  • Height: 83.5″
  • Product weight: ~133 lbs
  • Steel Gauge: 14-gauge (2×2″ uprights)

  • Space requirement: Medium (Compact Full Cage)
  • HGM take: Arguably the internet’s best known budget power rack (full cage), and for a HGM shopper, it would be the cheaper alternative to the the REP PR-1100 (which we think is best-in-class).  Its dimensions, footprint, and steel are nearly identical to its main competitor, and it’s usually cheaper.  Why isn’t it as good as the REP?  It doesn’t even have J-Cups (forget having them lined); they are chrome bar holders.  The horizontal beams securing the back uprights are at mid-heights, which won’t offer quite as much stability.  However, this rack has famously withstood a 700lb drop from shoulder level to its pins, and passed the test (not unscathed, but impressive nevertheless).
