    You broke it? How?

    The spec is 220lbs on cable,500lbs on rack and 800lbs max on the bench.

    It is a free weight power station you have to make your own weights up as there is no stack thats what i like about it.It has a year gurantee with it so I guess if I do manage to break it I,m covered.It is only £400 as well so it is reasonably priced.

    Oh I forgot I have a bench but I need to change it as I am on the maximum weight allowed and its getting a bit shakey!! It only has 50kg/110lbs on lat pull down which is pretty low and I need a new one.I have around 200kg of free weights so I,m OK there.

    Thumbs up yeah billy boy buy a cage

    I am gonna buy a cage ( power rack) you can do whatever you want into them, Squats, bench press, military press etc etc, You even have a chin bar so its great.

    I plan to buy a bench that i can incline ( to do bench press, incline and military), a type of pulldown machine, and lots of free weights.

    I am gonna hit the basic exercices hard.

    And its gonna cost about the same thing.

    Thanks in advance,

    I already have a BodySolid power rack/cage.

    I just need a good strong bench that I can really dump the weight on without it falling apart.The York bench I have now has served me well and I,ve had it 6 years and neevr had a prob with it so I may just order the York 3000

    DDF I,ll take the dimensions off mine and a drawing and I,ll post them
