Does the power rack is included with the cable pulldown? What other attachment that it has?

Just the rack without any attachment... pricey

Searching for cheaper options if anyone has cheaper alternatives for a power rack do let me know.

Bro, I think RM2.9k for the power rack is rather expensive.. for the plates, are the prices per piece or per pair? and the barbell is just a generic one? anybody else interested to buy? I think if we group up and buy can ask for discount..

Hello Jason missed your post... yup the power rack is super expensive.

Its price per plate, the guys at the shop just work there, cant give more discounts.

Maybe if purchased directly from Transmark the pricing will be better. Doesn't hurt to try, saving up for the power rack and bench.

I'm planning to set up a home gym as well. My budget is around RM5k and I would like to purchase around 10 sets of dumbbells, barbells, weight plates and a bench. Unfortunately RM5k is not enough. I had asked a few sellers in KL and all of them told me the dumbbell sets alone cost around RM5k.

Don't have to buy all at one go.

Purchase fewer items to get started and add on as needs progress.

Fitness concept is having a sale right now, check out the benches on sale

The bench cost around RM1250k in Malaysia whereas in the US you could get it less than that for the same model (http://www.amazon.com/Body-Solid-Incline-Decline-GFID31/dp/B002EEOOA2/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1342542091&sr=1-1&keywords=body+solid+bench). I know you guys might say I can't compare US price than the price in our own country but RM400 difference for the same bench is a lot in my opinion.

If it's significantly cheaper can always order and ship from abroad nod.gif

Just for your reference, I spent around RM3900 to start my home gym. Basically got a power rack, 1 x barbell bar, 2 x dumbbell bar, 20 pieces of floor mat, a bench and 80kg of weight. I know I'll be adding more stuffs, but start small. Can do pretty whole body with these setup already imo.

Hello VoodooEx thanks sharing.

Appreciate some information on the power rack. Cost, model and where it was purchased.

I'm still searching in the market for a quality rack.
