Good online source for equipment?

Anyone? I am really looking for a new smith machine, very basic. I NEED to do squats and that is the one thing I can't do safely at home.

Thanks

I just bought their #2005 smith machine. $443 plus change with the optional bench.

Smith machine squats are not real squats. Get a power rack. It's just as safe and much more effective and versatile.

Sikzac, I have zero experience with power rack. I have seen a few pics, but I couldn't tell if they had anything to prevent failure?

Smith machines will never make you big or strong, you will not grow and you can get injured easily...go to www.elitefts.com and check out their products including the power rack and the bands..This is by far the best training siter online. yes it os powerlifting but their equipment can also be used for bodybuilding training just as easily.l Check out their free articles and you are on your way to bigger and stronger muscles

And probably a LOT cheaper! It would be hard to buy online, esp cuz of the shipping costs. Do you have the "recycler" or "penny saver" type of papers where you live? They rule for buying cheap used stuff!

Thanks everone for the advice, I will have to take a close look at them so I understand what you are all talking about. I am sure it will make sense when I see one up close.
