CAP Barbell Power Racks and Attachments

Very easy to assemble using my own Allen wrench and ratchet. I don’t know how much I would try on it, but it’s holding 225 for my squats, I haven’t tried to bench press with it yet as I have a high end bench that I use. So far it’s very sturdy on an uneven floor

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

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 2x2 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.

Sturdy, compact, practical, and stable. Looks nice too. I could swing a bit on the pull up bar and it didn’t budge a bit. I did not try purposefully swinging about a crazy amount because the room it’s in is small and there are windows.It took me about 2 hours to put together not because it’s was difficult to understand, there were simply a fair amount of steps. I am very happy with the quality and results as this is a great help to being a beginning weightlifter although my ultimate goal is to bulk up and buy a Smith Machine (which costs much more) and take this outside to have more unrestrained fun with the pull-up bar.A++++++I'll add reviews of the add-ons to this product here, as and if I buy them.a) Cap Barbell Safety Catches / Spotter ArmsI got the red ones as red is a warning color and reminder. They are heavy duty, painted with thick enamel, and have no rust. The thin rubber pads on the top surface are glue to the painted metal and mostly stuck, but not completely, no problem though as they were screwed into the safety catches so they won't come off regardless.I'm happy they were available as I am weak and have no spotter. These are a must to protect me.

I really like it! I feel like it was pretty easy to build. I didn’t build it but I saw my boyfriend build it and it took like 10 min. I think it’s sturdy. Not like super super sturdy but you get what you paid for. My brother weighs 210lbs and he was able to use to the pull up with no issue :)

I bought the CAP barbell, 45lb bumper plates, rack, and dip bar and all work great and are very affordable. I haven't had any issues with anything and assembly is straightforward.The dip bar is a bit awkward due to the height where you need to put it and the bolts that hold the uprights of the racks - either you go above it and it's pretty high, or below and it could be low for taller people. I've found that they work best if facing away from the rack upright.
