^ This. Also, $400 is really tough these days tbh. I was kinda disappointed with how flimsy the cheap generic racks have gotten lately. You might wanna look at:
- Fitness Reality 810XLT Super Power Cage
- BalanceFrom EveryDay Essentials Olympic Bumper Plate Weights Unfortunately, shipping costs usually kill the deal if you arent careful. The Fitness Reality rack usually gets a huge discount on Amazon around then tho. Just gotta be quick.

Price-to-weight ratio's key. 11-gauge steel is usually out of budget, so check clearance on:
- Titan Fitness T-2 Series Power Rack
- HulkFit Multi-Function Power Cage Rack Source weights used locally.

Planning early is amazing! I was so worried about my rack collapsing when I first started, but I found an amazing deal on the REP Fitness PR-1100 Home Gym Power Rack and its totally solid. Look at these:
- Rep Fitness usually has site-wide discounts around then
- Grab the CAP Barbell 300-Pound Olympic Weight Set for a solid budget option Honestly, sticking to big brands is the only way to stay safe!
