    Thank you for all the responses! I guess my assumptions about tallness were wrong... I am glad my preference for small racks is not incompatible with my husband's excessive height!

    Really a shame such a thing doesn’t exist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The 43" extra deep rack will allow two people to train at the same time. Not an issue for some but for a couple this might be worth having.

    Rip just plugged the SS rack by Texas Power Systems, that is worth a look also. It will serve all your training needs. No matter what rack you get, by all means buy the SS bench. I did and will never use another bench.
    What about the SS bench makes it so great in your opinion?

    Good to know, but I am so not sharing a rack with anyone, haha! My workout, my rack https://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/cool.gif

    We schedule out workouts on separate days. Mine take about 2 hours to complete since I use up to five sets of triples on most movements (except for the press, amazingly). His workouts are quite long too because he has yet to stop adding mirror-muscle high-rep silly bullshit to the program. I refrain from giving him a hard time about it; what he does now is still a huge improvement from what he was doing before.

    I trust that he will eventually come to his senses. Proportionally to our respective bodyweights, my lifts are higher than his (except for the bench), and I know this bothers him already. All I have to do to convince him that the program works as it is to keep improving my numbers.
