Sub frame bracing - FIDDY TECH: Help, How-to, Parts & Mods

So I finally bent my subframe down after sitting and doing seat standers etc.

I"m like 200 lbs.

SO do I:

buy a chro-mo frame (kinda pricy ~$300)

Find some one to weld up a new subframe out of chro mo tubing or something?

Does anyone else have this problem?

You bent it down????
I weigh 205, never had that prob.
Its just aluminum. Slide something over the ends and bend it back. Or get a new frame, OEM's dont' cost much.
Or have a welding shop cut off the subframe, and weld on a thicker stronger one.
