    Question Weider Power Rack/weights/etc...any good?

    I've been lifting for the past 6 months with dumbbells, on a Reebok Stay Ball for a bench and I think it's time to move on...I think the ball may explode! I came across this:

    "Must go! All weights and Bench. We moved out of state and it will be too much to move all the pieces across state. COMES WITH 310LBS WEIGHT/ WEIGHT TREE/ BENCH
    ITS A WEIDER PULLEY SYSTEM WITH SPOTTER BARS FOR BENCH PRESS / AND SQUAT RACK - $200 or b/o."

    Below are the pics. Would this be a good deal, or is the cage etc. crap? Looking to save money buying used as the new stuff you could make a mortgage payment with! Any input would help & thanks in advance.

    The power rack and plates are some of the few things that Weider makes that aren't too bad.That bench is really a piece of junk though.I'd say offer him $150.

    i agree. i just upgraded from a weider rack, it wasn't that bad. the bench is junk, the pulldown was too. the rack itself was decent, i used it for about 2 years with no problems. i didn't like the chin bar, either, i like straight ones. i think for 150 or so you'll be happy with it.
