Amazing deal on power rack

[Andrew D]

Man I don't need to waste any more money but I was going to buy that exact rack anyways. I'm going Tuesday.

I'm picking mine up this week as well, rubber flooring and sledge hammer from Lowes/Home Depot, bench from Sears, and then I'm gonna shop around a while for enough weights so I can buy a Jesup bar separate.

Good idea. Jesup bar + used weights on Craigslist and you're set for life.

Call ahead, I just rode over there and mine didn't have it. BTW, finding a good set of oly weights on craigslist is harder than some people think.

I've had no problem procuring ~1500 lbs. at an average of $0.20/lb.

I've watched the Richmond Craigslist and Savannah craigslist and RARRRRELLLY see olympic weights. If I do they're so junky or overpriced that they're not worth it.

Even then it'll be someone who wants like $.60/lb.

There is a guy selling 25# for 5$, 35# for 10$, and 45# for 15$ that I'm gonna call tomorrow in my area and he states that they are in "good" quality. Hopefully they are pretty good and there is an abundant amount. I can get some 10s and 5s and 2.5s from where ever.

Also, I had a question on a bar from Jesup. They have two bars I am interested in, the 145$ delivered and the 165$ delivered. How much better is the more expensive one and is it worth it to get that?

Also, I assume if I got a bar from there the total shipped to my house (L.A.) would be 165 shipping already included?

after rechecking craigslist the post that i was referring to has been removed.

What type of lifting do you want it for (primarily)? If it's for squats, deads, BP, etc., get the $165 bar. If you're going to be concetrating on oly lifts, get the $145 bar.

Sounds like I'm getting the more expensive one then, now to hopefully find some weights for cheap.
