;D the earliest isometric power rack[york barbell] is for sale on oldtime strongman.com for 1000 washingtons.

My gym owner is a good man, but he prob doesn't know what a power rack is...
-
good power rack is the foundation of a solid home gym

Maybe a museum will buy it.

Those old Iso racks and York racks in general are pretty easy to find. I've seen them go $100 - 300 on average here on the east coast.
The story I've always heard is that York got stuck with a ton of the old Iso's once folks figured out it was Dianabol and not Bob's Isometrics that was causing the huge jumps in strength. Apparently, well into the 80's, they had piles of them in the warehouse.
Neat racks though.

Agree with BB....100%. Iso's, and the push-pull thing with a somewhat workable theory, wasn't the answer....it was Dr. Feelgood, aka: Ziegler.
The old IronMan magazine (Perry Rader) put out a similar iso rack. With many articles devoted to rack push-pulls in his magazine.
Can't believe how narrow that rack looks and holes about every 3", or so....judging by the picture anyway.
