I'm glad you call out that there's a lot of these smaller companies that selling the exact same imported products. The products themselves are fine but I think is a segment of the home gym market that could stand a little bit of consolidation. We don't need several companies selling not similar products but the EXACT same products

I went REP as well, I feel its higher quality/customer service and it allows for greater customization (e.g. colors like clear coat, you can choose the rack and cable attachments you want, etc.). I also managed to squeeze the Bulletproof Fitness VTS on the back post as a smith machine and so far I love it (I got the individual handles so I can do deficit presses).

I bought the Bolt Warlord a year ago this month. It is in my non-climate controlled garage. It does look bad ass in person. The instructions left a bit to be desired, but I got it done. The pull up bar is nice. This is definitely a “metric” 3x3 rack. My two pin accessories from Prime Fitness (USA 3x3) don’t fit-1-pin accessories only. The powder coat is definitely low-tier as coop mentioned. Anywhere where the powder coat is thin has rusted. The inside of all of the beams are rusted because there is no powder coat or it was so thinly applied. I regret not spending the extra for Rep, but I regret, even more, for not spending the extra for Rogue or Prime. If you have this in your house, no big deal. If it’s in a garage, buy once/cry once and go USA made.

Coop, what's the width of it? It's much more important than number of holes. Try to squat with your one rep max and you'll see that you can't step out ideally on the center. And if you're not centered you will crush into safety bars by the plates. By the way the safety bars should be higher than you set them up.

I just bought my first rack and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm almost 100% positive it's from the same mystery manufacturer as the Bolt Warlord, but with sone monitor differences. I went with the Iron Strength USA GT-86. Price was the biggest determine factor in my decision (especially since they have sales reps selling them new on FB marketplace below retail costs) but 2nd biggest factor for me was the dual 250 lb weight stacks at a 1:1 ratio. I e noticed a few short comings after using it for a few weeks, but I'm still very satisfied with my choice. I'm very curious about what your thoughts by comparison would be.
