Power rack!!!! Safety bars just below the bosy.

I had 455 lbs come crashing down towards my face, a quick twist of my head and I was safe.

OK, we got one and were trying to figure out how to set it up concerned about messing with normal groove, but I can see what you are saying thanks

Exactly what made him drop the bar?

The power rack I use is a cage not a machine. No groove to mess up.

Parabellum, would it happen to be this power rack?

If so, is this where you got it? If not, How much did you pay?

If its not the one, what one did you get, where from, and how much?

Droping the bar on your nose

Was it a pretty nose?

Next time, don't let it hit your nose, just bite that sombitch.

Yes I believe that is what he's refering to. However that one is kinda light duty. 1" pins?
Likely it's suitable for most benchers, but I would not squat in it.

A heavy duty cage is going to cost a lot more then $259.

If you want to see some serious equipment do a google search on

thanks for replies, I haven't seen the rack yet but he paid something like 500+ bucks for it and said it is a good one, hasn't been delivered yet will let you know what it is exactly, the bar didn't hit his nose, we figured out it was my thumb that smacked him when I grabbed it and he turned his head, he thinks it was the double denim Inzer shirt that caused the bar to ride up and get him out of groove he didn't actually drop it just couldn't push it up
