Wow, ridiculous price for some steel. Not saying the sale price isn't good but that is still crazy. I have one of these sitting in front of my shop, different brand. I bought it about 10 years ago, can't remember the price.

I did chop up a Bowflex machine for welding projects but I haven't got the heart to chop into the rack like this as it's pretty useful even for not weightlifting. I used mine to hold a tractor implement off the ground a few times while I was working on it.

Anyone in the market for one of these should seriously just go to a steel supplier and buy some drill bits and big bolts and nuts and make their own, or weld it if you can do that.

I've actually priced it out that way and it's the same price or more for materials. When you factor in labor, hardware and any consumables used, it's not worth it. Especially for most people do don't have access to a shop with a mill

Solid deal. I would check the availability attachments and hole sizes so you can plan out upgrades. Also check prior black friday and other sales prices for other cages so u know what may be available again. Tariffs And other bs may make that data unreliable but worth looking at, at least.

Just bought the version that golds flat against the wall today. Great price for the average weight lifter wanting to incorporate Olympic bar lifts into their routine. $420 out the door.

That's a great deal, too. It looks like mikolo is trying to liquidate old stock to make way for new products (I think they call the new all-in-one trainer the Anubis. Great time to take advantage!!

Careful with this rack. when i was shopping for mine last year this mikolo checked all the boxes like 3x3 11G steel with 1" holes for a great deal but the amazon reviews are consistently reporting it arrived with no hardware and mikolo support was useless. they end up spending over $100 on bolts, nuts, and washers to assemble it. Best bet for racks is to find a used rogue/titan 3x3 11G locally. it's just steel with holes so not much to worry about buying second hand.

Can confirm it comes with all hardware. Purchased the track and the lat pulldown. Very sturdy. It's missing some quality of life things, like plastic lining on the attachments - the rack is going to get scratched with use. The lat pulldown works but, it's not high quality. It will, however, get the job done and was similar in price to buying used equipment.
