CAP Barbell Power Racks and Attachments

Good product for home
Arrived on-time and I’m a professional welder so I can tell you that the welds at the joints were “good” (i.e. no undercut, porosity, overhand | appearance of good penetration, heat, distance, and speed of wire-feed, etc…). Very easy to assemble and all components were in good shape and present.Back in the day CAP had a large market push for 1″ bars for 1″ plate holes so I have a lot of that equipment. The bar and plate holders for the back are for 2″ bars and plates though so I don’t really have a use for them now since I found this the most affordable and reliable for front/back squatting at home. Would have been nice if there were a rack like this but for 1″ equipment but no biggie. I may purchase an EZ bar with the accompanying 2″ plates later for triceps extensions, shoulder raises, and curls but I don’t need that for now.Finally, I’m 6’1” | 175lbs and the pull-up bar is perfect for me for any kind of hang-man ab-work, pull-ups’, chin-ups, etc. I’m all about high intensity weightlifting so adding this equipment to my personal fitness arsenal. (e.g. Widow-maker back squat set (20 sec rest) + straight leg deadlift (20 sec rest) + dumbbell press (full rest until HR < 120 bpm - start drop-set back squat + reg. deadlift, etc.)Very grateful for a solid rack to allow me to back squat at home

Incredible value
Having the ability to squat and bench at home for just over $100 is an insane value. While this isn’t your dream rack, it works fine and gets you in the door while you save for something nicer. The fit and finish are nicer than I expected at the price point. I don’t keep any weight on the weight storage horn, but the bar storage cup gets a lot more use than I expected. Putting 4 stars because the j-cups are just painted steel and tear up your bar, but nicer 2×2 cups are easy to find and won’t break the bank. My only concern long-term is the 2-piece uprights, but so far they have remained sturdy with up to 225lbs on the rack, and if they loosen I’ll just upgrade to a Titan X-3.

VERY STURDY
One of the biggest reasons that I chose the model was because how sturdy the reviews stated it was, especially compared to other pull up stands. (I use it for hanging leg liftsto stretch my lower back) Everything arrived in good condition, all the parts were there, and directions where good. One critique would be the direction of the standing uprights. I but one together opposite of the other and it would have been too much of a hassle to take apart and redo it. Otherwise a large sturdy stand that you don’t have to worry about tipping over or bending

Worth the money
Got mine set up in my bedroom awhile back and saw i can do a review so here I am. Got it awhile back and I use it to hold my weights so I can work on my back muscles. With spinal problems I need to keep working the muscles so I don’t have spasms going crazy. Other then that I havnt had a single problem at all and my oldest uses it alot also for pull ups and such. 2 thumbs up and a hell ya

Lo utilizzo tutti i giorni per fare qualunque tipo di esercizio con pesi e senza. Versatile, solido e robusto anche con carichi elevati, se vi allenate da soli consiglio comunque l’acquisto delle barre spotter sempre vendute da Cap Barbell per questioni di sicurezza (panca e squat). Limitatamente alla funzionalità sui livelli di rack che costano il doppio o il triplo.

As a more mature gentleman, I now primarily concentrate on body weight exercises.I found that outdoor pull-up bars are generally flimsy in construction and as a result not very stable: unsuited to the job for which they are intended.Then I had a eureka moment and bought the super sturdy Cap Barbell Power Rack.Sometimes I even surprise myself.
