- Occasional aspiration to olytarding, so bumpers
- Have more money than time (douchebrag I guess but the point is I don't need recommendations for hunting on craigslist)
I like the power rack for pullups and having somewhere to tie bands to for mobility stuff. Don't like it for large footprint in the garage compared to lifting platform with squat stands at one end. Could just put a stripper pole in and then not do pullups imo.
Who to buy from? Rogue? I'm not doing Crossfit but have had reasonably good luck buying random **** from them like Do-Wins, rumble roller, etc.
Yep, if money was no problem, I would just go to the rouge site and order one of everything.
That said, I have no first hand experience with their gear, but it looks nice and is expensive, so it must be good.
But yeah, I would start with a power rack (with the pullup and dip attachments), a flat bench, a decent bar and a few hundred lbs of weight. If you want to olytard, include 4x45 bumpers in your few hundred lbs of weight.
