I just wanted to point out that in the picture of the Cap Power Rack the man is demonstrating a squat set up. He is behind the bar getting ready to walk forward. I do the same thing in this video and you can see when it comes time to reset the bar it torques the shoulder and can cause you to lose balance. I recommend facing the rack, loading, stepping back to do your squat and then walking forward to place your bar back on the rack. Hope that makes sense.

Just posted this and then saw your post so I deleted it lol

[@melissahouse1296]

Such a helpful review, im only a little taller & heavier so this should meet all my needs. Thanks : )

[@khalid.y]

I've read that you can order another weight peg (part #9) and install it instead of the barbell holder. (I just bought this; my plan to install neither the weight holder nor the barbell holder, and instead anchor it down with some filing cabinets already in our basement...). Also, for pull-ups and dips, you may want to invest in some gymnastic rings. Easier on the wrists for pull-ups, since they rotate, and better than TRX for dips. Plus, since you're 5', should be easier to reach while still giving you ground clearance - ideal for weighted pull-ups. Vulken has an inexpensive slotted strap kit that comes with both gymnastic rings and TRX-style handles.

[@faithb4fitness477]

Thank you for the info!

[@sirtfyd]

where can you order the other weight peg from? I've checked online and can't find individual parts anywhere

[@dasqussy4540]

If you are buying this in 2020 just an FYI they made a newer model for this rack that holds 500 lbs not 300

[@denisng7423]

Thanks for the honest review, especially on it still being wobbly. There are a few reviews on youtube saying it's 100% stable, and when pull ups were perform it was wobbling!

[@joani2732]

Hi thanks for the review I just bought it and my barbell does fit on the attachment perfectly it actually has a little play it is a cap Olympic barbell I wouldn't think that makes a difference.

[@briand5047]

That barbell holder in the back is the reason I'm leaning towards the Hulkfit squat rack since there are 2 plate holders and no barbell holder. I want weight on both sides for suspension training.

[@faithb4fitness477]

We’ve had it in this same spot for 4 years! I’m considering bolting it into the floor so I can use my suspension trainer with it.

[@briand5047]

@@faithb4fitness477 You can also bolt up into a board as a lifting platform instead of bolting down into the floor. I'd rather do that. The other option I considered on a Cap rack is a weight peg low on the upright on each side and/or a sand bag near that barbell holder.

[@eddiediandre86]

This is a good rack. I'm 6'3 250 and I am able to do pull ups on it no problem. I have also loaded it with 380 lbs for squads and it hasn't broken down. I probably shouldn't put that much weight on it though as it is only rated for 300 lbs but for $100 bucks it was worth a risk.

[@superhumanfitness9369]

i squated 650 on this rack in a power lifting meet its strong

[@dasqussy4540]

Holy shit, first off that’s impressive and second off I thought they used crappy squat stands in power lifting meets

[@MrJgonzalez09]

Just bought mine wish me luck

[@LeBronBoxing4Life]

how wide is this? can a 6 foot barbelle wotk on this?

[@faithb4fitness477]

We use an Olympic bar and it also holds an ez curl bar. It’s 47 inches.

[@LeBronBoxing4Life]

@@faithb4fitness477 if i use a barbell that is 6 feet but the inside is 48 inch Th@t work?

[@tobydavis5673]

Is the top pull up bar adjustable? I’m looking for a bar that I can do muscle ups on as well as pull ups. I’ve been looking at a Solostrength pull up system, but can’t afford it.

[@faithb4fitness477]

No

[@Undeadly.]

How do you you feel about it after having it for over a year now? Any new issues arise?

[@faithb4fitness477]

Still love it.

[@bradburywhitney]

May seem silly, but I'm looking for a ~$100 option to hold my yogabody trapeze. I'm trying to steer clear of the $200-500 price range of the yogabody stand or the KT stand. In your opinion, do you think this would be stable enough for a 230lb person using a yogabody trapeze? I already have the doorway bar but am not comfortable with that option.

[@faithb4fitness477]

I’ve seen someone review it on amazon for that purpose. I’m comfortable doing ab rollouts with my TRX, but I also stack a bunch of weight plates on the peg to stabilize it. Other people have bolted the rack to their floor or their wall.

