Power Rack Suggestions

Brahs,

Been trying to find a pull down machine that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but isn't Chinese junk. Settled on a power rack/ Pull down combo, how do these look? Any recommendations? Not quite yet on dat dere Ceo 10k/day status

I have one similar to the second one you posted by Bells of steel. Really good bang for the buck and holding up well. No complaints

Titan fitness is the only "budget" one I would trust

The Everyday Fitness one you posted would probably be fine.

I have an Archon power cage with the pulldown and crossover attachments, it's solid and smooth when it's all put together. Probably made in the same chinese factory as that yellow one.

Edit: The pegs on the one you posted are completely parallel where you load the weight, mine angle up a little bit. You may have a harder time fitting a 45lb plate on there, diameter wise. Not sure. Check out Archon see if they have anything in stock. I think they just ended a sale unfortunately lol.

drvillain PM's mods to do his bidding - CONFIRMED.

Have you used those cable machines that attach to power racks?

Thinking about ordering one
