I could pick this rack up for $295 Adjustable Squat Rack Barbell Weight Stand.
I know its not a power cage but I simply can't fit one. This thing is cheap, looks sturdy and has big safety catches. Rated up to 500lbs. I'm also assuming I could use it for safe bench presses?
I could also buy x2 20KG weight plates off these guys for just $80 pickup. So I'd be upgrading significantly for just $375.
I used to have that exact stand for squats, its OK but when i threw the bar back into the rack it would tip forward.
I bought the Olympic weights set from Cyberfit, good stuff.
^ surely you jest
What's the issue?
You're a braver man than me if you'd attempt to use them for squatting
Sorry if you misunderstood me zan, yes I was referring to those 'squat stands'I see. I thought u were referring to my buying strategies. I only use a power rack myself so have no idea as to the quality of any squat stands. Merely just trying to help out
So if I was going to buy a cage, I couldn't do any chin ups as my roof is too low.
cage = safer than squat standThis is why I'm looking for very safe squat stands as they dont take up as much room . I think the ones I linked seemed sturdy at least, I might go in store and check if they are suitable for benching as well
I currently own these
50kg Barbell / Dumbbell Set - Bars - Free Weights - Strength | Workout World?
+ a York Gym Bench
I'm working on a budget here and don't want to spend more than $500. I was thinking of buy this squat rack TREADMILL WAREHOUSE - Exercise Fitness BODYWORX - BODYWORX ADJUSTABLE SQUAT/DIP STAND - Benches
But then I would need to buy some more weights which could start to get expensive. Or should I sell the barbell + weights I currently have?
Could anybody link me to some cheap, good quality equipment to set up a small home gym? I'm looking at doing starting strength.
