Power Rack Buying Guide
Before buying one, check if you have enough space to install it in your room/house /garage, especially the height of the ceiling, it should be always higher than the power rack. Make sure you have enough space above the power rack for your head when you do chin-ups/ pull-ups. Also, don’t forget the space for additional equipment such as weights, plates, bars and a bench as well.You already know that “ you get what you pay for” so always check carefully about the quality, dimensions, capacity, stability and features of the power rack before buying, don’t let the price misleads your choice. Shorter and narrower power racks tend to be cheaper, make sure you choose the ones that are large enough for you.
