Sorry, I have not been around much, but here is my 2 cents.

I have the elitefts 3x3 "classic" rack (as they now call it). I think the main difference between this "classic" rack and the...

Great review SK. That is all helpful info on this bar. I am waiting for mine right now. The 12 week delay sucks but understandable since Chris D is a small company. Btw, he is in Oregon and not...

I have a 7.5' rack and I'm slightly shy of 5'7"😜
I use my bench or the pipe safeties to reach my monkey bar pull up bar, esp,if I use a dip belt or weight vest. I also have a ploy box but don't...

I would agree with the suggestions from morebarbell and urban lifter. not knowing truly how significant your medical issues are (in terms of how often and prone you are to fainting), it can be...

Congrats. Enjoy the new toys. Did you get a weight tree or do you already have one?

Btw, i got my wife into lifting and she does the squats, lunges, sldl and starting some ghr as well. Machines like leg extensions R nice to hav but not necessary and not worth the price if u r paying...

OP, attyguy has pretty much given the best most comprehensive advice, would heed them well.
Some additional advice:
Fitness factory will offer better deals if you call them as others suggested....

Everyone has their own opinion of if or when to use a belt and I don't think there is a "one way is best per se" (so no really right or wrong). Just remember that the belt is just another training...

Thanks. Just added info you guys started above. So repped you as well.

OP as the others mentioned, the shoes and belt are something you may want eventually, can wait.

Whether you want flat or a heeled shoe is preference. The heel can help with depth, esp going ATG...

Great to hear. That was my experience too. I think they are trying to get better with customer service.

I believe these are olympic lifting type shoes, so they will have a heel on them. you mentioned barefeet, so I assume you lift w/o using a heeled shoe before (if you have, disregard). a heeled shoe...

I have the collegiate bench you got. using it for flat benching or incline work, I have not noticed any wobble, at least no wobble that affects my lifts per se.

I will say that with the bench...

The Texas power bar is a favorite of most. The rogue Ohio power bar was just reviewed by another member with very favorable reviews. It would be closer to your budget, but it would be 29 mm thick vs...

Great review and nice bar. Enjoy the bar. Repped!

While it may be legal I think for the IPF competitions, a 29 mm bar is used (esp for worlds, national or international ones). I believe that is why eleiko and ivanko competition power bars are all...

Totally understandable. The welded sides does make it sturdy, but is a b@t$h to move. Good luck on your house offer and enjoy your new bench. You will not regret it. It will be a little easier to...

Why don't u consider the 3x3 BYO rack from elitefts and pick the accessories you want and add on later. It is similar, but little cheaper and may be more affordable. I got one since I wanted my rack...

I'm glad my review helped some. As my pic's and measures on the collegiate bench, the gap is 1" for the hinge on the bench which is not really not set very deep compared to the top part of the bench...

I have the collegiate bench w/o spotter steps and agree w Keetman, I love the bench. Well worth it. Unless they HAV changed things, I wonder if the 0-90 bench pic is wrong. I got my bench earlier...
