I know a lot of you guys don’t like gyms for a multitude of reasons but I find it hard to get amped working out at home. I pretty much pump myself up all day thinking about the gym so when I finally get there I literally run to the weights. When I had equipment at my house it was kina like working at a gym all day. The last thing you want to do is be there any longer working out. Same thing with home gyms, after walking by it and seeing it all day the magic kind of wears off. Am I the only one?

I assume you’re saying that nobody around you knows what a power rack is and that’s why you’re telling us about it, right? Well lemme tell you something: it’s still bragging! :-p
Happy Birthday. And may you squat strong and low for many years to come.

congrats your wife sounds great.
can you post a picture?
Is she into swinging? [/quote]
Yep, I like her. Here is her back pic from the Big Arms Challenge - she lifts with me too! She has directly advised me NOT to post her face on the net.
She did like swings when she was in grade school, but she has given that up for something else now. Sorry, dude.

I’m curious how the lat attachment feels also. I have been looking at this rack for awhile and contemplating buying it. Let us know you like it…[/quote]
The rack is SO heavy. I thing every bolt insertion has double reinforcement plates. It is SOLID.The product specifications on the WEB say the whole machine is about 400# total.
The Lat attachment is very heavy, but the best built I have ever seen. The backside has 2 rails instead of one. I think they are near 1" and solid. The action is very smooth. Also, the cable is about twice as thick as my old IMPEX or WEIDER.
I may not have much point of comparison, but I would highly recomend it to anyone who is looking.
Nice!! I bought a Parabody power rack when I got out of the Marines. It’s not quite as cutting edge as yours, but that was thirteen years ago. It has easily been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. If you use it, it will pay for itself 100x over.
