"For those of you that do have limited vertical space and want a heavy-duty power rack, here is an option for you. The Body-Solid GPR400 Power Rack is just 79″ tall, solidly constructed, widely customizable, and will be able to take a beating for a long time."
The Body-Solid GPR400 Power Rack is a heavy-duty Power Rack designed to fit in several facilities from home gyms, garage gyms to commercial strength training facilities, sports team weight rooms and more. Constructed with 11-gauge steel frames and oversized industrial-strength hardware, the GPR400 offers superior durability and is built to withstand the intensity of heavy powerlifting and frequent group training.
With a height just under 80”, the GPR400 features a shorter height than most competitive Power Racks and will fit more comfortably in home, garage or basement gym settings. A wide walk-in design gives users increased space and comfort when using the rack for a multitude of movements including squats, lunges, rack pulls and deadlifts. Add a Body-Solid bench and open up several new workout possibilities including decline and incline press, bench press, shoulder press and more.
An integrated 1 ¼” (32mm) diameter pull-up bar adds additional functionality to the GPR400 Power Rack with the ability to perform pull-ups, chin-ups, leg lifts and oblique twists. Each GPR400 comes standard with pipe & pin safeties and J-cup liftoffs. Optional attachments and accessories including the GLA400 Lat Attachment, SPRCUA Multi-Chin, GPRDH Dip Handles, GPRTBR T-Bar Row, GPRUL U-Link and GPRWH Weight Horn allow complete customization to fit facility and user needs.

Lots of good things to say about this item. First, let's start with perceived need. I did not need the functional trainer attachment (have one already) so I was interested in the Lat/Row capabilities. Second, design. The open architecture allows for back stowage of weight horns and attachments like dip handles. All of this without obstructing your view in a mirror while you perform other rack-based exercises like Squats and Presses. Third, assembly. Simple, straightforward with minimal disassembly of the existing rack. That was a bonus because let's face it - who wants to break stuff down that they spent hours setting up, right? Fourth, Function. It operates well. It provides enough room to slide a bench into the Rack and still utilize the front uprights whilst being able to face the mirror. Now ALL my exercises face the mirror. A bonus for us vain body builders! Lastly, drawbacks. One that readily comes to mind is the absence of a leg hold down attachment for those people that perform near bodyweight pulldowns. I was able to find an attachment at TITAN that works but am surprised that Body Solid did not have one. One last item. Lack of safety straps. Pipe and Pin are wonderful 20th century devices but are CUMBERSOME, LOUD and DAMAGING (both to my bar and themselves). Mine were scratched up within a few rack-pulls. Another trip to TITAN for safety straps and problem solved! A strange omission because Body-Solid makes straps for the 1000 series rack. Overall, this is a must have attachment. I rarely leave my rack for anything now. Body-Solid does need to fill in the gaps within the attachment eco-sphere though. Preacher and Leg Extension attachments are ones that readily come to mind but such thoughts are probably more applicable to a review of the GPR400 than this particular attachment.
Tremendous Rack with opportunities to expand so plan wisely! This Rack should be the foundation of your home gym. Why? Because itis expandable to include a functional trainer, it has a variety of attachments (landmine, Dip bars, etc) and using a 3 x 3 construction platform it is capable of handling competitor attachments and is wicked sturdy. Rated at 1000 lbs, you will be handing this down to your kids and they to their kids as well! Start here and get yourself some add-ons!!
