I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
Yes, you sure can! prxperformance.com/products/3x3-dip-station-attachment?variant=33017806094420
One of the best things I have ever purchased. I have zero regrets. cost a pretty penny but the pro blue looks so good.
Great to hear it and we're happy to have you in the PRx family!
Solid work, team!

Ours is being delivered tomorrow we plan on drilling into a concrete wall. Is that ok?
@@mmchesnick07 It is OK! We've had plenty of customers install into concrete. You will need to pick up your own hardware as we only supply hardware to mount to wooden studs. We recommend wedge or shield anchors, as well as tapcon screws! Reach out to us via our website if you have any more questions 👍 prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
@@prxperformance Thank you!
My garage wall has a stud box to close the gap in the wall height to the next room which makes my 16” stud spacing fall apart. It doesn’t even have 24” stud spacing. Can I go higher than 19” for the bottom bracket as long as I maintain the spacing from the top bracket? I need to go up 30” from the garage floor. In my head it would just make the rack slightly closer to the wall when it’s in the down position.

The instruction manual and this video attach the kipping bar differently. Should the kipping bars be parallel with each other or angled?
Since this video, our Kipping Bar was redesigned. The 2 bars should be parallel! Contact us here if you need further help! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
@@prxperformance What’s the advantage of the redesign? The different heights seems useful for my wife to reach. Was the older/angled design less stable or did it interfere with certain movements? 3:56
What size and type of screws are used for the top and bottom brackets, to screw into the wall?
We provide lag bolts to install into the wooden studs! Contact our team here if you have further questions regarding install or hardware 👍 prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
What determines the 9' (108") recommended height for the 90" rack? Is that for head / torso clearance for kipping pullups / Bar muscle ups? My garage is 103" floor to ceiling, so it would be just a bit short. I'm 5'10", and Bar MU isn't necessary but I would like to be able to practice butterfly or kipping pullups.
9' is the height needed to fold up a 90" rack! If it's a shorter space, we can make things work. Folded out, you'd be at 90" and have 28" above the bar (23" for your 103" ceiling). You'll totally be able to do butterfly and kipping pull ups. I am 6ft and performed those movements in our Pull Up Bar Video. Also, for the 103" space, a 90" rack will work just fine! Follow page 12 in the instruction manual for your specific install solution 👍
@@prxperformance Makes sense! Thank you for the detailed reply.
@@jon4097 some guy here on UA-cam just barely moved the top rack. I just watched his video
Great to know my garage measurements are same 103” from floor to ceiling .
The right upright is just a hair off the ground when deployed. As by suggestion?
Check the levelness of the wall brackets and double check all wall bracket measurements...it could also be that the shocks just need a little time to settle. Feel free to send photos to our team here! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
What size are the screws for the brackets into the wall? I’m looking to install it into a concrete wall and wondering if I need to make any adjustments in the install. Thanks
You'll need to select your own hardware for a concrete or brick install. We only include hardware to install into wooden studs. We recommend working with someone at a hardware store to determine what hardware will be best for your wall. Tapcons, wedge anchors or shield anchors do work best.
If I’m installing a 3/4 inch gym mat do I need to account for that when measuring the 19” distance from the floor?
Just install without the flooring and measure as you would. Once you're finished, slide the rubber flooring underneath 👍
Do I have to do the opposite of this to uninstall and move to a different wall? Or can I just unscrew from wall and out on another wall?
According to the PRX manual, the recommended spacing between spaces is 75 inches. I couldn't find any mention of 69 inches in the manual. Additionally, for a 19-inch bottom bracket, the top bracket should measure 94 inches.
Are you installing a 96" rack? The measurements are different for 90 and 96 inch racks!
@@prxperformance would've been a really good thing to mention
@@JayeL-bu9bt The very first thing he says in the video is "how to install a 90" PRO rack."
so if you mount your bottom bracket at 19.5 inches is that a big deal due to knee wall issues? thank you
Mount at the specific measurements - if you need assistance, contact us here! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
PRX, i have cinder block garage walls what do you recommend ?
Contact our team here! We recommend wedge or shield anchors or else tap con screws. prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
Does this install apply to a 90 inch PRX Pro Rack?
My ceiling is 115 inches in the garage. I was told I could purchase the 90 or 96 inch rack - I am under 6ft so figured I will get the 90 inch rack. Just want to make sure this is the correct video to use when I get it and put it up. Thanks
Yes, but you may notice your wall brackets are a little different. We just made the change so follow your paper instructions (a couple new measurements) and you’ll be good to go! With the video, we did install a 90” rack
@@prxperformance thank you just purchased PRX PRO Rack 90’
What is the 32” on either side of the rack for? Mounting the wall stands for bars, etc?
So that you have enough room to move around, load and unload plates when the bar is racked!
Just bought mine. My wall I’m mounting it on is cement. What do you recommend me drill with?
We do recommend a professional install, but we do know plenty of customers install into concrete. I would connect with a hardware specialist at a hardware or home store. They will be able to help you select the correct hardware needed!
Tapcons. 3" X 5/16" with washers will do the trick
Should I do rack pulls on my prx rack with the spotter arms or will this be bad for the bolts on wall?? I don't want them to get loose over time. I have two buldging disk so I wanna start doing rack pulls instead of deadlifts. There is someone who wants to buy it and will sell it if I can't do rack pulls on it to get rep fitness rack
You can do your rack pulls with our rack!
