4.0 out of 5 stars Happy so far, February 19, 2008

I have only used this for about four workouts but I like it so far. I upgraded from a "body by jake olympic bench rack" because I wanted to lift heavier without the danger of dropping the weight on myself. Easy to assemble. I use it for squats, straight leg deadlifts, standing overhead press, pullups - if I lift my legs up, dips, bench press. Only negative is that the paint scratches easily. But then again I didn't buy it to look at.

Update: After 3 months of use 3 times a week I am still pleased with this purchase.

Update: 2+ yrs of use. Showing a little more wear but no complaints.

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.

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.
