Cap Barbell Squat Stand Power Rack Update. .Still Worth It?

In this video I give an update to the CAP Barbell (FM-90FQ) Exercise Stand Power Rack. This is notoriously known as the cheapest squat rack you can buy on Amazon.com. I picked mine up about 2 years ago and was a little apprehensive but also confident that based on what I was getting it for, it couldn't be that bad. I touch on how it held up, how I use it, and if I still think it's worth it.

Nice review - covered all the important points.
Some people definitely go overboard with equipment and get nervous about a bit of instability. I have a basic 4 post Bodysolid rack that has given 10yrs good service.

[@hybridresistance]

I agree, I don't think you need super expensive stuff for the basics and not pushing heavy weight.

[@aben8192]

Bolt this thing down, get the recommended safety barbell catch and this is one amazing home gym

[@ryokan9120]

If you can't bolt it down, will putting weights on the two weight racks provide a valid alternative?

[@rgh622]

It only has one plate pin. The other is a barbell stand and it's too wide a diameter to put a plate on it. It works fine if you load the one pin though.

[@ryokan9120]

Thank you!@@rgh622

[@buddyryan875]

Thanks I have been looking around for something like this mainly that can handle the suspension trainer. Not many people out there demo doing suspension trainer on a small rack or power tower. This will be perfect can add to it slowly to do barbell stuff if I feel like it

[@andre-le-bone-aparte]

Question: Do you have a video going over all the accessories you use with the rack?

[@allansim2588]

Hi thank you for the imformative video. Mu Kettler barbell is only 150cm/60 inch. Waa wondering if it could fit in. Please advice. Thanks

[@tvboxify]

Can I ask what the measurements are for this rack? In particular, how wide is it? I see the measurements online say it is about 46 inches, but I don't think that includes the little ground anchors on each side. I have a space that is 48 inches wide and want to use the Cap Barbell rack as as a pullup bar. Thanks!

If the uprights were one piece it would be a GREAT value, however,connecting uprights in the center scares the daylight out of me as many bad things can and will happen if you go over 300 pounds.

[@mikep3322]

I've went to 335 for 2 years 2 times a week and never had problems

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

@@mikep3322 Mike, I’m glad the rack is working for you. I like to play it safe and use racks that are a little sturdy for a piece of mind.

[@samkrumme4582]

Only thing that worry’s me is the two piece post

[@marccapule6337]

Thanks - very helpful

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Marc.

[@ratlord3946]

Can it work with shorter barbells? Like 155 cm

[@hybridresistance]

I wouldn't think so.

[@diydad9303]

How’s it holding up? I just bit the bullet and picked one up from Amazon.

[@hybridresistance]

It held up totally fine. I ended up giving it away to someone after I got another rack to review for the channel

[@slumpq]

What is the most weight you got on this?

[@Pray_Grind]

what about dips?

[@gerardoc1028]

The "deluxe" version is better than this one?

[@hybridresistance]

Hard to say. The deluxe is still a "cheap" rack but just a slightly bigger build. It does some with the safety bars so that is a big plus, because you'd have to buy these extra on this one.

[@liljoe7171]

Damn!! I took a Sat and built one outside....had I known this thing only cost that much, I'd hav just bought that!!🤦‍♂️ wouldnt be pulling an "Arnold" and putting hundreds of pounds on it, woulda been fine....damn, I'm kinda bummed I missed out on it. 👍 good stuff.

[@hybridresistance]

The experience was probably worth it. Thanks for watching

[@Po7ent]

7ft tall?

[@Agent77X]

Sold!😊
