CAP Barbell Power Racks and Attachments

I purchase this for my TRX Suspension Trainer. So, I modified it to bolt onto my TRX PRO 4 Straps. The way the picture looks like I just made sure the handles were upright. OMG, the way I modified the Parabody weight lifting rack is super sturdy now. I needed them to be at least 7 feet and it is now.

Excellent product, I was looking for a pull up bar for my home for very long time and this one is the best that I have, better than I excepted. Easy installation, great colors, supports weight so good, I can practice calisthenics muscle ups and dips at the top, very firm, and also excellent option for chest

First, there is confusion about whether this rack can handle 300 or 500 lbs. The answer is it depends on what model you purchase. At the time of my purchase, the black model was model 705 and cost $85 while the others are model 905 and cost $120. The 905 does support 500/750 lbs. The 705 is 300/300. If you want more than 300lbs as described in the page pictures make sure you pick the color you want and check that the item description section bellow the pictures says 905 as the model. This review is for the 905 models. The rack was easy to assemble. It took me 45 minutes to get it finished and all holes lined up. There were some scratches in the finish. I can't tell if they were made during manufacturing or shipping but they don't affect the overall look or function. The frame feels solid and well made even though it is just under 70lbs. This is impressive given that this will handle 500lbs in a bar. The pullup bar also feels "safe" and the frame doesn't shake much when used. The unit has the option to be bolt down if needed. For $120 and able to handle 500lbs, this is a great entry-level or for an experienced lifter who wants something with a low profile and doesn't want to be limited to 300lbs. Now to the things I didn't like and why it is 4 stars and not 5. The weight catches feel well-engineered but they have no padding or protection against the bar. The paint will be flaking off easily if a bar with texture is used. As others have done, I recommend adding some thin carpet of rubber so that the finish is protected. Don't put something too thick or slippery though as that will make it less safe. The adjustment holes are well placed but are 1/2 inch. This is making finding accessories almost impossible. Other manufacturers of similar models have spotter arms and replacement catches as well as a weight holding arms available. While not perfect, this is still a great buy for the price and will do the job. I recommended it.

I bought this a bit hesitant of the reviews but so far I’m extremely satisfied with it. Im about 5’11, 215 lbs and am able to do pull ups just fine with a bit of a bend of the legs. Some people reported it to be wobbly which I will say it is does move when you try to re-rack the weight too aggressively at the end of a set. However that can be easily resolved by just adding a weight on the bottom. On one of the corners there’s a post to slide your plates so just add a plate there and that wobble goes away. It was pretty easy to set up. Out the package it might look a bit intimidating but it’s quite simple. I’ve been using it everyday and it’s going strong. For the price, I think it’s worth the money.

This is a decent rack! I don’t bench more than 45lb plates on each side of the barbell so for me it works great! I’m so happy I don’t have to wait around at the gym anymore for weights. Without weights it doesn’t feel a hundred percent sturdy but once you store plates on it, it doesn’t move :) I was also able to hang from the top bar and it held me up great and I weigh 200lbs. It’s a nice rack and it’s nice to look at! One side of the rack has storage for weights and the other side is to store your barbell. Ease of assembly? Idk because my dad built it but he did it himself with no complaints :)

Amazing for price. As long as you have some weights on it it can handle heavy weights. Most i have dumped onto it so far was 405 and it held fine. But that was with over 100 lbs of kettlebells weighing it down. Best thing is i dont have to deal with the half naked weirdos and ‘influencers’ at the gym anymore.

The base unit itself seems pretty decent, but the pictures show that it has posts on each side for weight storage. The actual main picture on Amazon shows weight storage posts on both sides. When I actually get the product, it comes with one weight plate storage post, and another post that I thought must have been the wrong part. It turns out that unlike the product image on here, it has a weight bar storage on the right hand side. This is utterly stupid, because whenever you store weight plates you're gonna want an even distribution. If you don't have an even distrubution the unit's gonna be incredibly unstable. If you put any horizontal force WHAT SO EVER the unit tips over. So I called CAP Barbel. Automated voice mail NO ONE ANSWERING PHONE EVER. The voicemail says to email them. I email them. They get back to me 3-4 days later and tell me I have the right part.. Long story short they say I can order the part from them for $9 .. I fill out the Credit Cart authorization form and mail it back. A week goes by I hear nothing. I email them. Another 4 days go by nothing. I email them demanding a response. I get a reply "We're still trying to locate it in our warehouse." I say thanks for the update.. Another week goes by nothing, I email asking for an update. Nothing.. It has been over a month or more maybe even two months since I ordered this. I still cannot use it. Recently I decided on a DIY solution-- Found some 2" diameter furniture feet on here that have a screw hole in the bottom. Got them, with slight modification they work. Go to Home Depot. They don't have a good supply of screws of the damn right size because it's metric. I get the longest they got. This morning realize they're too short. Who knows what.. 2 months? Longer after my purchase, I can't use the god damn thing that I paid $100 for. CAP has one that costs $200 that has weight plate posts on both sides but again, does it really? This one had the damn picture of two and it only has one. Amazon has a 30 day return policy. Do the math. I wasted my money. Bought the wrong product. CAP barbell's customer service is fricken garbage. Super dissatisfied customer. Now instead of going to Kung Fu I'm headed to Loews to see if they have 3" bolts in the right size so I can finally use the product that I bought ages ago and CAP was NO GOD DAMN HELP WHATSOEVER. Never buying another product from CAP barbell unless I know 100% from seeing the god damn thing in person that it's what I need, and I will never have to speak to the manufacturer. From what I can tell: Decent product. Complete piece of trash customer support.

This is OK. Not great but OK. The assembly was difficult as no instructions were included. Also it’s just SLIGHTLY tilted after assembly. Doesn’t feel too wobbly for pull-ups (which is what I’m using it for, and I’m about 185 lbs). I don’t plan on returning it, but it was a chore to put together (different bolt sizes, difficult to know exactly which go where, an Alan wrench is included but you DEFINITELY will want a socket set or some wrenches to help).
