Optional Attachments
Some photos above may show optional attachments, including the lat and dip. All benches, bars, and weights sold seperately.
This power rack is absolutely amazing for the price. The build is secure, the size is more than adequate, and best of all it's easy to adjust with the many settings it allows. I'm a 6ft 4 260lb D1 athlete and this rack fulfills all my needs. However I will mention that the instructions are hard to figure out (there are 4 different types of screws so make sure you figure out which lengths go where), and the knurling on the pull-up bar is a little light (some people like it this way). But these things cannot reduce the high quality of this rack at such a low price.
Note: It has a 600lb capacity so it's more than adequate for most's needs.
This is a nice rack for us non-supermen that aren't moving stacks of 45's every day. I would have no fear putting 300 to 500 pounds on it, but if I were lifting much more than that, I'd probably shop for a stronger rack (maybe one day). Anyway, since there aren't really any instructions (just an exploded drawing) I'll offer my suggestions on assembly.
The way I assembled it was to put the bottom 3 pieces together first (put the feet and plastic parts on now), then add the rear uprights, then the top back piece, then a front upright and top side piece, repeat for other side, then chin bar. Snug the bolts at first, then tighten them all when it's all assembled. Get them good and tight but don't over tighten because the tubing will start to bend in with a lot of force. You'll need two 3/4" wrenches (a socket wrench and spanner work best). This worked well for me doing it by myself and took about 45 minutes including opening the boxes and laying out the parts.
This rack comes in 3 boxes and can be shipped via a regular carrier. This might be nice to know for those who don't live where a freight carrier can easily get to you. Anyway, this rack, a bench, and a 300 pound set can take you a long way. Add some dumbbells and you'll have a nice little home gym.

For the price, I don't think you can beat this rack. I lift in my basement which has pretty low ceilings. The rack fits perfectly. It feels very sturdy and can be upgraded with a lat/row tower. My only complaint is the same as the others: the painted liftoffs and support rails. Otherwise this one of the best purchases I have ever made.
This is a sturdy rack, easy to assemble. No parts missing! My only minor complaint was that if you assmble as directed, you will insert some bolts without washers. Now, MAYBE you don't NEED the "extra" washers, but I have found that washers protect surfaces. Not just for looks, but for integrity of the product, I went and bought 20 additional washers (.20 a piece at the hardware store) and I am certain that this was a smart move, plus the rack just looks more uniform with washers beneath each bolt. All the parts fit --but there was a distressing moment when it appeared the back cross section was NOT GOING TO FIT! YIKES! But I quickly determined that this was part of the structural design because one assembled the "offset" draws the rack into a tight, sturdy unit. This unit allows HEAVIER than normal lifts to be done SAFELY. Want to determine your MAX lift on Bench Press, Squat, or other exercise but have no spotter? This baby will spot you and spot you well! Also, you can do "partials" by setting the safety pins at different positions. Heavier weights means more strength, power and muscle! YEAH!! Great product for beginners or pros. I didn't get the Lat attachment but I will add that soon.
The cage came in three well pack boxes. It was very easy to put together took about and hour or less. It is an awesome addition to my gym. No more spotters needed for many excerises. I am very satisfied with it and would recommend it as a must for any gym.
I’ve seen an older version of this rack with 1000+ pounds on the bar for Squats and DL lockouts. This rack is tougher than you might think.
The good: - Heavy and very sturdy, no worries about it holding lots of weight - Well built, welds are good, paint is good looking - Lots of available accessories, includes a chin up bar - Price is awesome! - Nice quality pins to hold bar support and safety bars. The bad: - The safety bars are painted, which means that every time your bar hits it or you adjust them, you lose paint. They include touch-up paint, but that's a losing battle. Chromed safety bars would have been MUCH better. Rubber grommets, at the very least, would have been nice. - NO INSTRUCTIONS and NO TOOLS PROVIDED. You will need a tool set, preferably with a good socket set, and an extra pair of hands helps a lot. - It's about half the depth of most cages I've used. Not as big a deal as it seems at first, actually good in some ways, but worth mentioning. - The holes in the cage are NOT marked in any way, which makes lining up the safety bars a pain sometimes. Tape and a sharpy or a good label maker are needed to fix that. - Because it's a little less deep than normal, forcefully placing a loaded bar on the holders can shake and move the rack a bit if it is not bolted down or somehow counter-weighted (like with a rack-mounted plate holder). - Shipped by a trucking company, and was a day late (par for the course with freight companies in my experience) Overall, it's still the best rack I've seen at this price.
It’s a high quality rack and the core part of my home gym. Would recommend to anyone wanting to train at home.
I was looking for a weight rack to start my home gym. I had the plates and barbells but needed a rack to go with it. For the money this is a great rack. It's sturdy and gets the job done. I can bench (incline and normal), powerclean and squat in this rack very easily. I think this is a great rack for the money since racks that are similar to this and considered better quality can cost you $1,000 - $1,500. Definitely recommend.
Needed a powerack...sorry, WANTED a powerack did some searching everywhere and I mean everywhere. Nothing negative about it and it is exactly what I wanted, easy to assemble with two people. But I could see a challenge building it yourself!
