    Default Advice on a Power Rack for the Work Gym, Please

    After a year of cajoling, I got 50% of what I want. We have to keep the Smith machine, as some people prefer it but we can get a squat rack. Because the gym is small, and because we're keeping the Smith, I am looking for suggestions for a safety rack/cage with a reasonable price and the smallest possible footprint. This is a work gym, so there is no need for a capacity greater than 500 - 600 pounds (rack pulls, maybe).

    Any suggestions would be great. Please and Thank you.

    I love my Rogue R3. I have the shorty version due to low ceiling in my basement.

    Titan produces an acceptable product at a great price. They are basically Rogue w/o the high quality fit and finish. But they are also about half the cost of Rogue. Just depends on what you want to spend.

    Just checked, the Titan T3 HD is currently listed at $419 with free shipping and is everything you could ask for from a power rack. Check it out.

    I hope nobody at your office is bench pressing in the smith machine.

    You should post Matt Reynolds article on Bench Press safety on the wall.

    They are. I have said my peace but I won't preach. People can do more weight on the smith so it's an ego boost.
