Any input at all would be welcomed.

Thanks

	I just saw some at Dicks that look pretty nice for the money. Don’t remember the price, but think they were in the 500 range. I think most good racks are about the same. Some have better and stronger accessories. Most good rack are 1000.00 and up.

	For about $200 dollars more you could get a really good rack with a really good track record. Louie sells a 3 x 3 power rack on Westside Barbell's site for about $700. It has everything you need including smaller hole increments through the bench area and pins for bands. Also has a regular and a fat bar pull up handle. I bought it and couldn't be happier. It's the least expensive quality rack that I was able to find. So far (that was 2 years ago) I haven't seen any better deals. Cheaper ones are out there but you get what you pay for.

	craigslist. bought my rack for $100 off of a local high school, have had it for over 2 years and no problems whatsoever. Put 2x4s under the legs to lift it a little so I can use bands. Solid.

	Kyle, I didn't think about you being in Canada. You've got a tough situation. It's suck for shipping no matter where you go. Does Cananda have any good places?
