After reading a ton of msgs on these forums, I finally bought a power rack. It looks great and unbelievably solid. I'm so glad I spent the extra cash over the powertec. For me it was worth it for the convenience features. I paid $799.
The Bodycraft F320 I bought on amazon for $249 shipped and hope to receive it next week. It's 2 day shipping but it says that it will ship in 3-5 days.
Thanks to everyone on these forums that saved me from shopping blind. Now I can finally do squats!
I'm a bit of noob. I started with a cable home gym system that suited me fine until I got it in me that I wanted to do deadlifts. After I bought an Ivanko barbell and 400 lbs of olympic weights, it wasn't long before I had to do squats and bench with freeweights.
I'll try to update with my impression of the bench once it arrives. As far as the rack is concerned, I couldn't be more pleased!

I'm not even sure why you posted this without pics.
If you've been perusing this forum, you had to know we'd have this discussion.
Pics or you fail.

I took the time to post to simply say thanks.
I hope you don't speak for the majority on these forums.

Its simply customary for us to give someone a hard time when they post of new equipment and don't include some pics.
Some people might say "pics or negs" or "pics or it didn't happen"......but it all means the same thing. We're equipment whores and even if we've seen something a million times....its cool to see pics of someone's new stuff in their gym.
Of course, you should know this as you've done research.
:D (<- Does this make you feel any better?)

Didn't even think about that, but since I was KIDDING with an old and obvious joke it apparently didn't matter anyway.

I'm sure you will enjoy the rack. I have the older TPR-265 rack and love it. And yes it is customary to get some grief if you tell us about new gear without pics.

Just found a pic of Keetman using his rack on the sad individual who does not post visual aids along with their happy purchases:

I believe it's an older York Commercial model.

LOL!!!!!!! :D
All you guys laugh, but I really think I cut this guy deep. I pm'd him twice, once to offer to post his pics and another about some other nastiness I don't want to divulge right now. He hasn't posted back to me and he hasn't responded here.
Jeeeeesh, I thought I was wrapped tight!
