    IF - Squat Cage DIY?

    Do you have or know where to get blueprints to build a cage?

    What is the best, cheapest cage you know of, that's worth the money.

    There's a proMaxima at the F/C where my wife works that I like, but I haven't found a price for that model yet.

    You know what, I've never seriously looked into squat racks before. Although, I think when I'm done with school I may be buying my own because I'm kind of sick of going to commercial gyms. And a rack probably doesn't cost more than 6 months worth of membership.

    Anyway, sorry I was of no help on this thread But if I find anything cool I will let you know.

    I've been entertaining the idea of buying one, too. This is the cheapest one I've found: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...3A4134%3A49040

    I've been shopping them out too. It's best if you can lay your hands on a cage, smith or rack and give them a shake. I'd love to have a smith but a good one goes for around a grand.

    Looks okay. The one I posted was only $250 plus shipping, I'm going to call the number on the page and see what the specs are.

    Sorry abobo, I totally missed your post. How the hell could I have missed something at wallmart? We like to refer to it as wallace mart since we're there every other day. $138 huh? I'll have to see if they have it at the store to avoid shipping.

    Something that big would probably suck to ship ebcause of the cost, but I guess it may not be a solid unit, just a buildable one.

    ew,

    just ask them to special order it for you. they get about 847 truckloads of gear each day, so they'll just toss it on the next truckload from the regional distributor. that should save you shipping ...
