Yea I wouldn’t say that’s worth $600

When you can get Rogue or Rep racks the same price

I mean it's prolly fine if you only want to do barbell lifts and pullups.

Personally though, my opinion is get something that can have attachments. I personally would choose the 3*3 squat stand over it.

The full rack is safer but not enough for me to give up on all future attachments

No, I get that part. What I am saying is, once gym re open, I will not touch a weight or do a pull up at home.

Ehhh don’t even bother buying that then

Do body weight workouts

Slow pace distance runs

And sprints

You can do plenty with a couple 50lbs dumbbells and a 53lb kettle bell

That’s actually not a bad price

I’m going to sell mine for around $300 and combo it with the adjustable bench for $350

They charged me tax, which I did not expect on eBay.

I'm kinda on the fence right now with everything out of stock. If I wait for everything to be in stock from Rogue or Rep then my gym will be back open. Or I could buy this fray fitness rack that is 3x3 11g steel with Westside hole pattern and 3/8" holes that could feasibly fit everyone else's attachments for $650 shipping included. Fray just doesn't have a lot of info out right now being newer to the market.

I wouldn’t build a home gym with the top shite if I’m planning on going back to my gym, but that’s just me.

I’m investing in a home gym because I don’t want to have to ever go back to the gym. And with a baby due in July it makes perfect sense to have an at home setup.

I have 3 kids and the times of classes at local CrossFit gyms do not fit my new job. Main reason I wanted an outside rig.

I'm not planning on going back to the gym if I buy a rack. I would save $86 a month by cancelling the membership. Sometimes I like to get out of the house for an hour and the gym is a good place to do that.
