I want to know if it is ever coming back too because I would like to purchase one in the near future here.

Nancy and Toni (Toni, I hope that's your name - I looked on other posts to find it - ,

I took a look at the squat stands this morning and they look great! Toni, my bar is indeed a small one. I love how compact and portable the stands look.

Nancy, thanks for all the advice and especially the height tip. I do use a bench so that's a great idea about measuring to make sure the I can rack the bar properly.

BTW, the bench I use is awesome. Out of all of my workout equipment, its one of my best purchases. It is the "Cap Barbell Fitness FID Bench". It was under $50 (and still is)! I've had it for a year and it's holding up just fine and it's very comfortable.

Back to the squat stands. This might be a silly question but do you actually use your barbell bar as the pull-up bar on the stands?

Does anybody remember what meso/disk it is that we'll be doing heavy squats and heavy barbell bench presses? I guess technically I don't really need the stands until then, right? And maybe by then we'll learn more about the Turbo Tower.

Like Nancy, I also have the Valor squat stands. Here is a picture of my set up. They work great for both bench press and squats. I don't use mine for pull ups as I have a separate pull up bar.

Wow Judi, thanks for sharing this picture! This helps SO much! I think those will work perfectly - and they don't look that huge.

Love your setup too - it's fantastic - so motivating!

Did I see that there was a thread somewhere in which everybody posted pictures of their setup? Or was I dreaming that?

Thanks again!

Maybe they're not showing up since I was linking them to a private album. I'll try it another way.

Bummer Nancy, I still can't see them.

There is blank space when I view the post here on the forum. In my email alert I do see that you posted three pictures but when I click on their links I get a blank page. Weird.

Thanks for trying though!
