    I'd recommend getting a one nice, used kettlebell -- one of moderate weight that can be used to learn your way around a kettlebell. In my book, the uglier and the cheaper the better. But, of...

    My power rack is only 28" deep. It's an older one, good and sturdy. My very first rack was only 24" deep. You get used to it, and you can do everything in it.
