Got my equipment today, took a few hours to put both pieces together. The Power Tower is solid as hell, co-worker wanted the same one, it is sold out everywhere and prices are going up. Elliptical is nice with BT for tablet and phone. Spent a total of $400, not bad at all.
510 lbs in plates and some more pieces of the base for the squat stand came today...
so did my pull up bar which I am going to mount into the ceiling joist...
thats lookin good... i thought u was kinda crazy for dropping $1800 on Rogue, but now i wish i had your foresight
mufukkas on Craigslist trying to sell a barbell + 90 lbs for $500...

What's your opinion on that tower? Is it sturdy enough that you don't have worry about tipping it? And does it wobble? I'm seriously thinking about ordering one of these. Almost pulled the trigger last week.Got my equipment today, took a few hours to put both pieces together.

I'm thinking about copping this one

Impulse buy. I copped about 10 minutes after I posted this question
Pretty solid piece, very sturdy, only thing I will say is when you put it together, any hex bolts that have recesses in the poles, don't overtighten them as the recess will round out. I was worried at 1st about tipping, did a few pullups on it, no issues and I'm 230lbs. The legs are long enough to ensure it won't fall forward or backward on you. I have it on carpet so there is some movement, not enough to worry. It is light enough to move around once assembled if you want put it in a spot in your room, I just pull or push it by the dip bars. For me I just slide my couch over and move it behind it when I'm not using it. Side to side it can be knocked over, but there is no exercise I can see you doing from the sides.

I would cop that ASAP before it go out of stock
If you worried, buy like 50 lb bag of sand from Home Depot for like $8 and use it as a counter weight

right around the ACC
One dude called and said he’s selling a pair of 35 lbs dumbbells for 220
I’ll stick with my total body workouts
this is stupid
we might as well wait out the big rush and let the demand flatten and with more supply prices will correct

Got my pull up bar installed...
Just waiting on the plate tree for storage and that will do it for me for now until they restock the rowers...
