Hi Alpha Moth,if height is an issue chin up bar can be put upside down.
i got the same rack, 2 years old and no issues besides some wear and tear which is normal. i cant imagine ever needing a new one
have the same bar, no issues, not bent at all.
Sweet!Hi Ben,
No problem putting the base of the rack touching the back wall.
This will then make the front face of the rear posts 380mm from the wall.
when you add the radius of the barbell shaft, this gives you 400mm distance from the axis of the barbell to the back wall + 20mm if you have skirting boards.
Full sized weight plates are 225mm radius, so you will have almost 200mm clearance between the wall and the edge of the plates when the bar is hard up against the rear posts.
Hi,
This is one of those newbie home gym setup thread again. I'm in the process of saving up to build a home gym in my bedroom, which will just be consist of a rack, a bar, a bench and some free weights.
At the moment I'm thinking about sourcing all the items(below) from gymdirect:
150kg bumpers - $749
MMPR power rack - $595
600Kg rated thrust bearing oly bar - $199
commercial flat bench - $295
fractional plate set - $60
pair of 2.5kg rubber coated plates - $14.80
Cheers,
Ben
So i've placed the order for the above items + 3m2 of rubber tiles. bumpers not in stock at the moment so ill have to wait till mid-july...150kg bumpers - $749
MMPR power rack - $595
600Kg rated thrust bearing oly bar - $199
commercial flat bench - $295
fractional plate set - $60
pair of 2.5kg rubber coated plates - $14.80
Just a thought, has gymdirect or anyone that has this rack thought about designing/making safeties similar to the ones on the powertec rack? Eliminating the need of sliding the whole pin out.
Cheers,
Tbh I would expect a new Rack to be better welded and rust free.
I've already emailed Lily and Adrian about the problems mentioned in my last post, and pointed them to this thread. Here's hoping there will be some answers tomorrow. It's hard to tell whether the rust happened during transit or before. The package was wrapped up pretty well.Mate, my rack from GD arrived in good nick. I'd be pretty pissed off to receive it in that condition. You're not paying peanuts and you're entitled to better quality workmanship than that. I'd be discussing your options with them.
Sookie, gymdirect has some pretty good photos of what the bench look like. Im not sure why you want me to post some. I will get some up tomorrow if you insist.Can you upload some pics of the bench please front on an upside down? Curious on what it looks like.
