Great! - Christopher L. Alexander, Nov 01, 2009

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.

Great Product - Thomas Ivan Sr., Oct 23, 2009

The cage came in three well pack boxes. It was very easy to put together took about an 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.

Solid Rack - Alexander Chin, Oct 18, 2009

Assembly did not take very long however a few things you need to look out for. The four support beams are not the same, so make sure they are placed in the proper areas on the rack (two are for the front and the other two are for the back). Also the bolts that come with the rack are NOT the same length despite their appearance, make sure you look at the assembly instructions carefully to make sure you don't use the wrong ones. The ones I got were not labeled so you will have to use your best judgment to separate them out.

Also be sure that you have, at least a SEVEN foot barbell to use with this rack. Any less and the bar will not put your plates on properly because the collars will be inside the short supports (the portion that holds the bar up prior to exercise) rather than outside.

As for the rack itself, I work out in my basement and it has a very low ceiling (probably about 7 ft) and this rack still fits fine down there. It is very sturdy and I feel very comfortable working with heavy weights.

A+, GREAT - P. Stubbs, Sep 13, 2009

I have had this for a while now along with the Body-Solid® Flat Bench (GFB350).

Take your time putting it together, don't over-tighten the bolts, and it will be solid as a rock.
It is about 6'10" tall.

I cut 2 foam noodles in half, and down their length. They fit over the saber-style spotter bars perfectly and keep the racket of clanging weights to a minimum.

I would also recommend adding olympic rings to the pull-up bar.

Need Muscle? Then this rack may be for you! - Robin M. Smith, Sep 13, 2009

This is a sturdy rack, easy to assemble. Service was great from Amazon. All expectations exceeded. 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.
