Thanks for the feedback. I don't have PM but can ask here.
What did you do first, measure garage?
What do you think of the kipping bar? Did you find you had more room with it?
Are the mats horse mats?
What do you think of the rubber bumper plates you have?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you have to measure the height. You will need 9' ceilings.
I love the kipping bar, but they didn't have the multi grip bar when I purchased. I can't see it being worth the extra 100 bucks, but that's a personal choice. I just use mine for pull-ups and it works well.
Yes. Those are stall mats from Tractor Supply. They are $42 bucks each and are 4'x6'x3/4" I have 8 and they take up half my garage. Perfect for my needs.
I would have prefered to get steel plates but that was all that they had. They have been great though. My 17 year old tends to drop the weights on every clean & jerk so it's worked out.
Ragoo is right - load distribution for the rack. It's solid. There's a YouTube video of a guy that drops a 500lbs loaded bar off of the J-hooks onto the Spotter Arms and it holds up well even without using the 2"x6" boards.. It's easy to find.
I have purchased the landmine that attaches to the rack. It's been pretty nice. I bought the rack about 2-3 years ago. I added everything else over the past year. I purchased the Profile over the Pro and it's been perfect. I would probably buy a power rack if I had it to do over since I don't ever lift the rack up any longer. However, It's there and I can lift it up if I need the room.
