I ended up buying The pro gear 310 cage with the lat pulldown attachment for about 410 before tax yesterday, which is a little more than 100 bucks over this unit. Anyone have experience with both and can share some opinions?

Is this for holding your fallout power armor? I'm not sure Preston Garvey approves.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank reypolskyy

I bought this cage a year ago when it was on similar sale and after couple weeks of usage I returned it.
Construction is weak and shaky.
Look at cage weight only... it says: "145 Pounds (power cage only)."...
After that look at another similar products like dickssportinggoods's ETHOS Power Rack at 278 lbs... that one costs much more... but in my opinion it is better product.

Those 2 power racks have 11 gauge steel and similar spec rating...
However walmart cage has 11 gauge steel only at top (pullups bars are 11 gauge) everything else is thin metal.... and you could see this from weight only...

Moreover metal quality construction of walmart rack is cheap (weak metal and parts are not precise)... when I tightened bolts and nuts yellow painted metal was slightly bent...

So bottom line: would it work - probably yes... is it a quality product - no it is not!

Where do you get the extra set of place holders?

I got the Progear from Walmart for $200 a month ago. Overall I'm happy with it, but its on the small side and with the plate holder attachments loaded up there's not enough space to bench press inside.Very stable when loaded up with plates though.

No experience with the BalanceFrom though.

That's comparing the OP's rack that's $200 without the lat pulldown vs the ETHOS for $750. The $3,000 hammer strength rack at my gym could hold back a train, but since this is SD I'm more focused on comparing within a similar price range.

I have the ProGear from Walmart [walmart.com], and I don't think the rack is flimsy at all. But it is easy to knock around unless it is weighted/bolted down.

That guys form in every picture sucks. They should actually get someone in shape who knows how to use the equipment.

Can you please share how you know it's 11 gauge steel only at the pull-up bar?

To compare there is also this version on Amazon for the same price which has the safety straps and says it's 11 gauge tubular steel frame construction. The total weight of the rack seems low though.

Well, it was a year ago when I was in possession of that cheap rack.... I measured thickness of the metal and top plate with pullups seems like 11 Ga (1/8 inch thickness) and yellow polls when I measured those were much thinner in comparison and looked like 15-16 Ga (a bit more than 1/16 inch)

You can buy J-cups that drop down 1in. They are meant for 2in spacing in your exact scenario. Look for lowered j cups, about $70-80 which makes this rack a steal, also thanks for the tip.
It's the spotter bars that are the issue. The jcups are fine.

the spotter bars are quite thin. Is there another compatible option?

Used to be into barbells and weights and stuff. My suggestion is buy once cry once. And watch Garage Gym Reviews. Power rack or squat rack can be cheap, but the bar should be 200-300. You're touching that the most. And if you want to take care of the bar, you'll end up getting a rack/squat rack with UHMW plastic on the j-cups or spotter arms to protect your investment. I also personally went to just a pull-up bar and weighted vest. Kept getting all these small injuries and finally a major disc one I can still feel to this day. Titan.Fitness or even Grind isn't too bad. Enjoy the new hobby, but it is a footprint in the garage/basement.
