CAP BarbellPower Racks and Attachments

This is a decent rack! I don’t bench more than 45lb plates on each side of the barbell so for me it works great! I’m so happy I don’t have to wait around at the gym anymore for weights. Without weights it doesn’t feel a hundred percent sturdy but once you store plates on it, it doesn’t move :) I was also able to hang from the top bar and it held me up great and I weigh 200lbs. It’s a nice rack and it’s nice to look at! One side of the rack has storage for weights and the other side is to store your barbell. Ease of assembly? Idk because my dad built it but he did it himself with no complaints :)

Arrived on-time and I'm a professional welder so I can tell you that the welds at the joints were "good" (i.e. no undercut, porosity, overhand | appearance of good penetration, heat, distance, and speed of wire-feed, etc...). Very easy to assemble and all components were in good shape and present.Back in the day CAP had a large market push for 1" bars for 1" plate holes so I have a lot of that equipment. The bar and plate holders for the back are for 2" bars and plates though so I don't really have a use for them now since I found this the most affordable and reliable for front/back squatting at home. Would have been nice if there were a rack like this but for 1" equipment but no biggie. I may purchase an EZ bar with the accompanying 2" plates later for triceps extensions, shoulder raises, and curls but I don't need that for now.Finally, I'm 6'1'' | 175lbs and the pull-up bar is perfect for me for any kind of hang-man ab-work, pull-ups', chin-ups, etc. I'm all about high intensity weightlifting so adding this equipment to my personal fitness arsenal. (e.g. Widow-maker back squat set (20 sec rest) + straight leg deadlift (20 sec rest) + dumbbell press (full rest until HR < 120 bpm - start drop-set back squat + reg. deadlift, etc.)Very grateful for a solid rack to allow me to back squat at home

Having the ability to squat and bench at home for just over $100 is an insane value. While this isn't your dream rack, it works fine and gets you in the door while you save for something nicer. The fit and finish are nicer than I expected at the price point. I don't keep any weight on the weight storage horn, but the bar storage cup gets a lot more use than I expected. Putting 4 stars because the j-cups are just painted steel and tear up your bar, but nicer 2x2 cups are easy to find and won't break the bank. My only concern long-term is the 2-piece uprights, but so far they have remained sturdy with up to 225lbs on the rack, and if they loosen I'll just upgrade to a Titan X-3.

Got this for my boyfriend and I and have it placed in the garage. He started putting it together but couldn’t finish so I finished and I’d say assembly is pretty simple. Very sturdy! Rack size is great and I appreciate the small nubs in the back to hold other weights. 100% looks great and works phenomenally!

I really like it! I feel like it was pretty easy to build. I didn’t build it but I saw my boyfriend build it and it took like 10 min. I think it’s sturdy. Not like super super sturdy but you get what you paid for. My brother weighs 210lbs and he was able to use to the pull up with no issue :)

Reviewing months after I bought. This product is great for the price you pay.Also want to recognize CAPs customer service. I recently moved and had my box of “parts” stolen and when I email them explaining what happened, they sent out all the replacement parts I needed to reassemble it, at no charge. It came in less than 6 days.

The base unit itself seems pretty decent, but the pictures show that it has posts on each side for weight storage. The actual main picture on Amazon shows weight storage posts on both sides.When I actually get the product, it comes with one weight plate storage post, and another post that I thought must have been the wrong part. It turns out that unlike the product image on here, it has a weight bar storage on the right hand side.This is utterly stupid, because whenever you store weight plates you're gonna want an even distribution. If you don't have an even distrubution the unit's gonna be incredibly unstable. If you put any horizontal force WHAT SO EVER the unit tips over.So I called CAP Barbel. Automated voice mail NO ONE ANSWERING PHONE EVER. The voicemail says to email them. I email them. They get back to me 3-4 days later and tell me I have the right part.. Long story short they say I can order the part from them for $9 .. I fill out the Credit Cart authorization form and mail it back.A week goes by I hear nothing. I email them. Another 4 days go by nothing. I email them demanding a response. I get a reply "We're still trying to locate it in our warehouse." I say thanks for the update.. Another week goes by nothing, I email asking for an update. Nothing..It has been over a month or more maybe even two months since I ordered this. I still cannot use it. Recently I decided on a DIY solution-- Found some 2" diameter furniture feet on here that have a screw hole in the bottom. Got them, with slight modification they work. Go to Home Depot. They don't have a good supply of screws of the damn right size because it's metric. I get the longest they got. This morning realize they're too short.Who knows what.. 2 months? Longer after my purchase, I can't use the god damn thing that I paid $100 for. CAP has one that costs $200 that has weight plate posts on both sides but again, does it really? This one had the damn picture of two and it only has one.Amazon has a 30 day return policy. Do the math. I wasted my money. Bought the wrong product. CAP barbell's customer service is fricken garbage.Super dissatisfied customer. Now instead of going to Kung Fu I'm headed to Loews to see if they have 3" bolts in the right size so I can finally use the product that I bought ages ago and CAP was NO GOD DAMN HELP WHATSOEVER.Never buying another product from CAP barbell unless I know 100% from seeing the god damn thing in person that it's what I need, and I will never have to speak to the manufacturer.From what I can tell: Decent product. Complete piece of trash customer support.
