Well they are two different things that should be combined. If you only buy the first one, you won't have anywhere to put the bar down safely if you fail on a rep. If you only buy the second one, you won't have a rack to hold the bar.

Check out the Guide to Your Home Gym thread in the H&F Vault, at the bottom.

The first link is satisfactory if you have limited(low) height to put the equipment in, but it is not the best and doesnt provide much safety support.

Buy a power rack. Safer & you'll be able to use it for the bench press & overhead press too.

Looks great. Power racks are the best tool you can buy for a home gym.

yep looks good. You could ask how much weight the rack can stand, just for security purposes. You never know how strong you'll become
