I've been looking at this also.
Unsure exactly what options you went with though.
Power Rack 1349
Plus options:
Cable Cross Over 350
Pec Deck 195
1500lb Barbell 50
Commercial Bench 150
DB 100
Extra 105kg plates 105
Total $2299
So I'm assuming you didnt get the Cable Cross Over and Pec Deck ?
Which would make it $1754 which is still a great dead at $1500
Also did you pick it up I noticed delivery is over $200, pick up from Melbourne says Laverton, but the Springvale store would be much more convenient for me. So if they're willing to send to their stores it would be much easier for me to do a pick up.
I had to do finance, so the prices were not as good as a cash deal however they still honoured the internet pricing and gave me some discount on top.
I ended up getting the full system:
Rack, Pec, Lat, Crossovers
200kg Olympic weight (Still waiting for half of it to come in stock)
Force USA Commercial Flat Incline Bench. BEAST!
Force USA Olympic Bar 1500 Thrust
Force USA Olympic Dumbbells
4 x Strength Bands
Tricep Rope
I have set it all up now besides the Crossovers (For the next 9 weeks there is no room for them)
I will give you my 100% honest advice:
This Brand has really impressed me. The frame of the bench is seriously like a car part, (gearbox or something lol) you can feel the quality right away. The rack is incredibly strong and has the best options in comparison to the the others I have looked at. Everything from the upright bars all the way through to the nuts and bolts are heavy duty and unbreakable, if someone has told you differently then I think you should slap them. The ultra easy packaging and numbering system made for a very helpful setup also, every single item has a number and when you look at the nuts and bolts and misc stuff they are on a flat piece of cardboard with the items on it (next to the appropriate item number in correspondence with the manual) and then a sheet of plastic heat tightened over it. It was very refreshing to see it done this way!
INSTALLATION AND SETUP HINTS
1. If you get the whole system like me, make sure you set the Lat system and the Pec Deck system up at the same time as they are connected together through the pulley system (Learnt this the hard way and built Lat system first)
2. If you have got the full pack, it's hard to get a spotter in, however I put my bench in backwards so the head of is at the front of the cage giving complete freedom.
3. I inverted my pullup bar as the ceiling is slightly too low! It works fine
4. There are a lot of items (buts, bolts, brackets) that have already been "put together" for you; for example the J Hooks, but in the manual under contents included in the box it lists every part separately which confused me as I thought I was missing a bunch of stuff but really the gear was already attatched to things. Make sure you look at each number of the items you're confused about and then match that with the image on the Exploded Contents page
5. They actually list the band pegs as "long weight posts" in the manual which I thought was interesting since everyone uses them for this anyway, shops still call them band pegs. I guess maybe to cover their ass if you over stack them or something
Here is the pic at the limited space I have at the moment. This will be moved in a couple of months when I move
