HulkFit Pro Series Multifunctional Adjustable Home Gym Exercise Equipment Power Cage Squat Rack with Attachments and Accessories for Bench Press, Squats, & Deadlifts - Multicolor

I read tons of reviews and I go back and forth on what would be worth more towards me. This caught my eye with the additional add-ons, and the price range. So here's my break down. Pros: Versatile, I bought separate attachments and had no problems of putting it together in that regard. It's sturdy to say the least, I feel like it wont have any give no matter what I do. (I'm 5'11 380 lbs) You can eventually add the cross cable if you plan on buying that later down the road (as I do) which not many of these power cages give that sort of option from the same manufacturer. The pull up bar in the front I was able to flip down to fit it in a tight spot which is a super pro for low ceilings. Holds up a the weight specified, and I'm not worried that I'll be injured that much compared to other racks I've used. Cons: Most of these weren't an issue at all and I'll be agreeing with others on these. Paint job, for the most part it's great, some chipped during installing, but I don't care because it's meant to be used not to be an art showcase, so deal with it, assuming your buying this to work out in, it'll be fine. 2 of the yellow posts were bent, but I took a vice grip and unbent it. I built it standing up like the video, I would also agree with someone on here that said build it on its side, its a lot easier. Also build it in a place close to or where you want it, because its not really moveable for one person, if you dont have smooth flooring. The wrenches provided might be a little sharp, they work well, but I would suggest if you have a socket wrench, use it with a size 17 socket, makes the job a lot more easier and smoother. Misc. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS: Place safety bars in first then tighten everything, they are moveable but I would understand not doing this might not straighten out the entirety of the rack as it should, this should not affect your purchase because they're easily moveable after placed and tightened. OVERALL: It's a great rack for what it's worth. They could've done slightly better jobs on maybe the wielding but I'm not going to complain about it because its great nevertheless, they could of easily marked this thing up to the 700-1000 price range in my opinion, and from what I saw it was originally $299 for both the lat pull down attachment and the power rack. I paid around $420 at the time of writing this. One Additional thing: LUBE UP YOUR EQUIPMENT, if you purchased the lat pull down attachment, it might have a rough time for the roller pins to do an effective job, gyms lube up their equipment and you should too. I used baby oil, and it still seems slick, but I would prefer actual gym lube. This skeptic feels like he made a great purchase.

Pakage was good but posts were all scratched and customer service said to paint it. The 2 straps that came with it were too short, pointless for having a 550$ rack. They send replacement straps but when it arrived, i hade to pay 30$ of import charges. Cheap product and cheap company Update: I finaly received replacement straps after 4 weeks

