I have alot of ironmaster stuff and at some point will get their kettle bells but how come I feel like instead of me mastering the iron I feel like its mastering me? LOL :D.
It has to be new for insurance reasons, I am getting money back from a flood damage.
in regard to plate holder, I am looking for a cage that has the plate holders already bolted/welded onto it.
This is odd....don't they just cut you a check for the amount you lost after they've verified or are at least happy with your account of what you had? I've only had one claim in my life and after I got the check I could've spent it all on bourbon & hookers if I'd wanted to. I decided to pass on the bourbon.
I think I'm in love. Sorinex recently posted their latest install at Auburn University. The racks they installed have all the goodies that we already know sorinex has but they also have attached a lat pull/low row to one side and an adjustable cable column to the other. They both have a 300lb stack and the pulley guards have been machined to look like revolvers. Beautiful racks.
hey guys im looking at buying the Powertec Rack System WB-PR11-B rack, and wondering if its worth getting the bench for a extra $300 or if anyone can recommend me a better bench for a better price?

hey guys what do you think of this rack, its hard to find one in australia, i can get this for about $500AUS dilivered, i just woried about it not being big enough or something, worth getting? i have plenty of room in my garage.
I've never negotiated for used equipment before so take this for what it.s worth but I'd easily pay $1000 even used with stats like that.
Maybe initially offer $800?
Gave up on the rack. Seems like a nice rack but I don't think it'll be that useful in crossfit. Plus that 2 hr drive each way just doesn't seem that enticing lol. My Tds rack is fine for now.
So first off this is an awesome thread with a LOT of information in one spot, allbeit thirty couple pages LOL.
So few questions/clarification on options.
I am going to be building my own rack for a few reasons, Havent seen one out there that seems to have all the goodies in one package (that I can afford anyway LOL),
Because I like building my own stuff and because I can have all the goodies at a cost controlled price.
From what I have gathered here are the principals behind the rack im going to build this spring
-----3 x 3 tubing probably 7 gauge maybe 11 Gauge have not decided for sure yet----Thoughts????
-----Fully welded Side sections with 3/8" CNC cut plates
-----Sumo rack width 42" wide or so, 36" deep at least, for good ROM movements
-----Infinite adjustable safeties for bench press & squat with UHMF to protect bar,Will be really nice & give me the most adjustable ROM vs 2-3"+
-----At least 2 Sets of J-hooks with UHMF to protect the bar and coating
-----Safety Arms built for the front to allow work outside the rack, not sure yet whether these will be built into the bench safeties or seperate
-----Multigrip Monkey Style Bar with a 1.25" front and a 2" Fat bar rear. Thoughts on knurling on the grips vs just smooth??
-----Plate storage on the back side (possibly put UHMF on them not sure yet) I kinda like the "Weight Racks Wing Out" setup so may go that route
-----Storage hooks for Chains and Bands
-----Several Holes top and bottom for band work
-----Storage for Olympic Bars, UHMF lined if I can find it.
-----Numbered Holes on the 4 uprights for ease of use
-----Lat Pull setup on the back side
-----Adjustable Dip attachment on the side (possibly attached to the Bench Press Safties)
-----Looking for min 800lbs use, dont ever want to outgrow it & I like to have more than enough than that OH S!!T I wish I had done that different
-----Some pretty cool cutouts across the top for stability and looks-----Dont want to have to attach it to the floor at all
-----Have'nt started playing with bench Ideas so should I make an attachment to lock a bench into the rack or not, Probably should for the LAT Pull
-----Not sure yet on Powder Coat or Paint, my current oven is not big enough to Bake it but a buddy of mine has a big enough oven to do it
-----Gonna play with some type of Dumbell Rack Safeties, to set them in to start out instead of holding them & rolling back then dropping them.
The X-43M Multi Grip Crossmember for the Rogue R-3, R-4, and R-6 is now available. (I'm on their email alert list.)
Ordered mine last night

If you are serious about doing this I would start your own thread about it. You will most likely get much more feedback that way. I think once you start adding everything up though, you will find that buying one will be much easier and will come with less headaches. It will also not save you much money considering the cost of steel and the amount of time it will take. But I would love to see it come to fruition if you do decide to build it yourself, it would make for a good thread.

Bro, dont be out to reinvent da wheel...
Copy a pro rack look at the picture of da 3x3 efts and jus biuld dat rack as a replicate it.
Paint or poweder be up to you, da say paint be easier to touch up, I dont know I like a flat black electrostatic coat.
Will rep for good push pin style racks. (Already seen Bodycraft F430) looking for other options that may be cheaper.
Thanks
I recently saw a tuffstuff rack assembled in a store. I've seen the bodycraft and thought both were very nice, but honestly thought the tuffstuff was better. The adjustments were very smooth, very stable rack in this category.
I was surprised, thinking it would be a POS based on their over the top silly pamphlet showing a guy squatting the wrong way wearing tennis shoes in an angled smith machine.

Thanks guys probably a good idea to start a thread on the build when the time comes. Just kinda collecting thoughts and ideas to bounce around. It will be a little while before I can get it going. Yeah metal is not cheap by any means lol. Makes it a little easier that I buy most stuff in bulk which helps prices some. I own a metal fab shop that we do custom performance parts and suspensions for diesel trucks so I have the CNC equipment, horizontal saws, jig tables and all the tools. So maybe when we get the project we are prototyping now done I will get time to play with the rack.
Hi. I wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. I really learned a lot of what to look for in a power rack and I am in the process of building my own home gym.
I found a power rack today I am interested in on Craigslist, but wanted to know if it is a good deal?
Unfortunately, it does not say the distance between the holes just that there are 13 holes in the rack. Was hoping if someone would know if this is equivalent to the recommended 2" distance or not?

Don't bother with that rack. For $29 more you can get the Powertec rack from Bestbuyfitness.com and that includes shipping. The Powertec rack is favorably reviewed here by many.
