Half Rack help- Legend vs Dynamic

[piratelifebad]

I'd go Dynamic all day based on the pics others have posted about recent Legend purchases. Even if the price was say 20%-30% higher.

My Dynamic rack was shipped in the best packaging I've ever seen and the fit and finish was a few tiny marks away from perfect.

Long time lurker here going through same I guess. sorry if I'm hijacking thread just figure rather leave this here than make whole new thread.
I just got quote from legend now waiting on dynamic.
For years I was sold on legend and just waited to make my order after purchasing house.
After seeing legend pictures lately here Im kinda leaning more towards Dynamic just waiting on that quote.
my problem is ceiling in garage is only 92 inches.
Im probably gonna remove ceiling sheetrock and hopefully I get few more inches between celling joists.
So wanted to know did you make your decision BigSteve7856 and if not what are you leaning more towards.
Also wanna thank all you guys that post here really helped me making purchasing decisions in past and I learned a lot about workout equipment.

Which Dynamic rack did you go with?

I still haven't decided yet. I'm now Considering the new Powerlift 3x3 half rack (pic attached). I've had my eye on one of their combo pulley machines for awhile, and was going to try and negotiate a discount for ordering both. Would be super expensive though.

Did you get quotes for both?
I'm asking because I did and Legend knocks a large % discount off the listed prices you see online. Legend was a good amount cheaper than Dynamic.

If prices are the same, Dynamic all day and night. If Dynamic is slightly more expensive, same. If Legend is significantly cheaper (which was the case I found), it's a tough call.

I just saw this. Why do you like the dynamic so much more? Identical 3x3 11 gauge construction, 1 inch holes, similar line of accessories, and the price is almost identical.

Seems like like they are more similar than different, just curious why you think Dynamic stands out.

I ended up ordering the Powerlift 3x3 half rack. I’ll post pictures when I get it if anyone is interested.

Awesome, congrats. Please provide the pictures and give a review once you get the chance.

I priced out Dynamic, Powerlift, and Legend (never got a quote from them, it was painful), back in the spring when I was first looking (still haven't bought a rack). I showed the least interest in Powerlift, and their salesman was by FAR the best at follow-up, piquing my interest more than it otherwise was. I know that the 3x3 is a new product line for Powerlift, so you could be the first review out there on it for others to see.

Nice! Please do post pics and let us know what you think of the rack after you've used it.

I priced out those three as well and had a pretty good experience with all of them. I actually feel bad I didn’t buy from Dynamic as I asked them a million questions about their rack lines and options and the sales guy was really helpful.

From talking to the Powerlift salesman you can tell they prefer the drop in style uprights, but I think they recognize they are missing part of the market by not offering a hole in style. If you look at their pictures online you can see the hole in racks popping up in some of their recent commercial installs.

Love Powerlift racks. If timing of my move a few years ago had been different I'd have picked up a killer half rack and platform myself. Though I can't complain about what I have at all but would have been my preferred option. Used a lot of their pieces and while I may not love all of them, they are quality and thoughtful design.

Totally professional company from what I've seen and used to dealing with institutions/teams so higher end customer service staff.

Definitely post it up for everyone. Worthy of it's own thread and LOTS of pics.