With the current worldwide pandemic crisis and subsequent gym closures I feared that I would lose all the gains I worked so hard for. I had some bars and weights (from the 80's) at home, so I began to attempt some workouts on my back patio, even though I lacked a bench or a squat rack. I went shopping online for these products only to find virtually everything sold out. I finally came across the Hulkfit Power Cage which was still available (and at a reasonable price) through Amazon. I read virtually all the reviews not only at Amazon, but at other sites as well. Most reviews were positive. Some reviews complained about misfitting parts (bent parts, safety bars holes not lining up, making the bars difficult to install) . After I felt satisfied that the positive reviews outweighed the negative ones, I decided to place my order. I paid a little more than some of the cheapest quotes provided by some reviewers, but it was an acceptable amount. I then had to select a delivery "appointment" (the shipping was being managed by a logistics company). I then became concerned that the order would take an inordinate amount of time to ship (Amazon had banners warning that because of the pandemic, they would need to prioritize some essential orders, which could mean delays). I also found a bench on Amazon (made by another company as the Hulkfit bench was not available). Nevertheless within 24 hours I received confirmation that my Hulkfit order had shipped, and was provided tracking information. Through tracking the shipment, I learned that my shipment had arrived in my hometown two days (coming from Washington state all the way to North Carolina) after my order date. Nevertheless, my delivery appointment was scheduled for 5 days later, so I had to wait. The delivery company rescheduled my order from the morning (which I had requested) to the afternoon which I accepted. Sure enough I received the shipment as scheduled (I agreed that they could leave the box in the driveway in front of my house) and I managed to get that box (which was incredibly heavy) to the back of the house (where I planned to assemble it). I should note that I received the bench (which was shipped by another company) the same day. The next morning I began to open and unbox the rack in preparation for assembly. I should note that the item was incredibly securely packed and I arrived without any damage to the rack. Upon inspection, I was delighted at the robust construction of each component. The rack appears to be made out of 14-guage steel (by my calculations). The safety bars, J-hooks and chin-up bars are heavy and substantial. Even though I am very mechanically inclined, I made a couple mistakes in the initial assembly (the included instructions, provided only pictures, no text), but I lost little time in correcting my mistakes. From reading all the reviews, I learned that a few prior reviewers had problems with lining up the holes in the rack (which made installing the safety bars difficult or impossible) which could be attributable to their mistake of tightening all the bolts before they installed the bars. Hulkfit did provided an advisory sheet in the instructions to leave all the bolts a little loose until the safety bars are installed. I followed that advice. Hulkfit provided enough bolts (the nuts are the "Nylock" type, which prevents loosening when used - a nice touch). Finally, my squat cage was completely assembled. I did find two very slight problems: 1) - one of the J-Hooks required some slight grinding (on one of the side plates) in order to fit and 2)- on the left side, despite the fact that I did install the safety bars prior to tightening all the bolts, I had some problem with the holes not lining up perfectly (this appears to be attributable to the rear vertical support beam twisting slightly when the bolts were tightened), but I am still able to install that safety bar with a little extra push. On final inspection, I was impressed with the sturdiness of the rack. It was actually more substantial in structure than the squat rack I use at the commercial gym. It is slightly smaller that the commercial rack, but that is actually an advantage, as space is limited at my house (I am 6'/225 lbs and the rack is plenty large for me). It's also attractive with its yellow and black color scheme. The next few days, I used the rack for benching, squatting and chin-ups. I was delighted at the stability of the rack. I'm in my 60's, so the maximum weights I use are around 270 in the squat, 225 in the bench. The rack appears capable to handle much heavier weights The holes are about 4" (center to center), 3" (edge to edge) but I had no problem finding appropriate heights for the J-hooks, safety and dip bars. I find that the dip bars are perfectly positioned for dips, pushups, etc. for me. Surprisingly, despite it's heaviness and sturdiness, it is possible (and not too difficult) to move the rack across the floor if needed (which is an advantage for me on my somewhat crowded sheltered rear patio). Overall, I am delighted with my new rack (I feel that I got more than my money's worth) and I look forward to years of hard training at home.

2x2 steel, not sturdy. Paint fades off rapidly. poor quality attachments.

Overall, the rack/cage is very good. I gave it 4 stars for some of the things that I'm sure made it a less expensive option; it is a bit hard to be too critical given the price point. In terms of value, it is as good as it gets. First, the assembly is pretty easy, but you really need to have your own wrenches. The included wrenches are about 5 inches long and you couldn't possibly tighten the bolts enough to get full stability using them. They are also open ended, which means a great chance for skinned knuckles. If you don't have them already, you need at least one longer 17mm wrench. Once you get to a certain point, the second wrench doesn't need to be that strong to hold the bolt from turning while you tighten the nut. The main reason you need a longer wrench is that the fit of the vertical posts around the beams that run front to back is loose by about 1/16-3/32 of an inch. If you used only the included wrenches, you'd never get it tight enough to take that gap up and end up with nothing really applying force to the beam, allowing it to rack front to back a fair bit. If you use a much longer wrench, you can tighten the nut enough to pull that gap closed resulting in pretty much zero racking motion front to back. Because there are flanges on the cross member beams, including the pullup bar, you don't have that problem left to right. However, the finished cage does flex left to right slightly when assembled because the flanges for the cross members are oriented front to back, not vertically. The wiggling is minimal but noticeable; it is not dangerous. If you really want a rack that can't wiggle at all, you probably have to spend a lot more. I plan to add some vertical gussets to the corners which should eliminate the wiggling, so if you are handy with a welder and can make your own brackets, it should be easy to make this cage as solid as any other. The other thing that I rated this cage 4 stars for is the lack of an included bracket for holding plates. The cage is pretty stable, but some low weight at the back provided by plate storage would really make it stay put during pullups. I have not had any problems with any of the parts. Others have reported the holes not lining up front to back, but mine line up perfectly. There is about 8 inches above the rack to the ceiling in a home with 8 foot tall ceilings, maybe a little less than ideal for a pullup but definitely doable. The feet are pretty nice and I haven't noticed the rack moving around much. Again, with weight on it, it would not go anywhere. Overall a very good rack and I think I would buy it again.
