3 Power Racks: Which Has The Best Bang for Buck?

[SaintBee]

Hi all,

I'm creating a basic home gym and my first purchase is going to be a power rack. Since I live in Australia, my choices are limited. I have narrowed my choice to three models. Which of these has three has the best quality for the price you pay?

I am planning on using my home gym exclusively for all my workouts. This power rack is intended for long-term use.

Thanks in advance
Bee

they look all pretty much the same, i say go with the cheapest.

besides, you can do pull-ups on the third one. better than doing pull-down on the first two IMO

tehy all look the same. the only difference is going to be durability. I have never used anything from the makers of the last 2. York is a pretty trusted name in strength equpiment (although from what I hear, their products have started to decline). I would probably roll with that one though.

Exactly my thoughts, even if the York one is more durable. I can't imagine it breaking down tbh.

You don't need a round bar to do pullups. He can do them off the top of the rack.

I'd go with the one with the lat pulldown if the bar is detachable. You could buy extra attachments, and use it for other things.

I would have to say I have never heard of the other 2, however it is always nice to have cables for things like cable crunches and such. In the end its just how much do you wanna spend?

Look for a Power Rack called Strength System. that what mine is. it has pullup/chinup bar. lat-puldown. low/high pulley. dip attatchment on the side. and in came with a nice adjustable bench with leg extension and preacher curl pad. all for 500 bucks. nice outfit

are these three your only options?

I say get whatever your wallet can afford as well as your height and girth. If it were me at 6'2", the bodycraft would be suitable-I like it old school.
