Weight rack

stage01

Looking to buy some form of squat rack for home. Have a bench at the minute but the bars dont extend up which is a pain for military press and incline bench.

Any recommendations on something i can use around my current bench, basically need it for squats, incline bench and military, possibly some thing like this:

Deadly Combination

here is a wide section of stands / racks http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/strength-equipment/squat-racks-and-stands

You would be better off paying a little bit extra for a POWER CAGE plus its alot safer http://www.irish-lifting.com/gym-equipment-power-racks-c-1_11.html

If youre not in too much of a panic Id say take your time and see what pops up on donedeal, buyandsell etc.
You could get something like a power rack for less money. It would leave you with a much bigger rage of exercises that you would have the option of doing. rack pulls, dead bench etc or if you wanted to test your 1rm max on your own

thanks for the replies.

I wouldnt mind a larger rack/cage but I have space issues in the room it will be used. A cage is definitely a no go.

What do you think about this one?

Seems it could cover the exercises I was looking for, providing it fits nicely with my bench, looks like it would.

This one looks a bit sturdier + allow for more exercises. Anyone have one of these? They take up alot of room?
