As most of you guys know, I waited for 2 years before I got a rack for PTC.

I never, ever compromise with equipment. I have also never had to buy anything twice.

Make room for the big rack I have, in 10 years time, you'll be glad you did.

I'm currently trying to create room to fit a second one in. You sound like a true lifter, take it from me, its the best rack around. The fact it has a weight tree built in saves another couple of hundred dollars.

Laugh at Rob with bearing cables etc. Real gym equipment doesnt have cables and bearings.

Oliver sounds like a regular PTC lifter (except for the belt). I'm not sure he's looking for a decline pec dec, though I could be wrong lol

Get the best rack you can get and enjoy it forever. Buy a lesser one and be prepared to replace it.

I keep harping on about this to guys on another website. Two guys bought cheap bars. One bent and the other snapped. Buy it once.

We have done partials with 390kg at PTC, no issues at all, no bent bars, no dramas at all.

Thanks for the kind words, you know exactly what I'm on about here, but I may have something that can top your rack...

I've just arranged to get an old locally welded rack from a bloke in Sydney - he's left it outside and its rusty but I had a mate who's a metal worker inspect it and he gave it the all clear.

I'll be drilling some more holes, sanding and painting it black and will have some photos up for you all when I'm done.

The money I've saved on the rack I'm going to put towards an ABC powerlifting bar and wait for a gym auction to come up for a heavy duty bench and weights storage rack. Whether I build a platform will depend on whether I keep going with rubber coated plates and the stability of the rack.

Thanks for everyone's input.
