Hey bros,
I have been on my search for a home gym...I posted earlier and I am down to two choices a power rack or a smith machine.
Can you all chime in on the pros and cons of each.. I have heard not to get a smith,,,,,but i also heard not to get a power rack..
HELP !!!!:unsure:
id get the power rack. Smith machines arent bad, (i only use em for shrugs) but for the money/results youd probably be happier with a power rack in my opinion. In the end its really your choice :)
good luck

If you're consistently working out by yourself with heavy weights on incline presses and the like, I can see the benefits of a smith machine. But, that's really the only way i could justify one in my home gym.
POWER RACK!!! Smith machines limit your range of motion to a fixed plane.
They also limit your exercise selection. This shouldn't even be a debatable issue for a home gym senerio.

Hands down get a power rack!
Power rack.
bump
power rack. You're working more muscles stabilizing while using the power rack than a smith.
So far no ne says smith...Hmmmmm. Makes sense smith is all linear , no free range motion
bump
power rack......no need to keep bumping the thread
Khull has spoken.. Done !!!
Thank you Gentlemen for your responses....
Power Rack, by far.
there you go..but just in case you need one more opionion...
POWER RACK!
How are you supposed to do your curls if you don't have a power rack, just common sense... :wg:
POWER RACK no question. Look at www.palmettofitness.com look und WSP. They don't havea pic of it but they have a bad ass power rack with band holes also. Jut contact them and ask for some info on their new rack. You'll be happy got one and i love it.
why dont i know what a power rack is!?
One more for the power rack brigade - if youre serious about gettin big!
