It’s worth it for the street cred. I’m old and out of shape and could easily get by with a 2x2 for what I lift……..but my college kid brought some friends home and partied……….one of the guys (who was a dang monster of a kid) had to come and talk weightlifting with me! He showed me a video of him clean and pressing my deadlift max……..I almost crapped my pants! He told my kid he thought I was cool……..I’m just glad he didn’t want to fight!
I got the cheap hulk fit rack and the thing will lean one way or the other depending on which direction I’m racking into it. The mounting holes are too large and the uprights slide around inside the mounting brackets. Wishing I got a 3x3 rack now lol.
I’ve always felt like UA-cam home gym influences thought way too hard about the rack. I’ve had this rack for a couple years. I’m not the strongest. I squat over 400. Rack pull over 600 and this rack works absolutely fine with no issue. It’s just light.
@@ChrisBranleh true. This was the Pandem!c Saviour Rack It's everywhere. It's also easy to assemble/disassemble. So, buying it and bringing it home is little hassle
Bro - you’re fucking strong first of all with those numbers. I actually have the half rack version of this. I like it but slightly worried about the not so heavy duty posts. Thinking of bolting it down to concrete floor Is yours bolted down?
@@danski6694 nah i just made weight posts for it for weight storage which weighs it down. It’s also against a wall and i do all my lifts on that side so even if it rocks a little it’s against the wall. Thanks btw
If you've been waiting to buy and need a reason to move now, Walmart sells the exact same model under the name ProGear and it's on sale for $209. I just assembled mine last night and it probably took 1.5 - 2 hours by myself.
This is the rack I bought at the beginning of covid to start my home gym journey and it's stood up incredibly well. I can confirm added weight horns make a huge difference. I eventually upgraded it by getting the lat pulldown attachment, a landmine attachment, dip bars, J cups with some plastic padding, and by drilling into the top of it and mounting the titan wall mount cable machines to either side to make a poor man's functional trainer.
@@RogueCylon I've had them set up for over 2 years at this point. I use them a few times a week. Generally not more than 80 or 90 lbs on it. Everything has held up very well. The only sign of wear is the plastic wire casing right at the very end of one of the cables which is stripping off of the cable slightly; as in about 1 inch worth so far. I'm pretty gentle on equipment overall; your mileage may vary
@@RogueCylon I'm not sure what you mean. I set them up with pieces of angled steel and square steel tubing that I got from home depot. I cut the pieces to the length I needed based on where I set them up by eyeball in relation to the rack
During lockdown I went with BoS tall residential power rack. I've bought other BoS stuff so they would fit the rack. Now that I've been lifting at home for over a year, I would be open to trying cheaper products. Videos like this one is very helpful for new home gym purchasers, thanks! And congratulations on the arrival of "Bubba" Gluck. I hope Mama and Bubba are doing well.
Awesome video! I bought this during Covid and it has held up to quite a beating. Regarding stability, I found some cheap 24in spotter arms to put on the front and I have had upwards of 500lb+ sitting on a bar across these arms with no weight on the back of the rack. The rack did not budge at all! Glad to hear there are other adaptations people have made successful.
This is the rack I always point newbies towards. I had one just like this for over a decade and added tons of accessories to it over the years including a homemade reverse hyper attachment and a selectorized weight stack high/low pulley. I put the rack through the wringer and it never let me down. The only reason I eventually upgraded to a 3x3 rack was because they're cooler honestly haha
Commenting to let people know that Walmart sells this same rack under the ProGear brand for 209. Only difference is that it has J Cups instead of those weird circle ones.
I bought this rack almost 3 years ago thinking that I would upgrade it once more racks were available. Well....a ton of racks are now available and I find myself thinking twice before actually making the "upgrade". This just suits all of my needs, I have the lat pulldown (which is great), I love the dip attachments, and the size has been perfect for my space. Every time I think about upgrading it, I slow myself down and weigh in the reasons for upgrading it, it turns out it's always just one reason... too have a cooler looking rack like all the youtubers and people one FB groups do.
I like using pex tubing for my pin safety’s. Works great, cheap, looks cool, and easy to cut. I made my own pin safety’s after using straps that I got with my rack. I don’t see the need to mark 2 sides of the rack to remember my spots. I think I’m getting spotter arms next
I've had this rack for about 6 months now. It's worked well, got Yes4All weight horns and Titan T2 sandwich J-cups. The default J-cups are trash, I only use them if I want to hang up my coat.
