Need Opinions!!- Which Power Rack Do You Like Better???

[Texas Ranger]

Is this Power Rack worth the extra cheese? http://bestbuyfitness.webdirectbrands.com/product.asp?intProdID=104#111 I was planning to get the Lat/Low Row attachment & 200lbs weight stack. With it I can do Lat Pulldowns, Cable Rows, Tricep Pushdowns, Cable Lateral Raises for Delts, and Cable Curls for Biceps. None of them are REALLY necessary exercises, but good to have around. It comes up to $748. I was also looking at this Power Rack made by newyorkbarbells.com. http://www.newyorkbarbells.tv/92552.html I would still be able to do the basics. Plus, it costs $349. What do you think???

As far as the racks go, without the accessories added, Id go with the BodyCraft rack. It looks more durable with the thicker steel rods and seems to have around the same amount of pin holes for different heights.It says 1000lbs capacity while I couldnt find the capacity listed for the other. I think Id pay the 50$ extra for the rack alone. The accessories are harder to compare. Are they worth it to you? Sounds interesting, but the freeweights in the rack along with some chin-ups should be pretty effective. Thats alot of exercises you can do, just in the rack alone. Hope that helps

The only thing is the hooks go toward the inside. So, you can't work outside of the Rack on the Bodycraft.

What would you do outside the rack? It seems to have mountable supports to hold the bar, for benching,squats,shrugs etc. Aside from that deadlifts can be done off the floor. Unless Im missing something
