I have 2 pairs of JME stand, all of my squatting is done out of them.
Craig is a top bloke, and as I understand, actually makes all the gear for Australian KB.
@ Hamburgler: And you think the IE are better than the JME?, they are a pretty good price.
@Sticky: Well if your using the JME, I know they must be solid as fuurk LOL, seen your vids.
The Rogue stood out as far as versatility goes as it can be used for bench press/chins as well. Just want to know if they would be strong though.
The IE ones have a slightly wider base, more weld points and the steel seems to be bigger (not the thickness, just the overall area it covers)
tbh though I don't think the JME ones will fall apart.
Rick mentioned something about the new IE stands being a bit cheaper but it doesn't look to have eventuated lol
You will find you can't bench with them though unless you are doing incline or raise up your bench, though you could easily get a quote to customise it, or get bench hooks welded on to a fixed height.
I think the Rogue Fitness stands are similar to this: Assault Rack Deluxe - Iron Edge / Australian Kettlebells
But I can't comment on quality because I've never seen one in person before (the Rogue one, seen the assault rack up close a few times)
Yeh, the assault rack from IE looks awesome, but the dollars are to exy for me. I could wait and save more, but i really want to get this home set-up sorted before Xmas as my gym closes for 3 fuuurken weeks, the owner/operator is going away. Plus the extra coin could get me more plates, and that's what i want the most.
Yeh I considered the pack with the pendlay bar, but decided to get the Texas bar from UGE instead, got the last one. Still want their weight plates though, they look the goods.
