Power rack - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hello,

I am looking at getting a power rack and i notice loads on the market, though i'm not averse to getting one fabricated as there is a good metal shop locally.

If i bought one what is recommended as i notice a lot of the commercial ones do not seem to have that much adjustment and this seems to be quite an important factor.

If i had one made has anyone had this done and what did you end up with? Something you were pleased with for the price? or would you have rather bought one and if so which?

Cheers all

I'm think of doing the same thing. I have priced materials at around £140 and have a few mates who are welders. so for me it will work out cheaper than buying from manufacturer.The money i save i will just buy more weights. If you have a copy of beyond brawn there is a diagram on page 167. You could use that as a guidence and then tweak the sizes to suit.

I do have the copy of Beyond Brawn and even though i've not approached any-one to make one up i suspect it will be cheaper to do so.

I have looked on the internet at a whole load but most do not seem to have that much real adjustment. The price is a factor too.

Mind you i like the look of the Powertec one ..... http://www.powertecfitness.com/power_rack_systemo.htm........ but it's one thing seeing a picture and another thing knowing if it is suitable.

Cheers.
