I'm looking to buy a power cage in the near future. Was wondering if anyone could make some suggestions or comments. I'm willing to spend around $400-$500.

I may have to buy it online but most of them weight 200lbs+ and shipping will be killer. Does anyone know of a national chain store that would sell these so i could maybe just pick it up a store? I checked ****'s Sporting Goods and they dont carry them. Or maybe a place that doesnt charge shipping.

Also, is it possible to find a decent F/I/D bench for around $100. Everywhere i look they are $200 or more.

The powertec:



I've not seen any good ones for under $200. Mine cost $299, but I won't ever need another.

However, the cage I posted is $398 w/ shipping, so that's > $100 less than you're willing, so divert that savings over to the bench. Keep looking around, you might find it cheaper elsewhere.

Other options: look at craigslist and a local "Play it Again Sports" or other reseller. Also, e-bay and the classifieds. You live in a sizable city so I'm sure you'll find something at one of these venues.

cool. Now does the powertec come with the spotter bars and dip bars? I know some places sell them seperately

nm, missed the details on that page. Thats probably the one ill get. But we do have a play it again sports nearby. I'll check that out first.
