Rae Crowther Pro Gold Power Rack - finished

[Nebamartinez]

Here is my finished power rack minus the storage pins:







I think after 12 weeks went by I lost enthusiasm; but after seeing it completed I'm excited once again to finally get this rack.

Now you just need to wait 2-6 weeks for freight delivery

[RDOG21]

that looks awesome!! your definitely gonna enjoy that!!

[C123C]

So awesome. I think it's natural to get excited for ordering it, when that wears off you wait, but now...this is the time! You are really going to have fun getting this delivered, setup, and have a chance to train on it. Plus this is the centerpiece of the gym so having one like this is great.

Honestly, even after a year I still enjoy going downstairs (in my case) just to look at my weights. Never had my own setup before and it's like I brought all those years of passion and effort right into my own home. Like a movie fan never owning a TV and all of a sudden you have a full dedicated home theater setup.

Good choice on the colors! :-)

[SomeIronBoy]

Awesome rack! I agree with 1651Naismith very good choice in colors. I hope that rack paid off for your 12 week wait, for me they would've. Are the extra pullup bars mean't to be attached or are they extra of where the 2 red crossmembers are?

I can't wait to have this piece to train on and I know what you mean when you take pride in owning your own equipment... I like to hang out in the cave from time-to-time just for the hell of it LOL... I'm certain I'll be doing that much more with this rack as the center of attention

[Nebamartinez]

Good choice on the colors! :-)

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to have a visual representation of the color combo you picked... It looks fantastic!!!

Thanks man!

The two straight pullup bars can be mounted anywhere between the black side crossmembers... I will probably mount them in the 42" section of the rack. The red K-braces are meant (I believe) to keep the rack from swaying or from having any lateral movement so they have to remain in place on the rack...

Thanks man!

[RandyMcdonald]

Beautiful piece of machinery. You will get many years of quality training with that rack. Looking forward to pics of it set up at your house!

[Synthetickiller]

Awesome.
Any special add ons we're not seeing in the picture?

[morebarbell]

Nice! Congrats!

If you're shopping for upgrades already, I'd get one or two sets of Mech monolifts to go with it.

I have slightly less weird now. Thanks.

I'd second the monolift attachments. Best thing I ever did for my squat. I don't use them for bench (heavy/awkward to move and I don't get that much of out of them.

I already have a Rogue Monster Monolift but really like Mech6's monolift... Thinking of picking up a set of those too

[Nebamartinez]

Awesome.

RC notified me that rack shipped with a shipping wt of 1116 lbs and the ETA is Tuesday which of course I'll be working and won't have time to pick it up until Friday because I believe the UPS terminal only has a small window of time allotted for pickups

I'm off on Tuesday and home all day. If it would help you out, - you can have the delivery diverted to my house. I wouldn't mind a bit, anything to help.
