Anyone have experience on this? I'm on the fence on the safety bars and jhook system
I have the system.... how heavy are you lifting? It is good enough for a beginner-intermediate lifter. If you are a power lifter, I wouldn't get this system.

Thanks. Yeah, I am not power lifting at all... the weight limits seem like they would fit my needs. Is the cage sturdy? Also, from some reviews I found, the common complaint is the pulley and cables; they fray and aren't smooth. Is this true?

The pulleys aren't smooth like commercial gyms, but they are not bad. Just have to lube them with WD40. Cage is sturdy if you put weight on the pulley system or on the little storage rack on the back. If absolutely no weight is on the rack, it's not super sturdy but also not super light. I haven't had any issues with the rack Moving or sliding… it's sturdy enough.
One of the wires did fray on me and break, but it was an easy fix. I think I should have tightened the screw that holds the wire in place when I first assembled it, I believe it would've prevented it. All in all, I would have probably saved up extra for a higher end unit, but at the same time i don't regret spending less than half the price of one of those. If this is within your budget and it fits your needs, I would get it. I paid like 900+ for mine last year.
I have this rack, bought it used, and it's fantastic. For what it's worth, I'm 275 pounds and this is solid on pullups for me, as well as weights. I was surprised how smooth the cables are. Didn't feel off compared to the gym cable machines, but silicon spray would be better than WD-40 if you're going to lubricate it.
TLDR: If you have $700 to spend, you can buy a solid 3x3 rack that's definitely quality but bare bones with just the rack, or you can buy this and get so much more functionality for the same price.
Option 1- Buy a 3x3 rack new from Titan or REP or Rogue, and while it'll be more bare bones, it's more "future proof". More attachments, slightly more solid construction. More of a buy once cry once, but you have to start at square 1. You will have to spend money on those attachments. Functional trainers are EXPENSIVE too, while just a lat pulldown add on is a few hundred bucks.
Option 2 - Buy this. You get the functionality of a functional trainer, plus you can squat inside or outside the rack. If you are upgrading from a small rack or just squat stands, this is the way to go if you want a cable system like this for as cheap as you can get it.
This is more like a 3x2 rack, as opposed to the standard 2x3. So regular 2x3 attachments won't fit, unless they're from Major Fitness or the offshoot companies. The attachments they sell are expensive compared to what they should be in most cases, but they absolutely work and pricing isn't like it's outrageous. The J hooks they supply are solid, but they're angled and can be hard to rerack, especially without westside spacing. Luckily you can buy 3x3 attachments to use. Yes, there's a gap since this is 3x2, but you can fill the gap with wood or just buy a magnet adapter to fill the gap.
I'm very satisfied as it comes, though I do plan to get another set of J hooks for outside the rack, as well as safety spotter arms for outside the rack. Other upgrades are things like other cable attachments, viking press, etc that are very standard.

You should not use WD40 on a pully system unless its the silicone based WD40.
