    Amazon.com : Cap Barbell Deluxe Power Cage : Sports & Outdoors
    Or would I be better off getting the Titan power cage.

    Steel construction comprised of 12 and 14 steel gauge thickness
    Maximum weight recommendations: 300-pound on bar catches, 300-pound user capacity on the upper workout bar
    Sounds...not very sturdy.

    Ya, "Maximum weight recommendations: 300-pound on bar catches, 300-pound user capacity on the upper workout bar" = death trap.

    Save up another $200 and get the Titan HD (not the cheaper Titan).

    Who cares about the rubber on the safeties when loading up for a mediocre squat would turn the thing into something resembling a crumpled ball of used tinfoil?

    Yeah, looks like 4" (?) hole spacing too. Garbage.

    Someone told the factory, "Make me a thing that looks like a barbell half-rack, but for half the manufacturing cost and weighing half as much for reduced shipping costs. Assume it won't be used more than 2-3 times and only with very light weights."

    This is the Planet Fitness of racks.

    Thanks,
    Thought I'd be able to save some room I. The garage and some money in the wallet. Power cage it is.

    Thanks again,
