This suggested retail is outrageously high. This rack is $700-$800 every day on Amazon. They listed the price this high for those who do not research and think they are getting a great deal. This is not $2,000 off. It is $2,000 off of a pumped-up and fake price.

This has only 2"x2" frame (the smallest diameter on power racks) and cable pulleys that are not adjustedable. This has high cables only rather the cables that slide up and down on a nicer rack. That pull-up bar setup is bad. Unless you REALY want a cheap rack with a "peck deck" then skip this. You can the same quality rack for less with adjustable pulleys on Amazon.

Great insight! Is there anything in particular you'd recommend from Amazon or elsewhere?

Do a search for "cable pulley power rack" on Amazon and look at some. They are all going to be about the same. Find the options that you want, like adjustable cables. The main considerations on a power cage are the gauge of the metal and the upright/crossbar dimensions. Usually, the more expensive and "better" racks with have 3"x3" columns/supports. That is what you want for heavier lifters (250-300 pounds on the bar). The next step down will be 2"x3" and 2.35" x 2.35" columns. The latter will be the hardest to find accessories for, so get one that comes with everything that you want. The 2"x2" racks are going to be the lightest duty, but will still be good for benches and squats up to 250 pounds (heavier if you are careful or maybe lighter if you do a lot of bailing on your last rep and dropping the bar on the safeties).

It just depends on your situation, how heavy you lift, and how many people will be using it. If you have a big family or friends using the equipment, you will want a better rack. If you want a better functional trainer, I would opt for one with separate cable weight racks (load weights separately for each cable) rather than a rack with one weight rack for both cables in the rear.

You do not need a pec deck if you have cables. You can get much better results and do more exercises with cables. A pec deck just takes up space and fills up your rack/cage. Yes, they make tacks with Smith, pec deck, and cables, but they won't be "cheapo."

Here is one example: https://bodyleanfitness.com/produ...EimSHO5Xxk

Here is a cheap setup with high cable, pec deck, and Smith: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mikolo...6930669386

Mikolo makes another rack with all three (but high cables only). Showing out of stock: https://gym-mikolo.com/products/m...krq2Wp1ybF
