See my idea for a very inexpensive "poor man functional trainer" set up using a simple fixed-eye pulley, rope, and couple D-ring handles below in a reply! Image of the pulley I used is posted in that reply. Make sure you use a self-tightening knot when attaching the D-ring handles.
3/21/2026 UPDATE: $276 price at Walmart online. Free shipping. I thought $297 to $329 was a great deal. $276 price with free shipping is unbelievable! There is VERY RESTRICTIVE return policy. Don't count on being able to return this to Walmart store. READ THE DETAILS about return policy.
2/15/2026 UPDATE: $297 price at Walmart online.
2/5/2026 UPDATE: $306 price at Walmart online.
1/7/2026 UPDATE: Price is back to $329.00 and free shipping. Still a nice deal. I just received delivery of the item in two boxes and boxes are in good shape. Going to open them up and assemble this weekend.
1/4/2026 UPDATE price has now dropped to $296.99 and free shipping!
This apparent new version of the previously posted Mikolo multifunction squat rack cage back in May, 2025, now has 2-inch spacing between the 1-inch holes in this model F4 2.0. The holes are also numbered. The previous one had comments of having 4-inch spacing of the 1-inch holes. Also this new version has the padded lap brace, which has five height adjustments, to hold you down during the LAT pulls. The cable system is the more desirable 1:1 ratio cable system. You put on 150lbs of weights and you are lifting 150lbs of resistance weights. I do not like the 2:1 ratio cable systems which would require you to put on 300lbs of weights to lift 150lbs of resistance weight. You would be buying a moving around a lot of weights in a 2:1 ratio cable system.
There are about 23 accessories included which makes $276 a bargain by any measure! See my explanation about the accessories in the older SD thread about same product in the link in the reply below.
I LOVE THIS F4 version 2.0 squat rack...

Incorrect. 50lbs at a 1:1 means it feels like 50lbs (not 150). Although the next sentence is right, with a 2:1, you feel half of the weight loaded. It's a mechanical advantage. With plate loading it's not that big of a deal but you need to have smaller weights for in between. When you have a selectorized weight rack and it starts at 10 lb plus the felt weight is even more than that it can be difficult for some, like smaller individuals, to do certain exercises like front raises or side dealt raises where the lowest weight possible is still too high.
The 2:1 also provides a lot more cable travel as you pull away from the rack. I don't recall but it might be double. This gives you a chance to do movements further away or requiring more cable travel. The 1:1 has far less cable travel and depending on your movement you might run out of cable length.
So - advantages of 2:1 - longer cable travel. In a selectorized machine you can get it to start at a lower weight. Con - with a plate loaded machine you need a lot more plates because the felt weight is only one half of whatever you have loaded.
1:1- with a plate loaded system you only need half the amount of Weights because you feel the pound for pound that you load. Disadvantage - shorter cable travel and in selectorized machines the starting weight can be too high for some movements for some people. Each jump of 10 lb is an actual felt weight of 10 lb on a selectorized machine. On the 2:1, each 10 lb jump is only a 5 pound increase in felt weight.
I managed to create a "poor-man functional trainer" set up with a fix-eye pulley, rope, and two D-rings. I connect the pulley to either the LAT pulldown cable or the ROW cable down low for a variety of fly exercises. Can do regular fly, one-arm crossovers, triceps, biceps, back, etc alternating SO QUICKLY... fun as heck!
Here is the pulley I used:
