This is literally THE BEST installation video of any kind that I have ever watched! Companies should pay you to put these videos together, you did an excellent job! I'm definitely thinking I can install mine now without having to hire someone. The only concern I have is, I have a concrete wall in my garage. Any tips on installing on a concrete wall versus plywood/studs?
Thank you so much for the kind works I’m glad you found it helpful. As for concrete, I think you just need more powerful tools. I would start with a hammer drill and a special concrete drill bit that’s probably made out of a dragons tooth or something. Maybe this video can help th-cam.com/video/Xq1tSFduzVo/w-d-xo.html. I also think you can rent this tool from a Home Depot. A minor inconvenience but still doable. I would bring the lag screw to Home Depot with you and let them know exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. Other than that the process is the same. Hope this helps. Good luck!
This has been sitting in my garage for two years until I saw this video. Thanks so much. You made it look easy.
Your video helped me install mine without reading the instructions . Thank you !!!!
Happy to help!
Thank you! Putting it up today! And you made it look really easy and clear! Love that you gave us which tools we needed and the measurements from the floor up!
Good luck. Hope it turns out well
Thank you for the nice video! We love all the different shots and the efforts that you put in to produce this video. We ordered a rack and it’s coming this Wednesday. So excited!
Good for you. I hope this video helps with your installation.
My turn! Thank you for this video!!!
thank you, now off to go install and use!!
Ok. So... I am going to try this. Thank you for the guidance (thorough). This girl messed up the tools but... Who doesnt enjoy another run to Home Depot?! 😂😜🙌🏾 Wish me luck!
It’s my favorite store lol good luck.
@@jimmypenna26 I did it!!! Not sure how to share a picture ...but... I did it!! Thanks again🤗
Thanks for all the details.
No problem. Happy to help.
What a great video. Prx should link this to their site. Im leaning towards installing myself now. Was it safer using a socket wrench over the impact driver?
Your dog just wanted to let you know who really calls the shots around there. 🤭😂🐕
Incredible job. Thanks so much for this.
I dont have to read the instruction .. oh you the man
Thank you sir
Super helpful thanks!
This helped alot...thank you
Good to gear. Thanks.
Thanks
If my floor is uneven should I still mark each hole 19 inches off the ground?
I would make one mark 19” off the ground from the highest part of the uneven floor then just make sure you use a level and mark the other side. (Does that make sense?) Then as someone mentioned in the comments, get a leveling kit. Prx sells them for $5 and they just snap on to the bottom of the uprights. Very important to make sure both brackets are level. Hope that helps.
Great video! My garage has concrete foundation like yours but it comes up 31inches from the ground. I know PRX recommends 19 inches but is it possible to install the bottom mount on one of the higher holes on the rack?
Nice! How tall is your ceiling and what size rack did you go with? 90” or 96”?
My ceiling is 10 feet and my rack is 90'. I installed this in my garage and It fits great. It won't work with the standard 8ft ceilings.
Just installed mine, was it hard to fold at first? Cause mine is
Yes it was. When it’s about a couple inches from the wall it does jam up a little but not a big deal for me. I think it’s because my walls are a little wonky
What kind of house do you have? I have townhouse with a tandem garage and considering getting this type of setup
A colonial. My garage was the only room with big enough ceilings so it worked out.
Do you have a slight slope in your garage?
What is the height of your ceiling?
Is there a way to shorten the gas shock to attach it to the ears? Everything was smooth except for the very last step
That's odd. They're designed to fit perfectly no matter how off the installation is. Are you sure the ears are pointing down? Hard to say without seeing it.
Yeah I wish I could post the pictures of what I’m talking about. Ears are pointing down on both brackets and the silver part of the shock is about 1/2 inch too long for me to properly attach it.
@@jacobsigworth2475 damn sorry to hear it. Maybe the shocks are extended a little and you need to push the ends together to compress them? I’d call their customer support, hopefully they can help you. Good luck.
@@jimmypenna26 I was able to work things around a little bit and got one of the shocks attached but then of course one of the lag bolts connecting the mount to the wall snapped in half on me. Gotta wait for them to send out a new one to me now
@@jacobsigworth2475 sorry you had trouble. How did you make out?
Is this the 2x3 or 3x3 rack?
This is the Profile® ONE Squat Rack with Kipping Bar™. 2x3
What if the top gas pistons don’t fit?
The way the arms attach to the bracket make the pistons fit perfectly. So even if you screw up the measurements, they will still attach perfectly.
Can you do it without a helper yes or no
Unfortunately you need a helper for like 5 seconds just to help lift it up. Otherwise would be really hard to do by yourself.
What do you do if the floor isnt even
Depends how uneven it is. Mine is a little uneven but once you do pull ups or hang up a bar with weights it settles to the floor. It might also help to add floor tiles which is what I am going to do next.
PRX also sells a leveling kit for $5
@@Jeffb0572 Good to know. I can use one.
