145 Pounds (power cage only).
185 Pounds (power cage with let pull-down attachment).

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.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

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.

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

I bought one, now I'm trying to figure out if the frame is 2", 2.5" or 3" for adding on a pair of weight plate holders: https://www.amazon.com/SYL-Fitnes...0C5886B3Z/

The rack is an odd size of 2.35"x2.35", so not a standard size. Luckily it's the same thing as a HulkFit, so the attachments for the HulkFit work perfectly. I purchased 3 pairs of https://a.co/d/0LptTNw currently on sale and they are awesome. Hold up all my plates and make the rack more stable.

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

Mine arrived yesterday and it came with dip bars, j hooks, and safety bars. The package was badly damaged though and one of my yellow posts is dented. Installing this cage was a real pain as well, glad I never have to do it again. Please do yourself a favor and use an impact wrench, you'll thank me later.

Nice...I can't find a standard core plate holder. The one you mentioned is 2" olympic core, and I searched for the 1" variation...but no success in finding it.

Thumbs up for this deal.

I received the cage two days ago; package arrived torn a bit, and it was so heavy that the FedEx dude was super-glad I helped him carry it into the garage from his truck. All components were completely intact and all parts were included, including the safety bars. It wasn't hard to put together, just a lot of bolts (have a ratchet wrench w/17mm socket to make your life easier).

I am not a hard-core lifter, so this is definitely sturdy enough for me by far. I am going to store my weights on the weight storage attachments I also purchased, which should help, but it's fine without.

Lat pulldown attachment is presently OOS for the last few days; I contacted ProFrom about it, and they said they were swamped and didn't know when they'd have more. I would like to buy that attachment, and I've scoured the Interwebs.. if you have a spot for purchase, LMK.

That lat pulldown attachment doesn't fit the PC-1 cage - the top bolt holes on that one are front-to-back instead of top-to-bottom. Thank you, though! If I find it I will post here.

I see, ok this one is from a different brand but i read it works. https://www.amazon.com/HulkFit-Pu...224&sr=8-3 its more money, but Atleast is the updated v2 with the leg support

Yep all of the HulkFit attachments work for this cage. The BalanceFrom and HulkFit cage are the same, just marketed with different names. I just installed the lat pulldown v2 yesterday, installation was pretty simple and it fit perfectly. I'd recommend it.

Now I need a wider barbell...this rack needs 50" between collars, so I'm looking at 84" bars that will fit on the j-hooks correctly. My current bar with weights fits inside the rack, sitting with threads on the j-hooks!
