So this is the gym setup I'm thinking of buying this week. What do you guys reckon?
- Rogue SML-1 Squat Rack ($1005.00)
- Titan Pro 7ft Olympic Barbell ($179.00)
- Fitek Bumper Plates 150kg package ($560.00)
- Force USA FID Adjustable Bench ($129.00)
- Power Maxx Adjustable Rubber Dumbells 60kg ($175.00)
- Rubber Flooring
Total of $2048.00 + cost of rubber flooring
You are spending a bunch on a US made rack but skimping on the barbell. You should be paying double that, or more. You would be much better with an ABC barbell. At least it will last longer than 6 months.
A squat rack is just something to hold your bar while you snort your ammonia and drink your red bull. There are lots of vids around on how to make your own for a few bucks. You can also make it to the height you want.
Spend more on the bar.
