I bought the same rack, ended up welding the uprights at the middle, as well as at the triangle gussets and the sides. I can still unbolt the back cross brace and the pullup bar for moving it. I also got creative and purchased a Titan Fitness T2 rack extension and bolted it on with a few creative modifications to increase plate storage. Works good enough for me to get a few years out of it. Oh, and I picked up a sheet of 1/8" UHMW from Amazon and lined the J-cups with it using JB Weld.
It took me until this video and a whole year later to figure out that one side was a plate holder and the other one was to hold the bar. I was wondering why I couldn't fit any plates on one side of the rack.
Hey man thanks for the video- did you get the spotter arms straight from the website? Or can you leave a link? Also curious about your cable system and any other accessories or mods you have.
Nice upgrade! I bought the same rack from CAP from Amazon but they oversold and cancelled my purchase. Ended up getting the BD 9 squat/bench rack combo from Valor Fitness and am beyond satisfied. (No rust)
The thing is with cheap racks is they work great when used properly even with a couple of hundred kg but when the shit hits the fan and your knee gives way the supports on rack won’t stop the weight crashing down you

Got this rack recently on an auction site for 55 bucks so had very low expectations but it has been surprisingly sound, did come with all the pieces and its def better than not having a rack at all. I need to watch your DIT outlet video here soon. It was hilarious to me to pay 30 bucks for the spotter arms after only paying 55 for the rack but c'est la vie.
Cap really sucks, my J hooks came bent, I had to use a wrench to flatten them. I guess buy nice or buy twice, Love the video and editing, new sub :)!!!!!
Awesome I’ll look for it! Got this rack coming in the mail, it’s a different model but basically same. I think mine came w the support arms. Do you still like it? Won’t be doing crazy things with it, just got it for the my boys who play football baseball and basketball.
@@TheEppy4207 Yes I really don't have any complaints about it! I don't use it as often now that gyms opened back up but it does everything I need it to at a fraction of the cost of everything else in the market.

Hey! my rack is coming in soon. Do you have any recommendations for an adjustable bench that fits with this rack? I've seen some reviews about how it can be diffuclt to do incline bench press with it
I have the powerblock sport bench and I have no complaints with it! It works great for Incline with this rack. I can really speak for other benches but I have heard good things about the amazon basics bench if you are looking for a cheap flat bench
It rocks a very slight amount but definitely feels stable. If you added weight to the base I don't think it would move at all. That being said I probably wouldn't do muscle up on it unless I had some serious weight holding the base down. There are holes to bolt it to the floor if you'd like too.

Best rack for the 💵. But if you save your 💰, go with Rogue!😊 Cannot go wrong using the best equipment out there! Got have lots of money for the accessories too! Think of a Rolls! Everything is expensive, like accessories! Save a good 5 years because Rogue has a lot of expensive stuff to add on!😂
@@austinschiefelbein1099 i went with rogue after selling all my old gym stuff for $900. i couldnt find that cap on walmart/amazon for that cheap so i went high end lol
I have fringe sports version of this rack the uprights are 1 piece and its seems a little better quality but it's also not my final rack eventually I would like a full cage with seat belt safety straps

I used duct tape lol

Are you planning to get flooring done? Is that carpet you currently have?
I actually moved out 6 months ago and abandoned the home gym concept. It was great over covid but I found I'm way more motivated at a normal gym
The thing is with cheap racks is they work great when used properly even with a couple of hundred kg but when the shit hits the fan and your knee gives way the supports on rack won’t stop the weight crashing down you
Valid point, good thing I'm only putting up bitch weight
What is the white olympic bench you had first I had one a couple of years ago
Would you please link the spotter arms you used. Can't find them on Amazon
yeah please

What all did you use to assemble I’m having difficulty
Were to get the safety's for this rack couse no one else can find them
i love the video but is there any chance you can tell me where you got the safety spooters from?
Been a month later and I’m still waiting on the diy cable system !!:)))
It's coming I promise!
Did it come?
Does it come with safety bars
Wished I had seen this before building my own for $200.
Can you use the spotter arms to bench on this rack? Have you tried this out before and also do you know how much weight it can hold?
Did you find out
@@alpha_instinctzz1250 I didn't but I think you can still bench on it and judging by the the cheap material probably 120-130kg max
Did u ever make the cable system video u made?
I filmed all of it and am currently in the process of editing it! Got real busy with work lately :/

Hey, what barbell do you use?
Where did you get the spotter arms for the rack
Can you bench press on a half rack?
What tools did you use
Anyone know if there is a dip bar accessory attention that can be purchased for this?
Where is the cable machine video?
It came with rust?
Hey can you adjust the height of the rack? Thanks
I don't see any way that you could besides cutting off a couple inches from the uprights and drilling new holes for the pull up bar.
Thanks man!
great video, very cleanly put together
Where did you fit the spotter arms that fit this model? i cannot find them for the life of me. lol Amazon or anything haha
Can I use a six foot bar or dose it have to be a seven foot bar?
Does it come with the safety arms?
can u put the link whwre u got everything in the bio please or reply

Great video thanks for your time and help 😊
how has it held up to this day, do you still have it?
Cool weight bench! where did you get it?
Is CAP still in business? Their website has been restricted from new orders for months.

I plan to do pull ups on it, can you adjust the height of the rack?
No, im only 5,6 but am still able to do them fine just need to extend your arms and hop up a little. Hope this helped

500 lbs
What did you get for a bench thanks
It's a powerblock sport bench
Got the same flag behind my Rogue Rack. Semper Paratus shipmate.

U think this rack is good for 350lb bench max n 400lb squat
It says it's good up to 500! My biggest concern would be the jcups failing so if you're worried about that you can always buy better jcups
@@mikezeller u think any jcup would work
How does it look when you do pull ups on this ? I would assume shaky, but how much ? thanks
