I would need a different dip station with that rack and also make sure the thing fits in my garage as I might have to get rid of a couple more things before I could have some decent clearance around it .
If you're ditching the pulley then it'd be better to change the allocation of plates. Better off having 2 of each smaller plate and then just adding 20s as you go. Unless you're into drop sets.
The way I'd do it would be:
6x 20
2x 10
2x 5
2x 2.5
2x 1.25
2x .50 (if they have them)
Thanks Jeff , that configuration is much better but Im not sure if the price would change for the package .
Im currently making some more room in my garage to see if I can squeeze the big rack in otherwise I will have to get the PR1002 rack. I like the dips on that rack and the safeties will not be an issue with space in the garage .
I will have to drop them a line and see if the weights plates can be arranged differently .
I assume it'd be more expensive. If that's an issue I'd get 4x20s, which should drop the price, and get extra 20s as money permits.
If I were buying things again I'd definitely get a rack with plate holders. Just makes things so much more convenient. When you're thinking about how much space you need, consider where you're going to put the plates.
I was told I could hang weight off the band pegs on the PR1002 , I like the commercial rack for the built in rack and it overall weight so I know its not going to move about . I need another 1.2 meters clearance on the safeties out the front of it though .
Okay so I went with the PR1002 rack , commercial flat bench , body solid olympic weight tree , 1500lb bar and the following weights , 2 x 2.5kg , 2 x 5kg , 2 x 10kg , 2 x 20kg and 2 x 25kg .
Rack has been assembled and I will give a review of it soon .
