the best add on pulley system is the titan fitness one. can be mounted to a wall if you dont have a compatible rack. currently out of stock but they had them a few weeks ago. they have a shorter version as well (its only a few inches shorter.

That said, it seems this one does have one-piece posts, which may lend to it be studier. I like the way it connect the posts to the center to provide a base vs the Fuel. I don't like the short spotter arms. It seems like a good value for a home gym. If it's the same gauge steel as the fuel rack, I don't think 400lbs will be a problem. the 800lb racking seems doubtful, but if it's a decent thickness I'd have no trouble with it. Had the fuel back in April at the start of the lockdown, used it 5x a week. We outgrew it. Sold it to someone else needing a rack. Upgraded to a Titan T-3. I'd be cool with recommending this to someone needing a home setup. I'd know what the Fuel can do, and know it will work for most people with a barbell, but I feel like I'd like the Sunny over the Fuel. The fuel loading pegs were in the way when you wanted to drop spotter/j-hooks low, and they open the same side so you had to unload storage. This looks doesn't look to have the same problem.

1. the safety arms are short. but its not horrible. depending on the bench you get to go with this be wary that may need to raise of drop the bench youre using to be safe during bench press.
2. half racks are whack. i wouldnt buy this again, but i will use it for a few years. it can support "800lb" but i find its much more sturdy when you have plates on the sides to weigh it down. i put 315 on it and it seems fine. i dont plan on going much higher than 405 so i think it works for me.
3. the holes are not standard 1/2" or 5/8" this will make finding attachments impossible, i made custom stuff with 3/8" and it works.
4. buy another rack where you can have a lat pulldown attachment. i miss that part the most from going to the gym despite a pulley system i improvised.
i would say this is more of a beginner's half power rack jr. it gets the job done and the price is pretty decent. you cant really upgrade anything on it, but it got the job done during covid.
