Balance Form power cage/pullup bar.

Details:
Four J-Hooks included with Power Cage
Two Multi Grip Dip Bars included with Power Cage.
H-Shape for stability.
Assembled power cage dimensions: 81 in x 44 in x 47 in.
Assembled cable crossover dimensions: 120" x 81" x 31.5".
145 Pounds (power cage only).
185 Pounds (power cage with let pull-down attachment).
40 Pounds (lat pull-down attachment only).
140 Pounds (cable crossover only).
1000 lb capacity.

You can purchase an optional lat pulldown bar separately.

At $169.99 (free shipping), this is the lowest price I've seen for this powercage model.
This doesn't actually have a 1000 lb barbell capacity as Youtube reviews say it isn't strong enough to survive a drop from an 800lb barbell. Reviews also say it is 16 gauge steel instead of 11 gauge steel for most of the structure.
However, the item is sturdy enough to be used for lighter barbell weights and is perfectly fine as a calisthenics cage (eg. pullups, dips, etc). This will be strong enough for the vast majority of people who aren't professional athletes, body builders, etc.

Maybe I got a lemon but the one I got had holes that don't align correctly. That and the ends of the bars are all bent. It was a farking pain in the ass to assemble this thing. It's still a little crooked now but it does its job so whatever. But I wouldn't recommend.

I may have used the wrong term. They're either some bars or some rope that catch the bar in case you fail. It prevents you from catching the bar with your neck on bench press and falling backwards/forwards with the bar on squats.

If you have a spotter, it's less of an issue (re: guy who got kilt by his spotter on squats) and you can bench without collars and dump the plates on bench. But I still prefer the safety bars, especially because I usually work out on my own.

Quote from WinkieDuck :
owned this for a year and I would buy again.

Lots of add ons if people want a lat pull down machine or safety bars (mentioned in prev messages here). It's not too heavy so it'll wobble a little bit if you're too heavy or rough with it. I'm 160lbs and I have no issues. Maybe sand bags at the base if you're doing kipping pull ups lol...

So you can confirm it does not come with the safety bars? I have seen conflicting things about it

Quote from leadvj :
I bought the same one a couple of months back, it has the safety bars, it goes through the holes on the two frames on each side.
How much higher in the pullup bar part than the main frame? It looks like assembled height is 81" but it shows that to the frame, the pullup bar looks to go higher.

I wish the cable crossovers would become available again. I bought this almost a year ago and the cables have been sold out since. I wonder if the company is going out of business or something?

Quote from Duydawg :
If I recall, the beams are 2x3 which can limit what accessories you can add to it, vs something like the reality fitness rack which is 2x2, which can take the titan fitness add ons
So weird, my version is 2.35"x2.35". Random!

The Hulkfit accessories fit this though, but it's annoying that it's not 2x2 or 2x3

Will this rock back and forth for muscle ups, I'm still in the beginner stages?

These are likely not using 3x3 uprights, so you probably will experience a ton of play with a dynamic movement like muscle ups on this.

Pretty sure the spotter arms attachment on the same page is what you're looking for. $35 reg price

These work, but that's not what he's talking about either.

He's talking about rails that run the full length of the inside of the rack. Those spotter arms okay, but they usually tend to be short. Not ideal if you fell backwards instead of forward

Thanks for correcting me. I know nothing about workout equipment, but thought that may be what they were looking for. +Rep

I have this rack. Mine did come with safety bars. I'm pretty sure multiple companies sell this exact rack, and some just don't include the safety bars.

It's fine for the price. Mine did wobble slightly. It never felt unsafe, just annoying. A piece of cardboard under one corner fixed it.

To me it's claim of a 1000-lb weight capacity seems questionable. However, I'll probably never have more than 400 on this and I have no concerns.

I also have this and it did come with the safety bars when I bought it but the picture and description are different now. If you look at the picture in the OP link for the BalanceFrom and the picture in the HulkFit version [walmart.com] you will see they are the same picture but the safety bars are photoshopped out.

My experience is it is good for what it is. It allows my kids and I to work out safely while at home. Mine came beat up but complete. One of the uprights was welded slightly twisted so the safety arm would not fit through properly. I had to slightly enlarge the holes on the back of one upright for things to work but now is works fine. The other side were aligned properly.

Anyone tried using this rack with resistance bands? If so, what did you use to hool the bands to the rack? Caribiners connected to ankle wraps and then the bands through the ankle parts, just looping door anchors, etc.?

no safety bars. It has 2 J hooks to hold a lifting bar. That's it.

Got these for $198 two weeks ago and WM chat wont price adjust for me today. Mine was missing the safety bars even thought prod desc at the time listed it. Looks like they've removed the safety bars from the prod desc and pics now. I complained to BalanceFrom and they're sending me a set now.