[@dasqussy4540]

I’ve seen a guy who is 6’5 and 210 pounds use this with no issues so if you are that size there is no problem

[@HairySYNC]

Thank for the review. Excellent 👍

[@dieu-huyentran5185]

Thanks for great review Do you what’s the exact diameter of the pull up bar? On other Amazon replies from users, they gave out different diameter sizes of the bar so it’s quite confusing. I got fairly small hand so want make sure. Thanks ahead.

[@faithb4fitness477]

I measured a string and it’s about 4.5 inches.

[@dieu-huyentran5185]

Hello thank you Faith. Very nice of you! 4.5 /3.1416 = 1.43 so it’s probably about 1.5 inch rounded off

[@CityofPurps916]

What kind of suspension trainer is that?

[@evantan6]

Is it possible to deadlift with this? The product highlights claim it perfect for deadlifts, but I do not see any platform to cushion the ground.

[@faithb4fitness477]

I’ve never thought to use it for deadlifts. I use it for bent over rows and over head presses by placing the pegs in higher and lower locations on the rack. I’ve also used it for inverted rows and weighted bridges.

[@faithb4fitness477]

We do use it now for deadlifts. You can place the bar on the lower pegs so if you’re not ready to use a plate that’s large enough to raise the bar far enough off of the floor, you can start your lift from the peg.

[@mingjae7309]

Hi, can the hook distance suitable for a 5 and 6feet straight barbell bar, or just for a olympic size bar? Thx 4 a nice video review btw.

[@faithb4fitness477]

Ming Jae I just used an ez curl bar today with one plate in each side and the clamps. I put it on the third notch from the bottom and used it with my bench for hip thrusts.

[@jonathanthao5565]

I’ve had over 500lb on my cap rack, and it’s still standing😂😂😂

[@ferfe7928]

Great video! Thanks!

[@ralunger]

hi. im planning to buy this rack from outside the USA. do you know the package dimensions (L x W x H) when you received it? i just want to know how much will i pay for the shipping fee. tnx!

[@faithb4fitness477]

Sorry, I don't remember the dimensions.

[@pbh07]

Would it be possible to perform kipping pullups or muscle ups on this?

[@faithb4fitness477]

Paris Harper I do kipping toes to bar on this rack with no problems.

[@mc-130h]

Is it fine to put on carpet?

[@faithb4fitness477]

We’ve had it on carpet for 4 years.

[@caseyjeanchapman]

thank you for doing this review! I was looking at this rack as a place to use my suspension trainer and yoga swing, but I never thought of using it as a ballet barre. that's ingenious! I have a rather small heavy bag and a wonder if it would be sturdy enough to hang that from as well or if it would just wobble out of control.

[@faithb4fitness477]

I've never tried a bag. How heavy is it and I can try to figure it out.

[@bradburywhitney]

Asked above, but, did you end up purchasing this and if so, how did the yoga swing work? Did it wobble as you were using it for such?

[@darkknight6703]

Can you lower the pull up bar?

[@faithb4fitness477]

No.

[@johnnylira3312]

Weight capacity on this is 300lb.

[@Roberto-lc6yz]

hello, do you ever notice bending of the bear with that fitness gear olympic barbell set from dicks sporting goods? I'm considering buying it. Thanks for the video, just bought that barbell power rack!!

[@faithb4fitness477]

Nothing has been bending yet.

[@faithb4fitness477]

I have not had any bending yet and my kids and I constantly forget to remove the bar after workouts.

[@tim8942]

Mega Man..beat ya to her 20 years ago💍🎤👇✌️

[@TheNezfamily]

That wasn’t a squat ..don’t know what that was💁🏾‍♂️

[@faithb4fitness477]

You’re right. Back when I made this video I was very new to working out with a barbell. Also, my squat form was terrible. Since then, I’ve become certified as a corrective fitness specialist with NASM. During the live course, I learned that I have anterior pelvic tilt and tight quads. After a few months of working through a corrective exercise sequence I can honesty say my squat form has completely improved. As a personal trainer, helping others to improve their squat form is one of my main goals. Personally, I’ve consistently used this rack three times per week. It’s holding up just fine and I’m gaining muscle and strength.

[@TheNezfamily]

FaithB4Fitness 👍🏾 nice. I was thinking about purchasing this particular rack...but we are getting extra covid19 cash, so im getting a titan fitness half rack when the air clears. Should do another squat demonstration video and do a comparison.
