    there are lots of places to get racks....elitefts.com, power-lift.com, samsonsequipment.com.

    I really love the Prostar half rack from performbetter.com though. It is an awesome rack...

    hate to break it to ya but as far as "good" racks go, that is about as cheap as you can get....and at that price it is really sweet, very versatile and it has holders on the front for extra bars.

    The best thing you could do is buy something nice and dependable so that in a few years you don't have to buy another.

    How much are you looking to spend?

    For the price your asking and the equipment you want, your only gonna find that at a yardsale.

    And that target one isnt bad, just buy an adjustable bench.
    Im 20. 6'3'' 235 lbs. Want to get to 8% body fat, +315 bench, +500 squat, and reach a weight between 230-240.

    I still like Squaggle's squat stand + two saw horses setup. Cheap and effective.

    You need to go to some used equipment places. There are several in St.Louis and I am sure there are in other big cities.

    also don't forget that its risky buying a rack from a place like target. they cater more towards the weekends warriors, soccer moms etc. if you are serious about lifting you'll be squatting big poundages in a couple of years time and a shitty rack will break faster than a 10 year old Ford.
