Which Powerack..?

I had my mind set on the powertec rack, the added bonus being that I could invert the chin up bar to give a lower height for chin/pull ups than any other rack. However I've just bought a power tower second had on the cheap and can use this for chins instead so my options are wide open again..

Any suggestions on a rack to get, it's not going to be holding anything over 150KG, on a regular basis, maybe higher than that for the occasional rack pull..

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Re: Which Powerack..?

Search my posts and you'll see what i recommended to someone before.
