Any ausbros here that can suggest a good half rack for a home gym that isn't expensive as fuck? I was considering a full rack but I don't want to keep taking the bar out of the rack every time I want to do OHP.
I don't want to cheap out on a half rack since it probably needs to be more well built in comparison to a full rack but I don't want to spend almost double the cost of a full rack after shipping for something like pic related.

Just get squat stands, can get decent ones for $100 AUD and they are sturdy as fuck. No safety tho but just don't drop it faggot.
Or you could get the half rack from Gym Direct, that's what I was gonna do but I found a used full rack with cables for $150 so was cheering. Use gumtree, where are you located?
ausfeg here that's my literal rack
i highly recommend it a+

you obviously can't use gumtree you dickhead. Any rack will do ffs.
There's something wrong with this picture...

>can I get the product assembled to photograph it?
nah just photoshop it all together it'll be fine
>>37441731
looks like the price went up from when i bought it
one day i want to build a home gym
would get a full power cage
definitely would not get 2 squat stands
have used a friends home gym which consisted of those.
Shaky as fuck with anything more than 100kg
That thing looks overpriced as fuck.
It's crossfit related so no surprise here.

Eh, it's a solid half rack. Not made in China. Heavy duty bolts and steel. Shit is very solid structure.
My old rack would be shaking and flimsy with this weight on, shit doesn't budge here.

Are you actually an aussie?

Is there any reason I should do that?
If you can give me a good reason I'm all ears. Ive had it this way for a year so far, no problems.
2nd hand gum tree equipment bro.

>>37442507
Rogue equipment is priced really high, but it's great quality.
You could of course buy a cheaper shitty squat rack, but it may collapse or worse.

Def get a full squat rack, especially if you are paying anywhere near 1000$ anyway. My r3 from rogue is quality shit, safety is important when lifting hundreds of poons
