Valor Fitness BD-33 Heavy Duty Power Rack - Squat Rack Combo - Power Cage Bundle Options Available - Weightlifting Home Gym Equipment

First, this is perfect for your home gym, easy to assemble and perfect for back squats, bench presses, lat pulldowns, bent over barbell rows, heavier shrugs, seated calf raises, you name it! The only down sides that I can see so far are:1. I can see the cables will wear out, you need to maintain them and exercise caution.2. Doing bench presses, you will not be able to use the higher weight peg if you're pressing with 45lb plates, as there will not be room (at least for me), unless you're only using the safety bars...3. For seated rows, you won't be able to use them with 45lb plates as there will not be room to go all the way down.Otherwise, this is great for my usage and seems sturdy. I removed the top two weight holder pegs and have room. May purchase other extensions in the future for cable flys and so forth.

So far so good, packaging was questionable at best. But everything in fine shape. Whole set takes hours to set up but nothing too bad. A helper at times would really make it work quicker.The lat part works nicely and very smooth for a home machine. Fly machine is less smooth but overall gets the job done, but this is not a commercial grade smoothness. But for 1k it’s well worth it not to have to travel. Not exact measurement but you will need approx 10x10 spot to make it work

My power rack is not the BD-33, and I knew ahead of time that I would have to make adjustments. Fortunately I have a nice metal shop, with cut-off saws, wire-feed welder, grinders, etc. So I built a different cross piece to hold the top center. And had to push the bottom attachment away about an 1-1/2" from the my power rack bottom cross piece, but fortunately I had holes in my bottom 2x2" cross piece that matched the holes in the lat bottom attachment. My chief complaint is that the foot pedals interfere with any plates larger than metal 25 pounders. So I cut the foot pedals so that when doing rowing I could use metal 45 pounders. I also ordered 2 inch center hole adapters from the same company, 9 inches long, to slide over the one inch bars so that my 2 inch hole weights fit and don't bang around. I also glued in the plastic sliders in the square tubing that slides up and down, after having read the other reviews stating that they loosen and fall out. I used 2 part epoxy and that worked well. I also build a moveable 2 x 2" square tubing cross piece that fits the holes in my rack, with a pulley in the center, and made cables from coated 1/8" airplane cable of various lengths so that I could have intermediate pulling. This works for exercises like seated rowing with a little bench, instead of pulling from the floor, and neck exercises, cable flyes, etc.

I ordered this power rack, so I can maximize my workouts. Box came in two parts, not a big deal. Pieces all there and enough washers and screws to assemble the rack with no issues. Assembled the rack with no problem, Welds seem clean and strong, and enough washers and screws to complete the assembly. Did a couple of workouts and it held up pretty well, pull-ups, bench press, shrugs, squats. Would definitely recommend this rack!

My husband and I purchased the equipment about a month ago. The quality was not great but we were willing to make some concessions since we were paying a bit less than other racks. My biggest frustration is that the hardware was not all included and when we tried to contact the seller, they did not respond. (Via email and phone.) I had to go to the hardware store and purchase another $30+ of missing bolts to be able to finish assembling. Also - some of the hardware was in poor condition. It also has some design flaws and the parts are pretty cheap.Disappointed. Eventually we will save up for a better system.

Excellent power rack. A little wobble but nothing to be concerned about. Would recommend a good set of j-hooks to go with the rack. Took about 30 minutes with the aid of a cordless drill to assemble. Didn't want a forearm workout doing that by hand with a set of wrenches. Assembly was intuitive and well thought out.

Make sure you have a drill available to correct misalignment of holes and a rubber mallet to slam pieces together. Instructions should tell you not to tighten bolts if you have purchased accessories.. I am mostly bothered i spent this much and had to fix bad product build

I purchased this a couple months ago for the gym I'm building in my garage. I like it a lot so far, haven't gone heavy yet because I don't have more than 300lbs at present but it handles that no problem. I give it four stars because I don't like the J-hooks, I am going to replace those very soon. the thing is sturdy, presently I don't have it bolted down so there is a little wobble but nothing I would be concerned about. I am building an oly platform at present which it will end up bolted too. I know there are nicer looking racks out there but this thing will more than do the trick and the price isn't bad. You can always spray this thing and if asthetics are your main concern with gym equipment your priorities are off point.
