Diophros Barbell Power Rack, Adjustable Squat Stand with J-Hooks, Multifunction Exercise Power Tower Squat Rack & Power Cage

Won’t bore you with a long review. So here’s the deal from someone who purchased for a light commercial and professional boutique gym.1. Purchase this knowing it’s NOT the industrial, bullet proof Rack at your local gym. I have 2 industrial ones inside my gym. Night and day. But I knew this going into it. Not a commercial unit. But can operate lightly and guided as one.2. It is easy to assemble, say 20-30 minutes if you’re just taking your time inspecting everything. Something I generally enjoy doing. And for good reason of building it by the book and safely.3. The metal and finish is meh..But that’s ok. It’s for working out. Gonna get scratches and nicks. But more so, if you drop a weight on it, it will dent. Hence it’s a lightweight rack. One person could lift it and Carry it away.4. Sturdy? Again meh...in some lifts. Sturdy enough to risk my liability insurance. I have sandbags on mine for extra precaution due to a clientele that depends on it staying upright. Might drill braces into the concrete for it. I don’t think it’ll topple in basic lifts, but it moves if you rack it somewhat forcefully.5. Looks pretty. Quite attractive. Lots of compliments. Yes, I chose this one on its good looks and reviews. So far so good.6. The J hooks are a bit thin and the locking system seems decent. I don’t imagine this thing will occupy a serious body Builders lifts. This is for general fitness folks who lift moderately or even novice. Buts important you understand how these racks are designed to work most efficiently. 6. The additional attachments for inverted rows and dips are excellent choices. Turning it into a power tower is a huge plus, making it quite versatile in a smaller setting. I put mine outside to extend our gym For outdoor social distancing training. Brilliant!7. Pull up bar is awesome. Various hand positioning.8. You may need to constantly check it more often just to remain familiar with any issues that may occur. I recommend doing this with anything that could potentially hurt you if not paying attention.9. It’s a great size. Not too big, nor too small. It leaves enough space In and around it to get a well rounded workout.10. The locking system is solid enough, and the unit is balanced so your bar should stay in place when unloading one side. I don’t really like to test this sort of thing.So in summary. It’s a good package for the price. If you’re familiar with building and using a rack for squats, bench press etc. , it'll be fun and useful. Just don’t abuse it like the one at your local gym.

This was pretty expensive when I bought it but it was the middle of the pandemic.It was pretty easy to assemble. Took me less than an hour to put together.Materials are very light and because of that it is not as stable as one would want it to be.The j-hooks are a little on the flimsy side and have no plastic protection on them, so don’t drop you barbell on the j-Hooks as it will be a metal on metal impact hitting each other and when that happens there is always the chance that a shard of metal can fly off. Something to consider specially when you are bench pressing and your head is below the level of the J-hooks.I guess my biggest complaint is the crossbar on the back that is about 8-10 inches off the ground. It gets in the way of the bench of doing inclined bench presses as you have to push the bench a bit back.Overall, good rack fo beginners or if you are not doing much weights.It looks like it is not available under this brand but aware I see this same rack under other brands.

We considered several factors before deciding on a rack. In terms of price, size, and setup, this was our top pick, and it has worked so far. It says it's good for over 800lb. but it doesn't feel THAT sturdy. We have only tried about 225lb. so far, and are hoping it's good for at least double that. We picked this one because of its shape and the way it has lean support from the back. It is not too huge considering it's an entire rack, and it fits well where we put it. The customer service is good and they want to make their customers happy, which we are. Overall, this was a good buy for all that it comes with. We will update our review if necessary after going heavier on it.

I ordered this half rack because I don't have a lot of room and the price was nice.. It would have gotten 5 stars, but the shipping was poor. They did give a $15 discount for the delay. It took 2 weeks longer than the expected arrival and then came in two separate boxes three days apart. It was pretty easy to assemble and it seems as advertised. Perfect for my 72in bar. I did some pull-ups (207lbs) and it didn't move much. Threw about 250lbs on the bar and it was stable.

I just finished assembling this power rack. It came in two boxes weighing about 30 pounds each. It took me one hour to assemble using both the wrenches provided and a ratcheting wrench.Overall the quality is good. Fits perfectly in a fourth bedroom. I’ve also been able to attach a tricep pulldown to the pull up crossbar. The lower cross brace is a good place to use resistance bands for lat pulls. I have to place weights on the bottom to stabilize or it can topple.

I like that I can do some many workouts, I didn’t like that the rack is not stable be careful if you use a trx or when you use the pull up bar I had some plates on top At the bottom for stability and that works, If you don’t that thing can flip. The handle support for the bar is not sturdy the can hold maybe 300lbs but if you drop it they might bent really bad.

I've had it for a while already. Using it at home - mini home gym. The rack is perfect. I would give it 6 stars. Really don't understand why so many bad reviews. It may be not as solid as a full-fledged commercial one, but in any case I will never get to the weights that this would be a problem. For a home gym this rack is ideal.

As we all SIP, this was great for support of work out at home. Easy to put together, but it did took a long time for shipment to come in. Packages came in different days so wasn't able to put all together at once. Worth the wait and money spend
