  Verified Purchase

  I bought this during the ongoing pandemic to restart my 5x5 stronglifts programme. I chose this one only becauseI don't have a lot of room, it was relatively inexpensive and could be delivered within 4 days. I honestly should have bought something else and been prepared to wait a little longer. The stand itself if fairly sturdy until you load more than 100kg onto a bar, then it becomes wobbly. The spotter arms are welded on at a strange height and are very short, meaning that if you're under average height, you can't squat low enough within the stand, meaning you have to step back making the spotter arms redundant. This fixed spotter arm position also means that this stand is no good for benching as the weight plates can catch on them when you're lifting. I'm giving it 3 stars because the welding is generally good and it's easy to put together. If you're shorter than average height (like me) or expect to be squatting more than 100kg (like me), avoid this model and get something with adjustable height spotter arms.
