LOL I must like this post!

After a hard workout, nothing beats checking out those gains.

Returning to the rack selection topic, do note that the chrome part which the pull down weights travel on rust easily. In that event, the weight will be stuck when you try to do a row or pull down.

Not sure how to check the quality of the chrome plating, but see if the sales person offer warranty. While I did try to take care of my chrome plating from rusting, my efforts were not successful. Consequently, it rusted in a timeframe of 1 year. Might be a deal breaker for u

i would not worry about it that much on rusting machines

the one place that you MUST do maintenance is your barbell

whether you're getting a bronze collar barbell or bearing barbell, you MUST lube them often

when it rust, it will spin bad, and if enough chalk builds up or goes in ( if you ever use chalk), it will harden over time and the both end of your barbell will not spin

when this happens, when you deadlift or front squat, the weight spins supposed to bring the both end of the barbell spins but not the knurling part, however if it's rusted the whole bar will spin together

resulting in rolling out of your palm during deadlift or rolling out from your shoulder during front squat
