Are these a good buy??

[RicerCaker]

Hi All,

I'm basically looking to put together a starter home gym. I've gone through the FAQ and read that a Power Rack, FID Bench and some Olympic Weights are pretty much the Top 3 items to purchase.

Would like opinions on whether these are good buys in terms of quality. Anyone who owns or has used the following, your opinions/comments are greatly appreciated.

Powertec Power Rack

Body Solid FID Bench

OR

Powertec Utility Bench PUB

Thanks!

Powertec rack and Body solid bench are two good choices. I would have liked a rack with a straight pullup bar but that's me. Either way you'll love these two pieces.

Should try craiglist! I dont know where in ontario you are from exactly but I've seen some decent power racks / bench on craiglist lately.
