I was debating between dark horse, body solid gpr andpowertec. Dh very expensive (1000 without plate storage) and didnt have a good experience with customer service and quote. I just bought a body solid gpr378 for $ 420 (395. + 25 lift gate). It is good choice, sturdy. Following Dwightdegroff post good deal. I really recommend the advice. I will keep you post it with pictures if you want guys.
By the way, I can't put the website because I don't have 50 posts but look Dwightdegroff post.

I have had the GP378 almost a year and its a good rack for the money. It fits my needs and I will not be replacing it any time soon. However I will never place it on the same level as the more expensive and much higher quality racks, that would just be foolish. To be realistic.. the GPR 378 is a nice home grade import rack at a lower price than its other imported competitors.
If you're really 6'11 I am not sure The rack will work for you. I think its only 79" tall.Last edited by donforeman; 08-23-2013 at 09:02 PM.

Is been stated over and over here for over 10 months that body solid is smoking dope on their listed measurements. When I bought my rack I was slightly disappointed to find the shorter spec but it works OK at my height, but at 6 11 I think you will not like a 79" rack. Call Matt and make sure of what your getting, they could have revised the rack as they have made several changes.

Ouch, shrinkage.
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?