@@prxperformance thank u.
I'm confused - if you start with the "lower side" when installing the bracket and measure up 19 inches, won't that make it impossible to level the higher side if it is also measured up 19 inches? Shouldn't it start with the higher side and then add a rubber leveling foot to the lower side of the rack?
You can add the leveling kit or shim your rack after the install! If you're having install issues, please contact our sales and support team here! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
Is the 19” and 88” based off the top, middle, or bottom of the brackets?
You’ll want your bolt to go through at 19” and 88” 👍
@@prxperformance thanks for clarifying
As Alex states at the start, this video is for the REGULAR 90inch rack. If you use these measurements for the 96 inch rack, it wont work at the end and attach properly.
You will have to go back to square one. Or so I’ve been told 😂
Yes, the measurements are different for 96" racks!
What happens it your floor is uneven one leg is higher than the other
Great question! For these situations we have our Leveling Kit! Simple solution, but it works. prxperformance.com/products/leveling-kit?_pos=1&_psq=leveling&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Awesome thank you
69" between the 2 brackets--- between the center of the 2 brackets? or from the bottom of the top and top of the bottom (space in between should be 69")?
Top to top, middle to middle or bottom to bottom 👍
Is there an issue if the lower part of the wall is concrete And upper is drywall?
Nope, we've seen plenty of customers install in this situation! Just make sure if the concrete sticks out further that you account for that behind the top wall bracket. Basically build out so that both are flush 👍
@@prxperformance thank, that's was exactly what I was looking for
Why does the measurement between the two wall brackets have to be that specific? It doesn't matter exactly where the brackets are as long as the linkage arms for the top and the bottom are mounted parallel to each other and fold at the same angle.
The measurements between brackets will keep them in spec so that they fold at the same angle. Just being slightly off will dramatically effect the path of the rack and it won't fold correctly. There are some modifications that can be done but yes it's important for folding.
@@prxperformance the angle, the -angle- is important for folding. You can mount the lower and upper brackets wherever as long as the upper and lower bracket linkages attach to the uprights at the same angle.
@@dewafelbakkers all proper measurements are provided in the instructions. We cannot guarantee that the rack will fold properly if those measurements aren’t followed. Thanks!
what if my wall studs don’t match up with the holes?
Great question! If that is the situation, we recommend attaching a 2x6 or 2x8 stringer board that spans across 4 studs. From there, you can install your wall brackets to the stringer boards 👍
@@prxperformance Do you sell the stringers too? Stringers are an option at order time with Rogue, but I don't see it with PRx.
@@archon810 at this time, we do not offer stringers.
Where is the how to install video for low ceilings? I have an 86inch ceiling and I was told I can still install a 73Inch Prx PRO. Is there a video?
The install is essentially the same, follow your instructions and use the proper measurements on page 2 for your 86" ceiling. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0997/2134/files/PRO_Squat_Temp_Master_Rack_Install_Instructions_f6d72205-6d55-4769-b8eb-83fd191a864e.pdf?v=1640707277
@@prxperformance Thank you!
Just Installed mine. Doesn’t unfold as smoot as I wished. Any tips?
Could you send a video here? I'd recommend checking out the pivot points and possibly loosening those nuts 1/4 turn. prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
Watch this video! ua-cam.com/video/7PfIDUM2tvA/v-deo.html
What if your ceiling is not under 9ft?
Than you follow the modified install instructions on page 2 for your exact ceiling height 👍
Why do you need 32 inches on either side of the rack?
For the barbell clearance!
What if I have 24 inchew btw studs
You can still install! We have holes in the wall brackets for studs that are spaced 24” or you can install stringer boards across your studs and install into the stringer boards 👍
I'm struggling with new install. Everything is put together but it's very hard to pull from wall and rack. As if the shocks aren't working. Instructions state to adjust pivot arms. Your video is misleading because after I adjusted the pivot points, the washers are freely spinning. Is that what I should see? My pivot arms don't freely move up/down as shown on your video
Contact our team here and please send a video of what is going on with your rack and our team will assist you! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
Has anyone tried installing this with thrust bearings after the plastic bushing? It should make the motion buttery smooth
Not that we know of. We provide all of the hardware needed for install and proper operation!
Also i was told that these eventually weigh on your studs and cause damage? Not immediately but over time? Has anyone experience or noticed their screws sinking down on the stud over time?
When deployed, the weight of the rack and equipment is dispersed through the floor. Outside of that, it's the same as hanging anything else on your walls. You'll be fine! Remember, those same walls are supporting your house 👍
What if my space is only 96 inches tall? What then?
You can still install a 90" rack. In the instructions there are special measurements for shorter spaces. Use the correct measurements for a 96" space and you'll be good to go!
"The most important is the 69" between the upper and lower rack" ---- Is it ok if the bottom one is mounted slightly higher and they still have 69" between them?
The brackets cannot go up! Contact our team here if you need help fitting a rack into a certain space! We definitely have ways we can help 👍 prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
Purchase specific instructions sent via email would be great... searching multiple boxes for the instructions or youtube for the correct instructions is a bad look after i just spent $3k on a unit
What instructions are you referring to? If you're talking about a rack, they are in with the j-cups and hardware! If something didn't appear to be included, please contact us here so we can help! prxperformance.com/pages/contact-us
How would I get in touch with a professional installer? I can’t find the stud .
