New lifting setup

Took longer than I intended to get the basement of my new house setup for lifting. Me my GF and my roommate are gonna start lifting monday(probably not all three together). Should be dope!

Any idea what I could sell my old rack for?


new setup:



includes:
really nice belt (can't remember brand. But it wasn't cheap. It's one of the serious ones)
45lb olympic bar
265lb of regular plates
5lb of microplates (pictured on one of the dumbells atm)
2x 16lb adjustable dumbells (could probably buy more plates for these to make them heavier)
1 harbinger barbell pad (I prefer it if I'm actually doing back squats, which is pretty rare these days)
1 set harbinger gloves with wrist straps. Got these when I sprained my wrist, still use them every now and then if it gets sore.

bench, rack (800lb limit), and foam pads for deadlifting/dropping weights and not shattering the concrete

old setup:
How much do you think this is worth? (wood only. No barbell/weights/dumbells included)
additional pieces shown in next picture



old setup disassembled:
The two U/double T looking pieces in front are supposed to hold the bar while deadlifting. Replaced by foam pads in first picture.

Kinda expected this response. Don't backsquat much anyway and its soooo much more comfortable with it.


Honestly I don't even squat much in general. My legs are already big enough that pants are inconvenient, I don't really see much value in them getting much bigger.

any idea what the wood one would be worth? I forgot to mention I added a slot for a pull up bar. That's what the metal rob is for

Looks good OP! No idea about what you can sell the wooden set for.
