    Power rack or leverage gym

    Hey guys i'm going to start weight lifting this summer. I have read up on almost everything I need to know about bodybuilding like training and nutrition etc. I have a $1000 budget (but I can spend up to $1500) to buy all my equipment. Most people have a power rack with a bench and maybe lat tower and a barbell and a set of weights. I also saw the powertec workbench leverage gym and I am not sure which to choose. I have a 11' by 9' area to workout in. The ultimate question is should I buy the power rack setup or a leverage gym setup?

    with a 1500 dollar budget, if you spend wisely and use craigslist, you can get tons of good gear.

    Deifnately go with the rack and free weights!
