Power Rack

[HungryKid12]

Hi guys,

Do you think this power rack is good (cyber-market.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=234&osCsid=06151ab8f59b0d6a9bf417f6a9c8c1a0), its compact enough to fit into my room.

Thanks

It links to the main page. I'm guessing you mean the light safety rack?

I've seen it on ebay before and I must say it looks pretty solid. The chin up bar is a bit weird though.

If you could fit that into your room you could also fit the muscle motion which is way more reputable.

The main prob is the height, this rack is only 210cm, musclemotion is 221cm but my room's only 220...

That's an odd height....

2.4 is standard roof height

hmmm think I better take my measurements again then(it's over at the new house). Thanks for the advice though.

Something you might wanna consider if its still too high -

Take the chinning bar off and have your own welded up (a straight bar with two bits on the side to bolt onto the rack). It wouldn't be that expensive and would cut a good 10cm from the height easy.

For the muscle motion rack, you can assemble the chinning bar in the reverse way i.e. upside down and save a few cms. Your only downside would be loss of wide-grip chins, but still plenty of chinning variations with that rack. I've got it, it's excellent.

So instead of /.........\ you assemble it like this \........../. The chinning bar then sits slightly below the top of the rack rather than slightly above it.

great idea DKD, i'd definitely go with the Muscle Motion Power Rack.
Gym Direct are selling it and they offer a 10% discount to all Ausbb members!
