Haha, well the rack's quite pretty but the floors mate, well...My parents would kill me if there was plate marks in mine!
Here are some pics of the set up in my shed, I need to get some rubber flooring but the carpet is better than nothing for the time being. Couple of posters, a fan and maybe some music wouldnt hurt either!
Overall very happy with my purchase, should make my training less of a chore from now on
How did you go finding rubber flooring for your gym? My shed's just been built so I've got the order to move my gear into there. I'm in WA as well and have been looking at the same rack you have but want to get the flooring sorted before I start moving everything in there. How long did delivery take for the rack?
Cheers.
Haven't organised the flooring/platform yet, the concrete is holding up fine. Weights are pretty hard to damage so I wouldn't worry about it too much at the beginning because its only a luxury item after all. Delivery took about 14 days (10 working days) to deliver, but that was mid december which is usually the busiest time of the year.
Do it mate, you wont regret it. 10% for ausbb members if I remember correctly also

Muscle Motion Power Rack Package 2 - $1450
Yeah im so tempted to buy this power rack. Thats the cheapest i can find it though, gymdirect.com.au doesnt load for me.
Is it a good purchase for someone who wants to get a lot stronger and more "ripped"? Can you do all the useful workout techniques with it too? Or are there cheaper options that might be better suited towards someone who doesn't want to go into anything too professional?

RE: The muscle motion power rack.
The bottom cross member seems to be a fair way up , if you were to do deads do you have to remove the bar from the cage, or can you still do deads with oly size plates 440mm ( or the grip plates 400mm) and the bar doesnt hit crossmember?
It doesnt look to be low enough but it could just be the pics.

Contact Adrian direct, he is forum member, The Hulk
you dont deadlift in a rack, you deadlift off the ground.
you do rack pulls in the rack, therefore the bar heights are adjusted to whatever level you want to work from

Thanks for the obvious Marcos, lol
I have a lack of room at the moment, a rack will fit, room to dance around it, I dont have...So I would not be able to remove the bar from the rack and then re-set up on the floor infront of it.
My question is,..does the height of the lower cross member imped the ability to perform dead lifts from the ground???? If So I would have to purchase the non comercial version that does not have the little legs, or introduce it to an angle grinder, or see if it can be made a tad different.

now the website loads for me, how odd.
anyway, it seems like its cheaper to get the bundle for $1450 that has the pulley than getting the items seperately. so even if its "useless", its still saving money.
i doubt i would need the curl bar, but im not sure what extras are "worth it" from these:
Add a squat pad $20.00
Add a pair of Olympic dumbbell handle $85.00
Add a preacher curl attachment $50.00
Add a leg curl / leg extension attachment $50.00
Add a dip attachment _ MMPR $65.00
I'd only want them if they target areas that the rest of the rack and weights wouldnt really be able to do. but im still not the most knowledgeable on this subject yet, so im still learning lol.
I figure that i've spent about the same on replacement xbox 360's. about the same for a new computer that i rarely play too. so providing this will "be useful" for me, then i think ill buy it. its just a matter of what accessories i should get with it then, lol.

a dip attachment mighty be handy.
oly db handles,.....you will need to buy atleats 4 of each plate to make em usefull.
you could get a cheap standard spin lock set for about the same price.. and leave the oly plates for the oly bar. BUt haveing everything matching would be nice.
or you could buy a few kettle bells instead

And as PTC said, definately PM The Hulk. Adrian will be able to look after you if you don't want the lat pulldown.

My mate has the musclemotion rack & bench however I decided to go with the forceUSA rack and bench for a few reasons:
- Has band pegs both top and the bottom
- Came with dip handles as standard (not $65 extra)
- had a heap more adjustments which is great for getting good lift height (I'm a powerlifter)
- the lat pull down system is heaps smoother, has 2x cylindical guide posts on lat pull instead of square tube so seems to be much less friction
- Bench is more stable and stronger design which is good for fat pricks like me who like to lift heavy
