Question Power Racks

Hi all,

I am looking to get a power rack as i don't want to drop iron on my head as i now find i am likely to do with the overhead press!

I am looking at the Body Solid power rack and the Power tec one. Both seem much the same but before i go and have a look at them i was wondering if any-one out there has any experience of these products?

Cheers for any help or advice you can give. Carl.

I've got this bodysolid power rack:

You cant do overhead press in it though cause you will hit the bars at the top :(

Im 5' 10" so most people would have the same problem..

It looks like that with most of them, i presume there's enough space though for a seated overhead press?

Sitting down is not a prob.

Any-one else out there with power rack they are happy with and would recommend?
