I needed a compact rack to fit my relatively small home gym room, while still having a pull-up/chin-up bar. This rack was available and had the right dimensions.
It is of a very solid construction. Even without bolting it to the floor or adding plates to the back storage it doesn't move when racking a heavier bar. It has plenty of holes with small spacing in between so it can be adjusted relatively finely. It's great value for money, since it includes spotter arms and j-hooks.
The only improvements I could see would be:
- To have knurling on the "front side" of the pull-up handles. There's only knurling on the diagonal part that sticks out and down, which I don't use.
- To have the pull-up handles spaced closer together. I'm of an average to slim build and when I do chin-ups, I have to take a somewhat wide grip.
- To have number markings by the holes, so that it's easier to remember at what height to put the spotter arms and j-hooks for bench press and squat/overhead press.
It's also quite a feat that the spotter arms and j-hooks are rated at 400kg. More than anyone could need!
