    Hi,

    I'm posting hoping to get some advice and opinions of these products from the good people here. I have searched google a good bit already but getting a lot of conflicting reviews between different websites.
    I have been doing some light/beginner lifting and training for a good while now with a cheap vinyl set and bench and am now at the stage where I want to invest in an Olympic weight set with a power rack and bench. I was looking at half rack or squat stand and a tower but from reading up a bit the full rack seems to be the way to go.
    So I've been looking around online and low cost in mind I have narrowed it down to these 2:

    http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/bodymax-cf375-power-rack.php

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GYMANO-PROFESSIONAL-POWER-RACK-OLYMPIC-CAGE-MACHINE-PULL-UP-BAR-MULTI-GYM-/161033578653?pt=UK_Strength_Training&var=&hash=item257e59689d

    The latter looks the better on paper as its higher rated at 250KG vs 180KG of the bodymax, but it gets mixed reviews online. I'd like to go with the latter as I can get bench, rubber coated weight set and rack delivered for around 550euro which I dont think I can get close to anywhere else. My main concerns are if it is ok quality and if I can get dipping attachments. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of either of them.

    Thanks a lot for any advice.