Alec from Enkiri Elite fitness mains a similar if not the same rack for all his lifts and he’s pretty strong. Good to see this rack getting more attention haha
Yup got my Fitness Reality 810 XLT delivered by Walmart, nearly 2 years ago. Still going strong, very strong. I don't need another rack, this one works just fine, and has 95% less hype.
Seeing those tricked out 810xlt’s gives me modded compact car vibes😅 this rack is good enough for the majority of people, and it is very reasonably priced. That’s why it has been popular for so long. Great review Gluck and Co!
I love mine. I have the dip bars/lat pulldown/landmine attachment/lever arms/leg press attachment. Absolute budget gym but it holds up and it does everything I need it to do in a small basement space
A good budget rack to check out is the TDS one. Not much more money than this. 2"x2" but pretty heavy gage steel. 1" holes. Solid steel pins. Can by a high/low pulley station for it. Great value, IMO.
I have been using this rack for years as, I don't know, maybe an intermediate lifter (bench and squat around 300) and the thought of a different rack never even crosses my mind. I have the lat attachment and I love this thing. I did have to shim it up with 2x4's to get the safety pins at the perfect height. I added the Titan monolift attachment for benching, works great. These won't work for squats in this rack, it is too short.
"A-cups"... Nice... I couldn't convince myself to spend for a 3x3. I was pretty sure I was going to be happy with a home gym so I went with the 2x3 Titan T-3. But if I wasn't sure? This would be the rack I would go for. Good review. Different types of rack safeties is a great topic for your upcoming video. Good choice. Keep it up! And enjoy your final days of "free time!"
@@GlucksGym I love my T3. I just wish there were a few more accessories for it. And better strap safeties - the ones they have sound like they have WAY too much slack.
Hard agree on 2x2 being more than enough for most. I used an old tds one that had to have been at least 15 years old and I squatted close to 600 on it before getting an elitefts r2 rack because dan green used it
I always say that one the the greatest lies in the home gym market is that you need a 3x3 rack. 3x3 is nice but these cheapo 2x2's will accommodate the needs of most lifters. I have a Titan T-2 and squatting up to 405 feels perfectly safe. Getting creative and adding parts to your rack is half the fun. We are told we need to buy from the maker of our rack but you can rig most things together with some creativity.
I have Titans stealth leg press that I use on this rack, with weight horns it stays still. The lat pulldown is functional. I use the J cups that came with it to hang my bands when I'm not using them. I can honestly say that purchasing it has gotten me working out more, because it's convenient and keeps me from killing myself with a barbell.
The Fitness Reality 810 XLT is 24" between the front and back posts while the Titan T-2 is 26" between the front and back posts. The Stealth Leg Press was designed for Titan racks, including the T-2, so 26" is enough clearance. How about 24"? Is the 24"you have with the 810 XLT enough distance for the Stealth Leg Press to swing all the way to lockout? Thanks.
I have the CAP FM-8000F two post rack. I have been happy with it. But I may have to get one of these racks at some point. The thing that is selling me on it is the lat pull down. Mainly because it works with standard plates. I am not really in the mood to upgrade to Olympic and having to buy new plates, ba4s etc. So when I find standard compatible stuff, I get excited. Things are hard to find. But sometimes you can find them. I have a standard trap bar I found on Amazon. So a standard compatible cable setup is really appealing. Since my CAP is 2X2 with 1 inch hoes, I can use my existing J cups and spotter arms. If you want to review another budget rack, check out that CAP 2 post.
I’m in the process of upgrading my home gym to something more serious, already ordered an Olympic barbell and will soon replace my “general purpose” benches which don’t support much weight (I guess those are ok for people just doing one light workout every now and then or just people not getting serious into training at home), but also will order my first ever rack at the same time (I honestly dread the moment I’ll have to assemble it, I know I can but I’m so lazy for that). Basically I want something like right at the end of “entry level” and at the very very start of “mid level”, i still doubt I’ll ever lift super heavy weights (not that much into strength, also 2nd strongest at my house is my dad who’s elderly and can barely lift 15 kilos… so won’t have a proper spotter at home) but I definitely want to buy something future-proof (like if I want to get more attachments I can do so, if my home gym changes place I can just move it to the new place and so on). So far this is one of my top picks (also the only one recommended by content creators available in Mexico), still unsure if the pull-ups bar is the right height for me as I’m 1.80m (sorry I don’t know what that is in feet and inches), apparently should be safe but my current pull-up bar which is around 2m I have to bend my legs behind or I’ll just be standing in the floor while “hanging”
Can you put a monolift attachment on this? I’m looking at either Rouge or titans. Also do you have a affiliate discount code? If so I’d get one and use your code .
