Barball Stand Squat Rack

This is my first time purchasing a barbell rack online & on Amazon. I assumed that the product was in new condition, it was not. Although I am happy with it it’s fairly easy to put together you just have to look at the picture long enough to get it right lol. Toook me about 2hrs to put the damn thing together (alone by the way) if there was 2 people maybe shorter time. Anyway haha, I thought I was paying for a new product and I didn’t get that at all. Some of the polls came rusted not all of them but just 2 of them were. Not complaining but they should put on the page that it is slightly used & not completely “new”. All well. You get what you pay for, it wasn’t cheap or expensive, right in between a fair price. It’s sturdy & strong it’s still a great buy tho! Been building a home gym Since the pandemic & this is a great addition to my gym.

I was able to do my 5x5 on squat, bench, and OHP on this with some minor adjustments to how I normally lift. As I expected from these not having much weight to them and not having a cross-member support, they are not all too sturdy. Due to this I take a 45lb plate and weigh it down on the stands when I'm benching or doing anything that doesn't require my extra 2 45's and it seems to work fine. However, when squatting it gets a little scary. In one instance I managed to miss the hook to re-rack and 275lbs went slamming down into the safety and tipped one of the stands over. Suffice to say no damage was done to the rack besides some paint chipping so it seems to be somewhat resilient to shocks. Overall, it's a good rack but it's unsteady so I'd suggest weighing the base down if possible. If you can't, then just very carefully re-rack your weights to not tip it and die. Update: The hooks at the top tend to chew into the knurling on whatever bar you're using. To prevent this I bought myself a styrene-butadiene rubber sheet, cut out a small section, and gorilla taped it to the hook where the bar rests. Seems to have fixed this issue for a few months so far.

Item arrived earlier than promised. Shipping damage to box, but contents were unharmed and all pieces were included. Instructions were in very small print, in Mandarin and English. Assembly was straight forward...but I had the advantage of reading other reviews that helped me to navigate the assembly. You need to have metric wrenches or sockets, since no tools were included. Do not over torque the nuts, or you will deform the tubing. Stands are fairly solid and stable, after making sure I had everything lightly tightened and on a level surface. The safety catches are not long enough to be convenient, so you have to carefully position the bench and your position on it when bench pressing. All things considered, it was a good purchase, but some things (like the instructions) could have been done better. I haven't tested the weight limit yet, but I'm sure that it will handle the weights of which I am capable.

First, the stands are easy to assemble. I sat on the floor with parts aligned around me and both 17mm wrench and ratchet. Didn’t take 10mn, sitting down. Second, the racks are light yet sturdy. Weather permitting I bring a bar and the racks out on the deck where I keep some plates in one of those Suncast resin boxes (elevate the plates, pvc treillis & 2x4 sections) and enjoy a good pre-commute work out as the sun rises. I’ve put 230lbs. on the highest *pinned* setting and the racks are perfectly stable. Third, the vendor provides good customer support. One of the spring-loaded pins was stuck, and remained so despite giggle-loo and wd40 treatment. Soon after sending a pic to the vendor supporting my description of the problem I received a replacement part. When I find a good deal on second-hand bar & plates I’ll buy another set of these and leave them in the truck. There are plenty of parks nearby where I’d enjoy early morning workouts. Just say no to loud, stuffy gyms...

I love this squat rack. It was very simple to assemble. Love that it is adjustable and very easy to move. Very affordable!! Highly recommend this squat rack.

The advantages of this product are that it's versatile, easy to move around, and doesn't take up a lot of space. I did squats with it with 265lbs on the 2nd highest setting, and it handled it well. The main disadvantage of this product is that it's not as stable as a more conventional squat rack. It can't really handle any lateral force and tips easily. I would definitely recommend placing additional weight (such as sandbags) on the base for extra stability. The top portion wobbles a little bit due to its adjustability as well. It can take an extra minute or so to make sure the individual stands are set up evenly. I bought this during the COVID outbreak because it was the only squat rack that wouldn't take multiple months to ship to my house. It's decent enough, but I would opt to get a more conventional squat/power rack that's one solid piece if you have the option to do so.

It’s the perfect addition to my home gym. It was easy to put together and the rack or very functional. You don’t need to much room and it’s easy to store away.

The installing was a little bit difficult. Not because the instructions were hard, but because the bolts were stubborn. I had to use my own tools to tighten them up properly. I wish it was a little more bottom heavy. I almost ended up dropping the stand when I was doing a decline bench press. Luckily my reflexes kicked in and I was able to push them back before getting hurt. It’s easy to move up and down so that’s great! Although I wouldn't have the barbell on when you’re adjusting the length. It’s a great addition to my home gym. And its a bargain compared to the other stands I’ve reviewed. I can’t give input in terms of weight capacity . The max weight I can do is 70lbs (only because I don’t have the plates for more). I also use a standard barbell but I think an olympic barbell can fit but don’t quote me on that.

組み立て工具は入ってないので、モンキーやメガネ、ラチェットにて17サイズを持っていると良いかと。 締めすぎると中に入り込むので注意。 それ以外は予想よりも良いものでした。

Safety spotter arm broke off the first time I tried to use it. I merely set a bar I was doing arm curls with on the spotter arms while I rested between sets, and the screw holding one of the arms to the frame literally snapped off. Scared to use it for anything else-total waste of money.

工具が必要 17ミリのソケットレンチにインパクトドライバーが付いたものと、フライヤーが無いと組み立てられない

丈夫で良いです

物はすごくしっかりした作りで頑丈で、お値段以上かと思いますが、組立時にどう考えても穴が合わないパーツがありました。加工も硬すぎて困難なので本当に苦労した。 しかも工具がついていないので、最低ペンチと六角レンチは自分で用意する必要がある（しかもかなりしっかりした工具じゃないと厳しい）自分はもともと工具はたくさんあったのでよかったが、そうじゃない人は途方に暮れるのでは、、、 とはいえ足の部分さえ何とかできてしまえば、あとは楽ちんです。
