Your last sentence is a bit misleading. Most attachments will not fit this rack. It has tubing/uprights that are 2.3x2.3". The "universal" size is 3x3", with many other, less expensive racks using 2x2". If you want weight plate holders, spotter arms, lever arms, belt squat, etc., then you should buy the ones listed with this rack. Most will not fit. There were a couple of brands available on Amazon when this was on sale a couple of years ago, but unsure if they are still there. There are several threads on this rack here on SD. It looks like this is the old pic again, and the rack does not include the squat safety rails. I have this rack, and this is a great buy! Use washers on each end of the bolts when assembling for some added strength/stiffness. EDIT: I just noticed that the attachments state they fit 2.5x2.5" uprights. They may not fit this rack, which looks to be the same 2.3x2.3" rack that was sold the last time this was on clearance at Walmart.

I have this rack because I thought it was a good deal, and it is if you don't really need any other attachments other than the ones that come with it. If you're good with this, then this is a fantastic deal and you'll likely be satisfied with this. If you think you will be buying attachments for this that will bolt or be placed on the rack then you should reconsider. It is very difficult / impossible to find attachments because the uprights are not standard size. When I wanted a belt squat attachment I needed to drill new holes into an upright and love the fact that it does not fit nicely but still works just fine. When I wanted padded j cups to protect my bar, I needed to cut and stick furniture pads on the existing bar hooks since I could find any to fit the upright. It can be made to work, but will be need to be made to work instead of just buying something that fits.

Yes, specifically HulkFit. And if they are no longer in business, then that would limit some of the attachments as they are who primarily sold me mine.

Thanks for the correction. I should have said that there were multiple companies using the size not that the size was a standard.

This BalanceFrom power cage is a budget home gym starter that gets the basics done for squats, benching, pullups, and lat work. The cage and lat pulldown have held up well over time, and the low price is the main draw versus pricier racks. The biggest catch is attachment fit, since the uprights are an odd size and many third party accessories do not fit cleanly. The listing also appears to omit the safety bars or straps shown in photos, so it works best if you only need the included setup.

  • The rack and lat pulldown attachment can work as intended after over two years of use.

  • The lat pulldown attachment can function properly and the bottom row function can work well.

  • The rack can hold up in an approximately 800-pound drop test without the rack breaking.

  • The rack can be a solid starter option for home strength training when upgrading later.

  • The rack may not include the squat safety bars shown in listing photos, which can require sourcing separately.

  • The lat pulldown attachment price can change depending on whether the rack bundle or attachment is selected.

    jopamifejopamife

  • The upright size can be 2.3x2.3 inches, which can make many attachments not fit.

    ClassReptilia

  • The bottom support bar placement can interfere with bench pressing, requiring bench repositioning.

Are the posts 1 or 2 pieces like the cap squat rack?

Great deal to start powerlifting (or strength train) at home without having to deal with being at a commercial gym.
Weight capacity also great, as budget racks tend to have a lower weight capacity.

Walmart allows me to add this to the cart. But when I try to check out, it says it's out of stock. Is it?

EDIT: It's back in stock. Walmart allowed me to check out.

The photo shows two included safety bars, but this rack apparently does NOT come with said safety bars. You can't even buy them as an option. No power rack is complete without them. The whole point of a rack is that you squat / bench inside of it. Those 23" safety catcher they sell are okay, not great. What's the solution? Where can I buy safety bars from?

I ordered the more expensive kit that also came with the pulldown. It explicitly lists that it comes with safety straps. Arrived today and it has NO straps or bars. Great. Now I'll be sending both back if I can't find 3rd party safety bars or straps. The bars listed above may work but I'm not paying $70 for safety bars for a $100 rack.

Worst case you can return them if they don't fit. 3rd party, but can still return to local Walmart store for refund.

But the one star review seems to indicate they are hollow and flimsy. Might as well got the Home Depot route and get an iron pipe, cut it down with hacksaw, and get some end caps. Would be cheaper (and probably stronger).