I wish I would have bought this instead of the BalanceFrom PC-1 rack. The BalanceFrom is non standard 2.5 x 2.5 tubing and so hard to find accessories to fit 2.5 x 2.5.
At minimum the bar hooks need to go and trade out the safety pins for straps. I know weight bars aren't meant to be babied but my Rogue Ohio Power bar in stainless steel is so darn good looking I could never subject it to that kind of treatment.
It's crazy how this rack is about 400€ (that is over US$431) over here on Amazon Germany while you still can get it on Amazon US for only US$249. And the LAT Pulldown & Leg Holdown Attachment is US$178 for you while over here they want 299€ for it (which equates to US$322). The Cable Corssover and Lat Pulldown Set isn't even available. Talking of getting ripped off... almost US$200 more for the cage is just crazy.
I have this rack lol and managed to buy Fatbells and Rogue products around it lol nothing else lol I’m probably going to buy the T2 spotters. Of I do have Frimges axle bar wish it have knurl though
Didn't Eric Bugenhagen have one of these fitness reality power racks for like 10 plus years? Dude lifts more than all of us combined and that thing survived all of it Edit: It indeed was a body solid power rack
If you don't drop your weights the rack will probably have no trouble surviving. Of course, if you don't ever drop weights maybe you aren't working very hard.
The amazon junk out there holds up very well for the average home gym user. I'm guessing most (percentage wise) aren't going over 3 plates on a bench or a squat. Maybe a rack pull....
Iam very happy with the bos light comertial rack. I almost baught the xlt since my friend uses it successfully but it was a couple inches to tall for the basement. The bos rack in the 72 inch version has served me well for about a year.
The T2 for the 12 gauge steel, 2x2, 2" hole spacing, and better assortment of attachments made for it. BoS is 2.3" tubing, 1100 is 3" spacing and 14 gauge.
@@GlucksGym I have the PR-1100 and like it, but the downside of that rack is that Rep doesn't make many accessories for it. Titan has lots of accessories for the T-2, plus its 26" from the front to back posts, not 24." I can make 24" work, but that extra 2" would be helpful.
Adding the Lat pulldown, some weight horns, and Titan spotter arms to the front makes this a super stable and versatile rack. I bench and squat out front now, and leave the pin safeties and leg hold-down bar in place so I can quickly switch to lat pull down by slightly moving my bench. Hard to beat for the money!
Hey I would really love this rack.. I know there’s many others but I am starting my home gym I have bought weights and a barbell I just need the rack. I don’t have enough money to buy one right now so I would enjoy it if u sent me it
@@GlucksGym Thank you for getting back to me. And just so you know I think you’re far better than GGR 🥸. And I’m not saying this just because of Winnie!
u/rice_bledsoe here, thanks for using my pic from r/homegym as a frankenrack example! I really miss my 810XLT outfitted with Titan T-2 attachments and Yes4all weight horns. We had to sell it when we moved but it served great use during the pandemic. My only complaint was the lack of stability especially when I was doing dips and even pull-ups. If I have enough space in the future for a 3x3 4-post or even 6-post rack, I'll definitely be getting one from Rep or Titan, but there will always be a soft spot in my heart for my 810XLT frankenstein.
I had to add rubber spacers on the spotter arms to make them fit the fitness reality more snugly, but once I did, both of those attachments became my favorite attachments to use.
I was almost convinced to buy this but then I remembered I love training at home so I’m gonna go ahead and get the good stuff! Thanks for sharing anyway!
Are those 3x3 racks worth it over these budget racks?
Probably not, but that won't stop us.
Worth it but not necessary :)
It’s worth it for the street cred. I’m old and out of shape and could easily get by with a 2x2 for what I lift……..but my college kid brought some friends home and partied……….one of the guys (who was a dang monster of a kid) had to come and talk weightlifting with me!

I would love to see more good quality 2x2 and 2x3 racks. 99% of lifters don't need 11 gauge 3x3 steel that ends up being unnecessary weight and cost.

It'd be a cool option to use this as a first rack, then later upgrade to a better rack, and keep this one as a bench press station.

No, he had a really old Taiwanese made body solid. Apparently gave it away to the movers during his move. He's using a bells of steel rack now.
@@bigx5murf you're right
If you have the Amazon rack of another rack like that
Titan fitness have the best accessory next be valor fitness
The amazon junk out there holds up very well for the average home gym user. I'm guessing most (percentage wise) aren't going over 3 plates on a bench or a squat. Maybe a rack pull....
I have this rack, and it works well- squating near 500lbs, and benching close to 400lbs.
