters there.
next time your in Rocky drop in to Scrutiny strength and conditioning, or send your gym owner down for a look.

There's more than in the photo (including calibrated Ivanko plates) but including shipping and install about $230,000

Not completely sure about the reason for belts over hard savers. Got a look at the nearly finished setup yesterday, very impressed. We attempted to squat but the timber floors underneath the racks were too slippery. Does anyone know if the floors have to be conditioned, roughed up, or just worn in?

Hey mate, did you help with the purchase/install? Is that including the crossfit section? There's 600kg+ of calibrated Ivanko plates behind me in the picture.

Re: the platforms. Get the shine off it as quickly as you can. Should start to grip a bit better
re: the slings. That's what they're designed for, however any reduction of damage to the bar is pretty minimal and we've had bars bounce out of the racks off them lol. The guys within the company that actually lift have been pushing for a full length spotting arm but the guys upstairs don't like them
Re: my involvement. Not much on this order. Just mainly making sure the stock debuted correctly and keeping the sales rep up to date with where the back ordered items were at!

I just (literally 30 seconds ago lol) spoke to one of the engineers about the timber
- he said don't squat in socks lol, and if it doesn't wear in try and run some rubber or something like that over it to leave a bit of a coating

I spoke to our sales rep that did this order and he will be heading up pretty soon
if the platform hasn't worn in naturally he's going to try and sand back some of the gloss finish on it, and he's going to try and sort out a double deadlift jack instead of those pox single ones

Oh man, double deadlift jacks would be awesome, we used the single ones today, kinda a pain in the ass. Cheers.
