Power Rack
What's a good brand of power rack (and a good place to buy it online)?
Thanks.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

it looks like the steel beams on each side are going to get in the way of doing deeper squats. Originally Posted by Bakerboy

and, I usually like my racks to have sort of elevation on the bottom beam, closest to the floor (the one attaching fron to back), so that you can hook up bands.Optimum Sports Performance

Do you know of another system like the one I posted that would be good for deeper squats? I don't need a cage just something solid. I really need a better and safer system then I have now.

Thanks for your help P. I'm going to try and find a half rack like that. I didn't realize the safety bars on the other one didn't go low enough, I'm sure glad I didn't buy it! I will look tomorrow at some places I think may have half racks.