However, I haven't really dropped weight on it
I think if I was on a budget I would go with the cheap REP rack but what do I know. I'm the idiot who bought a fully loaded PR5000
I started my home gym with a similar budget rack, and it served me well until I was able to upgrade! (When’s that baby coming? …)
He arrived today!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Big hugs to all of you ❤
🎉 Congratulations!
@@GlucksGymcongratulations!!!!
Gluck, if you had to, what would you choose between this, the Titan T-2, Rep PR 1000/1100 and BoS Residential Rack?
Titan X-3
Iam very happy with the bos light comertial rack. I almost baught the xlt since my friend uses it successfully but it was a couple inches to tall for the basement. The bos rack in the 72 inch version has served me well for about a year.
The T2 for the 12 gauge steel, 2x2, 2" hole spacing, and better assortment of attachments made for it. BoS is 2.3" tubing, 1100 is 3" spacing and 14 gauge.
@@GlucksGym I have the PR-1100 and like it, but the downside of that rack is that Rep doesn't make many accessories for it. Titan has lots of accessories for the T-2, plus its 26" from the front to back posts, not 24." I can make 24" work, but that extra 2" would be helpful.
I just got the T2 with extra attachments and it’s a very good budget rack
Good review, I've had my eyes on it for a while!
So... how does one enter the giveaway? :P
When we're home again (Wynie just had the baby) I'll post the giveaway as a community post
@@GlucksGym Congratulations on the baby!
What jammer arms fit on these rack
How can I enter the Giveaway!! i would love to have a rack like this :)
funniest guy on youtube
😂 That's some high praise
Any budget equipment will be fine for most people.
I want one have no money my wood squat stands and free 20 year old bench will have to do
I got this same rack 👍
Coop dropped 800lbs on it in one of his videos 🏋️♂️
Did he use it for workouts?
@@GlucksGym I think he bought it for views 😂😂😂
I saw that. If I recall correctly, at least one of the pins was bent somewhat but the rack was more or less ok.
Would this rack survive a day at Westside Barbell?
No 😂
Adding the Lat pulldown, some weight horns, and Titan spotter arms to the front makes this a super stable and versatile rack. I bench and squat out front now, and leave the pin safeties and leg hold-down bar in place so I can quickly switch to lat pull down by slightly moving my bench. Hard to beat for the money!
Which titan spotter arms did you go with?
@@stevenwade9679 The ones for the Titan T-2 rack. They were about $100 i think.
Seems worth ngl
Hey I would really love this rack.. I know there’s many others but I am starting my home gym I have bought weights and a barbell I just need the rack. I don’t have enough money to buy one right now so I would enjoy it if u sent me it
Is this actually 2x2? Coop from Garage gym reviews states it as 1.25x1.25 🤔
It's 2x2
@@GlucksGym Thank you for getting back to me. And just so you know I think you’re far better than GGR 🥸. And I’m not saying this just because of Winnie!
Lol flimsy can still be durable whoo whoo
🔥
what is this wrack?
u/rice_bledsoe here, thanks for using my pic from r/homegym as a frankenrack example! I really miss my 810XLT outfitted with Titan T-2 attachments and Yes4all weight horns. We had to sell it when we moved but it served great use during the pandemic. My only complaint was the lack of stability especially when I was doing dips and even pull-ups. If I have enough space in the future for a 3x3 4-post or even 6-post rack, I'll definitely be getting one from Rep or Titan, but there will always be a soft spot in my heart for my 810XLT frankenstein.
What all Titan T-2 attachments did you use with it?
@@cohesive3482 Spotter arms and roller J-cups, that was it.
I had to add rubber spacers on the spotter arms to make them fit the fitness reality more snugly, but once I did, both of those attachments became my favorite attachments to use.
Heck of a build!
Did you add after market uprights to the 810 for vertical plate storage? I would like to do that so looking for info, thanks
Buy my love
If you gotta say titans stuff makes a night and day difference....
😂 Titan makes some good budget equipment (and some bad stuff too)
Still good in 2023.
Gluck you are looking bigger than ever
Don't tell Wynie but I think I'm in love 😍
“Size doesn’t matter” that’s what she said.. never.. not lol
In before Bailey and Coach Carp? 🤷♂️
yep congrats bff
You got me I was in a bad internet spot
Start of an amazons 'most popular' series?
Could be an idea in there 🤔
Maybe not though it says theres already 1 comment
I was almost convinced to buy this but then I remembered I love training at home so I’m gonna go ahead and get the good stuff! Thanks for sharing anyway!
