Half Rack

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!

I waited a little while to make an opinion but the half rack is just complete. Pull-ups (supine, pronated, neutral), safety bar for big movements, easy to set up, nothing to say except: thank you Strength Shop.

Super qualité, le prix est support bon par rapport au marché. Aucune hésitation à avoir c’est le top du top 👍

Perfect !! Just wow

I have this half rack for a half year now and I still love it. It's very solid mine is not bolted down and it only moves a centimeter when I rerack a 150kg bar (and thus most of my weights are not on the rack anymore). I believe that if you would have some big plates on the rack it doesn't even move reracking from a 200kg squat in its unbolted form.

If there is one thing I would change about this rack, it would be to put some additional holes at the bottom for band pegs (like the riot multi station).
I also use various bands, gymnastic rings on this rack to mimic all kinds of other different movements. Attaching bands to the rack at different heights mimics a great pulley system (the bands at Strengtshop are also good quality).

P.s. customer service is world class

Solid construction! Pull-up bar is very good! Plus plates storage system is great addition! Works well with DIP bar attachment also!
