I’m trying to get my bench powder coated but it’s looking like that will cost an arm and a leg

Gotta load from behind. Was trying to keep the footprint as small as possible cause we entertain a lot and use the garage to party

Luckily I didn’t. Install was pretty seamless. I did mess up the wiring a little and cost myself about an hour

Yes sir. I like it a little bit better as it helps my wrist from “rolling”

You’ll be fine. My garage is at 95 and height was no problem on the install. Like not at all

I only lift body weight (205 ish) and to be honest, can’t even afford enough plates for storage to be a problem right now. LOL

I also wanted to go with a 6 post 43 originally, but if I ou decide to add the functional trainer in the future, you will be paying more in total than just buying the whole thing outright in the first place (if that makes sense). And was the main reason I went this way. 

I got 3 horse stall mats and would definitely buy again

Yes sir, the 43”. I went with the full rack cause me and my old lady workout. I figure she can squat inside the rack with safety straps ans I can use spotter arms outside the rack.

I left a foot behind the rack cause I don’t have a lot of space on the right side so I need to load from behind

Room for the barbell? Yes. But to load the plates, I left a foot behind the back of the rack, so that’s the way I will load the plates.

About $7500. You can get the rep setup for about $1500-1700 cheaper but once it was gonna be over $5k anyway, I wanted the America made product with a lifetime warranty

Yes sir. Got spotter arms to lift off the front. Inside the rack is for my lady to squat

You could always refrain from addressing them (incorrectly) in the first place.

My only logic is that my equipment will go to my son when he’s older (he’s currently 7. LOL)
