Looking at purchasing the above package with a prowler and some kettlebells for my garage gym.
Just seeing if anyone else uses this rack, and if the dip handles are decent as well.
Mate that is prob the best set-up you could get, I wanted that exact set-up but couldnt allocate a permanent area for it so I went with squat stands. I read somewhere on here that flipping the chin bar is fine and been done before with no hassels what so ever. Go ahead and purchase the beast mate, you lucky basted!
I bought the dip handles. i don't do many dips at the moment because i'm weak but the one or two i have pushed out have been fine. Plus, the extra cash is almost nothing in the total cost.
I have my rack in the shed where ceiling height is not an issue. the only thin you would lose in my mind is the angled handles for wide pull upps... prob not a major issue. I think one of the dudes oin here has reversed them as well., The rack itself is built like a tank. only complaint is the jhooks are rough, which can and will eat into the bar knurling (eventuallY but at the edges). this is easily fixed with some cloth (banjo but does the job) or some heavy duty goretex/teflon tape.
Great price in the package deal.
Can't think of anything else to say but if you have any more q's i'll do my best to answer
Yeh the assult rack looks awesome as well, but that bench that comes with the Gym Direct pack is awesome mate. My old gym had 3 of them, they are dam near unbreakable.

Was this after they updated the force USA rack, I'm looking at getting a few more racks, I have the GD and was looking at the force USA ones, what do you like less about them?
With the one I have:
The footprint is much larger.
Its taller
The J-hooks are too deep.
The cage is wider which makes walking squats out hard for some.
I have 5 squat racks/cages and its my LAST choice.
