If you care about your safety, you might want getting a full rack instead. Especially if you plan doing squats and/or you don’t have someone to spot you.
Agree getting a full rack. Safety but also many more options for the same space.
Look at something like the ironmaster IM2000. Lots more versatility in the same footprint, including that safety component. Add the pullup and landmine accessory down the road
Not great, but not terrible. But I wouldn’t get it without safeties - its not that its a half rack. I have a half rack with safeties and I’ve been using it for years
Quick edit just to say, you gotta start somewhere. Don’t spend too much initially until you figure out what you really want/need. Not great spending thousands for it just to sit there unused.
I agree with the others, I would go for a full rack over a half rack to provide better safety for squats and bench. Technically, you could shrug off a failed squat, but I wouldn’t want to do that in my house unless I set up a very solid platform under my rack (a very good plywood + stall mat build and if you’re doing this in your house, new stall mats reek for a long, long time). Similarly, if you don’t use collars, you can dump the plates on a failed bench, but I’d rather not do that to my floors without solid protection.
Used is definitely the way to save money, but you could get a similar setup from Titan Fitness or maybe Rep Fitness for about $1k new. Skip the 15lb plates, but get some 5lb, 2.5lb and change plates. I like microgainz.com for change plates, but I’m in the US and don’t know how shipping to Canada compares.
