We DROPPED Over 800 LB On The Cheapest Rack You Can Buy

[@GlucksGym]

What should we destroy next?

[@rodolfomedini9931]

I don't think you'll destroy it but I'd be interested in seeing a drop from the titan T2 for a comparison side to side... If anything I predict a slight bend in the pipe safeties but I think it will still be a completely useable rack... This is a great reason why you should rely on reviews over what the manufacturer iclaims. Materials, design, and build quality matter who wants a rack so poorly designed you can't bench inside and if you fail may break? This rack was so poorly designed which is enough to stay away but the choice of material and the lying about the guage steel is even more reason to run away. When running away look less scared than Adrian did here.

[@skylab2442]

Try the balance from trap bar

[@Jason_Cade]

I have the t2 with extension, lat pulldown, and pretty much every other attachment they sell for it lol. I absolutely love it! I’m curious to see a drop test on it, but I don’t wanna use mine 😂 it’s the only rack I have .

[@pwprochazka]

Do a Clean test on cheaper bars where the weight is dropped from chest hight. How do they hold up to being dropped with weight over and over before the collars come apart. Second test is how many you can do before you crack and come apart. :)

I was just here for the destruction and was rewarded with epic destruction.

[@fwiffo42]

Very entertaining video! The drink was never in danger, thanks to Massenomics. Wynie and the toad was an instant classic. I really appreciated the multiple camera angles on the drop. Finally, all those treadmill reviews have given Adrian a fast gear when he needs to run from 825 lbs crashing to earth.

[@GlucksGym]

hahaha thank you! The toad and Wynie really stole the show.

[@brucewillis7135]

​@@GlucksGymwould you recommend the bells of steel hydra power rack? Do you have any experience with it.

[@GlucksGym]

I was the first to see it when we went to their HQ and also the first to review it. We have two dedicated vids on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYPHm31-eqyreZI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppS8gJ-setqkbNE it's a solid rack. Essentially a clone of the RML. Rogue's rack is nicer but it's more expensive and functionally the same. Bells attachments are much cheaper but there's a few like their rollers that I don't like.

Wow! Didn't expect it to buckle that badly. This one was definitely worth the wait. You two did the world a service, putting that phoney rack out of it's misery. On the other hand, those are now some very kinky uprights. With that level of kink they should now fit right in with y'all 😉

[@brianhopkins5251]

[@1bliss3]

[@martystrasinger3801]

My home cage is a Body-Solid GPR378 that I got at a local fitness store for about $500. The steel is the as-listed 11 gauge and just shy of 3 inches (round down to metric equivalent). Does well for me, since few racks will fit in my basement due to the ceiling height. The 3 inch hole spacing requires an occasional workaround, but the actual one & 3/8” holes perfectly accept a one inch piece of black iron plumbing from the hardware store enabling me to make my own attachments. I discarded the main safety rails that came with (heavy-duty but clumsy to move) and instead use the mentioned 1” plumbing with lengths of 1” cold-rolled steel hammered down the length of them.

[@rdmckeever7645]

That was fun. Those stall mat scraps would make nice tops for some DIY pulling blocks (after the ants are removed)...

[@runiniscrazy]

What would be cool, a more accurate use test and probably a bit of nightmare to design would be a test that dynamically dropped weight from 2 inches onto the j cups but 100 times. Usually there's welds on the j cups and in theory the metal next to weld should be the weakest point.

[@tomjones8235]

Coop did something like this a couple of years ago with a somewhat better rack. If I recall correctly the rack more or less held up to the drop but the bar bent.

[@GlucksGym]

That was the Fitness Reality 810 XLT. I mention our review of it in this video, it's the clip where I'm dropping the bar off my back with more and more weight

[@tomjones8235]

@@GlucksGym So you did, but I was thinking of the Garage Gym Reviews segment from about two years ago when Coop dropped a bar onto the safeties of an Amazon rack (Dropping 700+ LB Bar on Cheapest Amazon Squat Rack!). It held up better than the rack in this segment.

[@mikepappas2358]

I think that if this rack had safety pins rather than safety straps, it would’ve also held up better.

[@mikebond]

@@GlucksGymif you still have that fitness reality maybe you can replicate this test in that and see the difference. As an owner of the fitness reality…super interested in seeing another test of it!

@@GlucksGym just imploded. So.... I guess at least the manufacturer got something right?

[@jeffbrewster4024]

I wonder of that would have held up to let's say 225lb drop. I have a rack that is basically the same as this one and I was planning on upgrading at the point that I am using 225lbs on the rack. I bought the rack knowing that I'm an absolute beginner and as such likely unable to damage the rack. Mine has the steel bar for safeties which I feel would fair better. If these racks are cheap enough you could maybe make a case for them for beginners?

[@bigk2080]

[@kramkalisthenics]

Good job getting your arm up before that 800 lb. gorilla attacked you. LOL

[@ElijahG98]

Lmao this makes the other $200 amazon rack look so good. My question is, do the straps actually raise the chance of the rack bending like that? The other tests I've seen have the rod safeties. Which got bent, but the rack didnt bend. The strap safeties pull inward. Not that it really matters because I cant squat 800lb's so I'm not going to bail an 800lb squat and bend my rack.

[@GlucksGym]

I think they do. The pin pipe safeties would distribute the load differently whereas the straps transfer it directly to the uprights.

[@GlucksGym]

I think probably not...?

[@GarageGymLifeMedia]

I've shared this video so many times I can't even remember! Waaay too many people tell me they don't need a rack that can handle a lot of weight because they'll "never be able to lift that much" and I always say that's not the point. Great video!

[@DrDoke]

Actually it showed that the cheap flimsy rack would have saved your life. The test was as if someone was performing a squat and had a catastrophic failure such as knee blowout or something. The rack and safeties stopped the barbell from crushing that person as they fell to the ground.

[@GlucksGym]

@DrDoke no it unfortunately didn't. The ground stopped the plates. The rack crumpled.

[@ndisney1]

Skip to 7:15 and save yourself the time.

[@kellymurillo7188]

I'm curious what would have happened if the bar was a higher tensile strength and the straps were higher. Lower tensile strength bar absorbed some of the forces from the drop...right? I haven't studied engineering in about 15 years since college.

[@GlucksGym]

The bar would have probably ended up bent but not nearly as bad as this one did. A better bar would've been more stiff and probably would have murdered the rack even more.

[@JustSheilz]

That buckle!

[@GlucksGym]

Wish the straps were higher, that thing would've folded right in half.

[@fwiffo42]

Comment before the drop: I think it’s going to fold in half like a taco.

[@fwiffo42]

Credit where it’s due: those safety straps held on for dear life. That rack is a hazard. Even 200 lb dropping on there would be dicey based on this test. And if you had repeated drops, it would just be a matter of time before the frame failed or the threads wore out the straps.

[@GlucksGym]

You were so right. I got caught up in trying to film and really died on my prediction.

[@mjbodeau562]

If no one has suggested it, I'd be interested in you testing this rack again, this time starting with bare bar and building the plates/weight up to see what's the lowest weight where the rack fails. Maybe that would get some Amazon and seller attention.
