One that won't go through your ceiling.

Too soon

>he doesn't put the rack through his ceiling for those drywall gains

Bought this. I like it. Works like a power rack.

>>37029899
Do not buy those Chinese made pieces of shit on titan.fitness if you value your life.

The Rogue R3 is perfect for home use.

I have the r3 and my buddy has the Chinese version and compared to my r3 it is complete shit. If you have the money get it but I started out with Squat stands until I hit 405 so if money is an issue and your not squatting 3-3.5 pl8 for reps don't even bother getting a rack.

Why don't you build one yourself? You can buy steel beams (inb4 hurrdurr jet fuel memes) and pay about 250€ in total, according to my calculations

>>37032917
i would only use this if it decapitates me when im done on the last rep of the last set

Does anybody know if it's possible to get a decent quality rack inside the EU without having to spend a goddamn fortune?

Amazingly your roof stays firmly in place above your house for 30+ fucking years... holy shit. SCIENCE!

Amazingly entire houses are built out of wood.. yet you are afraid of this.
Stay in your cement basements.

I guess you cant arch your back with that lumbar supported bench?
>>
>>37033098
i do try to arch my back but its not my strong point.on that note i used a bench at my local gym on Sunday and had nowhere near the support this provides so..
>>
>>37033124
Well, you don't need that support when you're benching.
Your legs should be your support for your back arch.
>>
>>37033213
support for my upper back

lol sounds like me, bet my garage gym gets some weird looks at 5:30 am

>>37032927
Yeah but then you have to get adjustable pegs, drill holes for them, weld etc. Most people don't have the skill or tools for the job. If you do go for it, pretty rare tho
>>
>>37032917
i built pic related and used for 8 mo before i moved.

only thing i didnt do was the wall anchors. I also added a bar rack on the outside which i didnt use all that much.

if you dont wall anchor, you will want to go through ever month or so and retighten all the bolts.

after build was complete, I dropped 2plate on it a few times just to test it. ezpz. would build again when i have space again

no and why would you pay for a house that's made of mostly wood

jesus christ I live in a third world country and most houses here are made of cement what the fuck is this shit literally only poor people who don't own the land live in shitty easy to break wooden houses that don't last long.

Rogue's racks cost lest than Elitefts, Sorinex, American Barbel, etc. especially after you figure in their modest shipping charges.

But, yeah, Craigslist can reveal some gems from time to time.
>>
>>37035333

How can such a sorry excuse for a rack cost that much. Build it yourself if you call yourself a man

This seems like a solid deal. Valor BD-7 with a lat attachment.

nope 4 bed house made of brick

if you had this you would post it also lets be honest
>>
>>37036115
I squat less than 2 plate, I do not call myself a man.

But seriously the steel for me to build one would cost more than that. Not to mention wearing out 30 hole saws trying to put all those holes for the safety catch positions.

I did consider it though. I'm a decent welder and got ahold of Rippetoes rack plans.

Also if i built one it would have been more difficult to find a lat attachment for it. Unless i built that too.

>sorry excuse for a rack
Don't make fun of my rack :(
>>
>>37035333
Your better off buying titan fitness or new York barbell than that shit!
>>
>>37033017
Except your house was designed correctly.

>Single 2x4 for a spotter pin
Holy shit that's undersized. I wouldn't go to failure in that thing any day.
