PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack

the product is great and very sturdy but the shipping materials were terrible. i'm not sure how the company thinks cardboard without any additional support will keep the frame and its parts from puncturing the box. i am lucky the delivery person was nice because the package of bolts fell out at some point through one of the punctured areas of the box. the driver left them sitting on top of the box for me.

Sturdy as can be. However I'd recommend putting the back end of the feet against a wall or something or it can shift around a bit when you're putting the bar back on the rack after a heavy bench. Or at least have it on a rubber mat. It would be good to have a spotter with you so it doesn't tilt back if you slam your weight back on the rack so it doesn't tip over. If you're careful that's not an issue, or if you wanted to somehow bolt it into your floor. :)

Also the height-adjust holes are spaced a little far apart so it's not that precise as to how you might like your benching, about 3 inches apart. I haven't tried it for squats yet. You'd definitely need a spotter for squats because obviously there's nothing to catch the weight for you if you can't stand back up with a heavy weight. It took me 15 minutes to put the thing together myself using 2 wrenches.

For the price though it's definitely solid. You can get a Gold's Gym olympic 45# bar at Walmart for $45, same bar they use at normal gyms, and olympic plates are there too for about $0.80/pound or find them at Sports authority or something if they go on sale.

Great shipping. This item came in almost a week before the estimated delivery date. The squat rack is solid, and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheep rack.

I have very limited space so a "cage"-type squat rack just wouldn't do for me. Also, I do reps with a little under 400 pounds so it couldn't be a rinky-dink thin-walled round-tube pair of uprights like you see bolted onto cheap weight benches. This rack is a decent compromise for those of us with a little space and the desire to squat fairly heavy in that space. Any heavier and I'd be wise to go to the gym and have spotters on hand anyway. In my opinion, this was a solid purchase I'd recommend.

Very solid- easy to assemble. Arrived quickly. I didn't realize that I needed a larger barbell however. You need 45" between the plates for it to fit on this rack. I found one on Amazon, a 7' barbell, but now I have to spend another 50 bucks for that.
