power racks?

[tay1506]

I know that this subject has been brought up alot, but i coulden't find a thread. I have been looking for a power rack, but i don't know which one to get? I am looking to spend no more than 500+ shipping. Wish i could get one from elite fts.com, however i don't have the cash and have no idea if it's worth it. I want something that will last a lifetime. I once bought this half power rack from Wieder and within a month one of the bars bent and fortunatly i diden't get hurt. Anyways I figure some of you have gyms and i wanted to know which racks you have?

Here are some that diden't look bad that were in my price range?

The top one looks nice. I've basically got the 3d one but I paid $270 total. I'll try and find the link.

How much weight do you plan to put on the rack (e.g. squat, rack deads)? Do you plan to bolt it down?

You might also check out newyorkbarbell.com or maybe it's newyorkbarbells.com

I dono hopefully within a few years ill hit my goal of 650. So that is pretty much it, but in the mean time probly a max of 400. No i don't plan on bolting it down because i can't, but i wish i could do that. And finding the link would be great thanks alot. I might end up going powertec now that i found some forums talking about it being rather good.

Thanks for the reply!!!
