What do you think of this piece of equipment?

I need a bench press rack. Would these work well? Seems like something I could easily stick out of the way as well. Anyone use them? I want to put more weight on my barbell and I can't do that while picking up the bar from the floor

yeah, don't see why not. Sure there are better equipment out there, but it's usually a question of what you can afford. Just make sure its tall enough. It looks kinda short, so to unrack it you might have to actually do half a bench press..

I agree, they do look a bit low

the link says..
"These racks are very good piece of equipment, They are ideal for pressing bench or for Shrugs, Curls, Squats, bars stands. Exercise barbell, for upper body workout. The more you use these racks the more you will like them."

I don't possibly see how those could be used for squats, but I'm sure they will get the job done for benching.

I have to agree with both Karky and Nae82, seems to be a bit on the low (short) side.

this maybe more of what you are looking for (not sure). Will cost a little more ($25 after shipping cost added). I have no idea on the quality, just did a search on ebay for a squat rack.

Hmmmm...they only adjust to 2 and a half feet of height. I think I'd spend a bit more. Do you have an academy store near you?
