Product Description
Not much to say here. This unit is solid and built to take a beating. This is the ultimate free weight training system.
The cage provides a safe method of performing all of the barbell power exercises such as squats, rows, dead lifts and all pressing movements with the security of the adjustable spotter bars.
The base Power rack can be purchased alone and includes both the chin up bar and also the dip bars at no additional cost. For a complete gym you can add the lat tower option that provides a high low pulley system for numerous cable exercises.
Utility Bench not included.

 Essential Home Gym Equipment October 22, 2008

Buy this if you work out at home--it is essential. A utility bench is also essential (but the Powertec bench is overpriced--look at your local sporting goods store or on craigslist for a bench).
I purchased this in 10/2008 for $499 (w/ free shipping). It arrived within a week.
I love it. The rack is totally solid, and was easy to assemble. I was sold on this rack because of the dip bars and pull-up bars--and they are better than I imagined. The dip bars are angled and can be attached in either direction (pointing in or out) so you can do wide dips or triceps dips regardless of your size. After working out with a makeshift home gym for over a year (sawhorses, doing dips on ladders) this rack has changed everything--I am already lifting much heavier weight just knowing that the rack is there to catch if I fail.
Seriously--if you work out at home, buy this. It will change your life and save you from injury.
Great rack October 4, 2007

I love this thing. It's solid, well-made, and even pretty cool looking. I like doing sets to failure, especially on bench press, and this rack inspires complete confidence despite the fact that I don't have a spotter. It's probably the best investment I've ever made in fitness equipment. As soon as I've got some spare cash I'll be adding the lat tower attachment.

I work out at home in my basement. I don't have a spotter. Unfortunately, a couple of months ago, I suffered an injury when my bench decided to drop into decline mode while performing tricep presses. Then a couple of weeks ago while doing bench press, I had a scare when I couldn't get weights off my chest. So, finally I did the research and decided on this rack. I am really happy with my decision. This is a very solid and nice looking rack. I can finally do exercises to failure and do squats that I have been neglecting to do. If you are thinking about getting a rack, you better decide quickly, prices for steel are going up and as a result equipment like this is going up in price. I paid less than what this is currently selling for.
Best Lifting Deal Ever. April 18, 2008

Purchased for $349 with free super saver shipping. This is an awesome piece of equipment with incredible quality, even at twice the price. Dip and pull-up bars included which saves space and money. If you add the high low pully, matching utility bench, barbell & weight, and a set of dumbells you suddenly have a very respectable hard-core gym. The grey baked on paint is prone to scraping when moving the spotting arms, but the scratches are silver, so hardly noticable. Still, this is the best power rack for the money-a steal at $349 shipped!
Excellent value - Very pleased with rack April 27, 2008

I purchased this rack and am VERY PLEASED with it. It was very straight forward to assemble - I did it solo. Seems very solid.
I really like the dip bars. They are well thought out and taper inward, so you can find the width that works best for you. Very stable also.
The chin bar is also good. If you are heavy or add weight on the chins, you may want to have the bar with a little weight on it to avoid any slight forward motion of the rack. Has not been a problem for me yet - but only doing body weight chins so far.
The frame and spotting pins are very solid.
Another benefit was the height of this unit. It is a little more compact - and shorter - than many units. That helped it fit better in my small (townhouse) garage.
Very pleased with this purchase.
