    its not terrible but if you are taking the time to actually set up a decent home gym a full cage is a much better option.

    in the US, this looks almost exactly like something the 'garage gym store' is selling now.

    yeah but the only thing is with a power cage is that my garage has a low celling (only can fit something max height around 160cm) and most cages are taller then that

    I have the cheaper version without the spotter catchers and dip attachment things, it does the job, I only bought it because I didn't have enough money to buy a rack at the time. I bought it from their ebay store, they have free delivery and you can use paypal.

    If you can, just wait and save up for a good rack.

    I'd be carful if your getting anything from powerhouse fitness, took more then a month for me to get a power cage from there, when i got it parts where missing too.

    when phoning customer service, i think 6 times someone on the other end just picked the phone up and put it straight back down.

    Just a heads up

    Would it be possible to use the 'Bodymax CF415 Squat and Dip Rack With Spotter Catchers' with a bench for bench presses, i.e. could it be used as a "spotter" for brench pressing?

    (sorry if stupid q, I don't know much about lifting)

    if the height is the only issue for not getting a cage you should look at newyorkbarbells.com...power cages->sumo rack.

    The garage gym ones are much heavier more commercial ones, if I remember correctly the garage gym ones are made from 4mm steel and the bodymax are 2mm.
