Thanks to the madness of Covid, i struggled to get a new squat rack last year when i was trying to upgrade my home gym during lockdown. Turned to غ and found this. Was a little sceptical, but its turned out to be a great buy. Arrived quick, easy to put together and surprisingly sturdy. Id actually go as far as saying its better quality than previous kit ive bought from proper gym equipment retailers, including well known branded versions. I only have a few niggles with it, which are; 1. Dip station - I'm 6ft1, so have the rack set quite high to give a comfy squat starting position. This means the dip handles are about shoulder high, (unless i lower them). I can dip at that height, but as there is no central strut linking the 2 outer supports, my body weight pushes and flexes the supports outwards slightly. As such, i feel over time, this would weaken the fixings at the base of these. No issue for me as i have a proper dipping station already and dont need to use this. Suspect it would be fine if you had it set at a lower height too, as there would be far less leverage. 2. The weight plate storage arms are pretty tiny. Only hold 3/4 plates each side, which is a shame, as i could have done with more plate storage.
Regularly supporting ~100kg of weights with ease. I did have a quick strength test after assembling, placed a 100kg barbell on it and then my own body weight on the dip bars also, so a total of ~190kg, and it took it with ease. No signs of stress at all and felt sturdy as anything. Width and height are both adjustable if you need, which is very handy. Have been using now for several months and no complaints. Competitively priced at the best of times, but one of the only ones available at a 'normal' price during lockdown, so extra marks to the seller for that. Great bit of kit that ive been quite impressed with, would recommend.
