Squat rack that is :) I need some input on it if it is a descent 1 to buy. TIA!

    I'm not aware of the brand but that configuration is one of my favorites. You can do so much with that rack other than just squat. Bench Press (buy an adjustable bench), Floor Press, dead-stop lifts from the adjustable horizontal bars, squat, deadlift, OHP, rack pulls, etc. You can even curl in the rack and not get yelled at by other gym-goers. LOL! Good stuff. Just google the brand and see what the feedback looks like. If good then I'd go for it, nice setup.

    Doesn't look bad. But why not go for a full power rack?

    Looks good from what I can see but your arm is in the way so I can't tell for sure.

    If you start at the top and work down, it's a "descent: rack. If you start at the bottom and work up, it's an "ascent" rack.

    Either way it looks decent enough.

    It'll cost me just over $100 to ship it to me :( I love that it has multi-purposes and since I love doing bench presses and overhead presses, this will work awesome I thought.

    I don't have the room for a full rack/cage type thing...this allows my bench to be moved away from it easier I think. I have a small space set up as my home gym...less than 300sq F so I have to optimize the space the best I can.

    Meh. Their stuff appears to be cheap and relatively unknown which is not a good combo (couldn't find any reviews for it which is bad). I too question why you don't just get a full power rack. You mentioned space, but that squat rack isn't any smaller. In fact, it's quite big. It's got a 69" x 67" footprint. By comparison, most power racks are usually around 48x48 (more if you want plate storage).

    I'd go with a rogue half rack (R-3) which is only 30x43 if you have really limited space. You get a full power rack that has 1" hole spacing where it counts - the one you posted does not. Hole spacing is important especially for bench, so you can fine tune where the safety bars are placed. 2" is too much, IMO.

    Granted, that all costs money for a good Rogue setup. If you wanted a cheap power rack you can get them for under $400 shipped via Amazon (like Powerline). They don't have the 1" hole spacing but at least it's a full rack and it's compact and cheap.

    R-3 does have to be bolted to the ground.

    Even though I knew this wasn't going to be about boobs...a small part of me was hoping...

    Yes, but I would want to bolt any rack to the ground, personally.
