CAP Barbell Power Rack Exercise Stand,

Very nice at-home rack. It’s very basic but gets the job done. I love the color options. It’s not the sturdiest, so no kipping pull-ups, but other than that it does exactly what I need it to. There’s holes for you to bolt it to the ground if you want, not sure how much more sturdy it would be. Many pieces to assemble it, but it’s stayed together so far. The pack of bolts must have busted open in transit because they were all over the box when I opened it and I was a few nuts short. Luckily my dad had some in the garage that fit so it worked out. I like the bar sleeve and little bit of plate storage in the back, very convenient. If you need a rack to hold your bar for squats or bench presses and strict pull-ups on a budget, then here you go. It’s compact and doesn’t take up much room. It’s light enough that I can move it to wear I need it to be after being assembled.

I used to use a door pull up bar but over time it wore down the frame of my door where the bar was in contact. I searched for pull up racks on amazon and this one is THE BEST bang for your buck. There is a very slight wobble but it is nothing to worry about. I am 5'11 and when I first got this a little over a month ago I was 220 lbs. I have used this every day and its so simple but versatile. WORKS VERY WELL WITH CALISTHENICS. You do need a relatively high ceiling clearing if you want to do things like muscle ups and you must be very controlled while doing so otherwise it will wobble. If you get resistance bands you can easily work towards a more controlled muscle up where you don't need to kip or swing. Highly recommend if you are looking for something durable and not overly expensive.

Easy to assemble, sturdy, and perfect for a home gym!

The rack is great overall. I love that it has the pull-up bar, since I use it for resistance band training. My max load, including the Olympic bar, is 125 lbs and I’ve felt like it’s definitely sturdy enough for it. I deducted 1 star for workmanship because (you may be able to see it on the close-up pic) if you’re not careful, there’s unclean machining cuts that connect the blue rods and you could easily cut yourself building it or maybe even if you hold on to the side of the rack to stretch or something like that. Also, the bars that have the ends like a T had the ends bent, so I risked breaking them and used a mallet to straighten them out instead of dealing with shipping it back (it worked). Lastly, one of the blue rods has a long, metal piece inside and it can’t be taken out - it’s due to scrap metal from poor machining work - and it dings around if you pick-up & move the rack, but I suppose no one’s really going to move the rack regularly. Is the paint perfect? No, but it’s close enough. I’d still buy it again instead of paying more for other models.

Perfect for what I needed it for it doesn’t take up a lot of space and is very basic to do basic compound lifts like squat and bench and pull ups but I would not load it up with more than 300 lbs max because it is not built for that it’s built for lighter weights for someone who is just starting out or someone who is old like me who doesn’t need to go heavy anymore it is stable enough for lighter weights it never feels like it is gonna topple it was easy to assemble it does tend to scratch pretty easily it’s not that thick but feels rigid enough overall it’s a great buy for the price if you just need something to start or maintain some form of resistance training.

Very sturdy and great for the value. Doesnt take up unnecessary space and it daily portable. And a nice feature that you can choose the color!

Okay, the price is right. We’re doing squats, presses, pulls etc. The whole family uses it. It’s versatile and we’re getting our money’s worth. Lots of shortcomings though, but truly hard to beat considering the cost. So, what are the shortcomings? For folks over 5’ 10”, it’s really too short. We remedied this by bolting 4” squares underneath to add some height. If you get some good lumber that’s straight and true, it’ll add weight and stabilize the thing. Next, there’s a bolted joint right in the middle of the post, about where you really want to place the bar rack hooks. That joint and those fasteners render 5 inches of the posts pretty much useless. And that useless area is right in my sweet spot for bench presses. Again, putting some lumber under the legs helps move that spot. Now the rack hooks - you’ll have to cut up an old mat and use a bit of glue to improvise some padding, otherwise your bar’s going to get chewed up. I bought the optional safety bars - these didn’t exactly fit the rack and shifted under loading. They were very cheaply made (they have padding but need more) and required a little reworking with a vice and Dremel tool to get them to fit the posts properly. This is not to say that they are unsafe. Once tweaked, they hold the weight of a loaded bar and will work in an emergency. Oh, and about the Dremel tool. There’s plenty of little rough edges on this thing. I got a few bites! Just go over them with your Dremel or a sanding block. All in all, its a very economical option, especially for folks outside the lower 48 of the US where shipping is the issue. Bear in mind, though you’ll need to fiddle with it to make it work for you.

Great product for price. Had my personal trainer suggest this and it’s been perfect. I would say pay the extra add on for the Olympic weight rack on the back makes it much more stable and made me feel more comfortable. Easy assembly. CAP is a reliable brand for budget friendly stuff.

Not Bad & Very Light

Great value! Easy setup because of great instructions. Started using it immediately and seems stable enough to do pull-ups.

賃貸マンションなので突っ張り懸垂バー的なものは壁が凹んだので､こちらの鉄棒に出会えて大満足です♪ バーベルも使える仕様なのでコスパ最高！子供達も空きあらばブラブラしてます。

Easy to put together and works just fine for a home gym. Great value

Good but of kit, easy to assemble and works how it should. Only downside is bolts are in the way for j hooks to go at the right height for incline press.
