The Mikolo F4 v2.0 is a compact home squat rack with a centered lat pulldown and low row setup that fits well for typical garage gym use. The 2 inch hole spacing makes J hook and safety bar adjustments easier, and the 1 to 1 pulley feel is described as direct and smooth, with quiet plastic pulleys and solid 2 inch by 2 inch posts. It also includes a built in knee pad for pulldowns. Main drawbacks are the lack of a true functional trainer, the need for extra accessories if you want more cable versatility, and occasional two box shipping issues that can leave the set incomplete.

  • The F4 version 2.0 provides 2-inch hole spacing that makes safety bar and J-hook height adjustments easier.

  • The centered lat pull down and lower row setup can feel smooth with a 1:1 pulley ratio.

  • The rack posts are described as sturdy 2x2 steel posts that support the squat rack frame.

  • The plastic pulleys on the F4 version 2.0 are reported to run quietly and smoothly with good alignment.

  • The rack is criticized as being made of sheet metal, and the criticism recommends spending more for a safer, proper rack.

  • The shipment can arrive in two boxes where only one box is included, which prevents full assembly and use.

  • The bundle appears to include a knee pad for lat pulldowns but not an actual bench for pressing work.

  • The j-hook and safety-bar capacities shown in descriptions and pictures may not match the stated max load, creating uncertainty about limits.

I have this F4 version2.0 rack and it is great. I will never be squatting or bench pressing more than 350lb so this works great. This version 2.0 has 2-inch spacing between the 1-inch holes which makes height adjustment of safety bars and J-hooks much better than larger spacing. The center cable for Lat Pull down and lower Rows is 1:1 ratio pulley system. Someone else recommended 1:1 over any 2:1 ratio because 2:1 ratio need twice the weight to match the weight on a 1:1 ratio pulley system. Glad I listened to that opinion. All of the accessories are great too.

It does not have a functional trainer system. So I made a poorman's functional trainer with a fixed-eye pulley, rope, and couple D-handles. It works for my needs.

I looked at the product page. Where does it say it's made of sheet metal?

I have the Mikolo K6 which has a slightly different pulley system but has the same rack posts and it is plenty sturdy.

These are strong 2"x2" posts. You can buy racks with 3"x3" posts but that's overkill unless you are lifting extremely heavy weight competitively, outfitting a commercial gym, or just want the extra stability and attachment ecosystem that comes with higher-end racks.

That being said.. while the description says "Max load: 1200 lbs", the pictures for the Mikolo F4 does say there is a 300 lb weight capacity of the jhooks, and 400 lb capacity for the safety bars.

Even then, here's a video of a drop test of 540 lbs on a similar setup by Mikolo.

I have the 2:1 pulley setup, and I think it mostly comes down to preference and what kind of feel you want.
  • 1:1 pulley ratio
    If you load 50 lbs, you feel about 50 lbs of resistance. The handle travels the same distance as the weight stack/cable movement. It feels heavier and more direct.
  • 2:1 pulley ratio
    If you want to feel 50 lbs of resistance, you need to load about 100 lbs. In exchange, the handle travels twice as far and usually feels smoother. This is nice for exercises that need a longer range of motion, like cable flys, rows, or lat pulldowns.
So with 2:1, you trade mechanical advantage for more cable travel and smoother movement. Neither is universally "better," just different.

I ordered this multiple times from Walmart and the issue is it comes in 2 boxes and unfortunately they always only sent box 1 of 2 or box 2 of 2. I was never able to get the full set and actually build and use this. Lots of time wasted.

What's a "functional trainer system"?

Looks like there's a built-in knee pad for the lat pulldowns but not an actual bench.

This bundle doesn't, but there is a $500 bundle that includes a bench (https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/290858768). But that means that bench is $225.. which is not worth it. I bought mine separately.

If anyone is looking for a bench, the bench in the $500 bundle just looks slightly different than this one for $42: https://slickdeals.net/f/19503036-nicepeople-adjustable-weight-bench-w-8-backrest-angles-up-to-600-lbs-capacity-41-99-free-shipping

If you just want a flat bench, I have this one and it is very sturdy, and is currently on sale for $25: https://slickdeals.net/f/19502589-ac-25-01-fitvids-heavy-duty-adjustable-and-foldable-utility-weight-bench-for-upright-incline-decline-and-flat-exercise-at-amazon

And if you fail a squat or bench press, you are not going to have a free fall from that height which magnifies the downward force onto the safety bar. You will still have a grip and strength to lower it down onto the safety bar.

I bought extra J-hooks for the convenience of holding the barbell at commonly used heights without having to move the J-hooks again and again. I bought some heftier J-hooks.
