sorinex, rogue, powerlift, elitefts, williams strength, etc

rep, blackwidow etc

getrxd, bolt, etc

titan


Is Titan bad? I was actually considering going with them over Rogue because they offer an extension kit for their free standing rack, where Rogue does not.

titan has gotten much much better and is still 1000x better than some shite you buy at wal mart etc. its still 11g steel and their welding has gotten way way better.

but they are not on the level of the others above.

the first 2 tiers are really luxury brands.

I'm in the same boat, I keep going back and forth between Rogue Monster Lite, Rep PR4000, Titan, and now Bolt.

I'll probably just go Rogue. Don't want to bolt the cage down, so I was considering the flat foot rack. Looking at it more though, I may be able to just get a regular rack and add the stabilizer feet if I need them.

you would be happy with the rogue, rep or bolt. you may be happy with the titan but chances are much lower.


and what is the deal with so many not wanting to bolt racks down? i see this all the time....why? it takes 2 seconds, you can put in female anchors so that they are flush if you are goign to move or just cut the anchors off with a angle grinder.

i dont get the whole....i dont want to bolt it down thing. I will say i didnt at my last hose and have at this one....makes a big difference even on a 6 post rack full of weights.

It's a fear of committment.

Once they are bolted, it becomes more a pain in the arse for slight adjustments.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I may go with a bolt down four post and just put it center rear of that garage bay. I’d still have room to add some other equipment later if I want.

Just got off the phone with Rogue, they will give me a even better deal than what's on the website. Should be sending me a quote soon.

Absolutely no complaints that I can think of. Maybe....maybe would have made the decision to go 3x3, but still with bolt. And that's purely for accessories that I don't absolutely need. I have a woodshop in my garage and have made any "accessories" so far. Honestly don't see me getting anything else in the near future.

I'm actually very pleased with the bar I got from them. It's only been a few months, but really good spin and good knurling. Can't ask for anything more than that for the price. And the bench that came with it has been sufficient.

Got the rack, weights (added a bit compared to standard offering), bar, kettlebells, and bench for $1600 out the door, taxes included.

How did you settle on that one? There are so many options out there, I just can't decide. I was going to go rogue because it's safe, but it's significantly more money than some other options.
