FLYBIRD SR1 Squat Rack with Pull-Up Bar, Adjustable Multi-Functional Power Rack, Inner Width Squat Rack Stand Suitable for 6FT,7FT Barbell for Home Gym Equipment

We have used this rack for over a year now, and it has held up very well with regular use. The overall build feels solid and stable, especially for a home gym setup. Once assembled and properly tightened, there is very little movement during lifts, even with heavier weight. One of the best features is the landmine attachment. It gets used constantly for rows, presses, and rotational work, and it feels sturdy and well integrated into the rack. It easily became one of the most-used parts of our setup. The pull-up bar is also solid and comfortable to use, and the band pegs add extra flexibility for resistance band work. I often ended up wrapping bands directly around parts of the frame or the pull-up bar since there are plenty of good anchor points. The rack works well for most upper body and arm exercises, along with squats and other lower body movements when paired with a barbell and plates. The included plate holders are sized for standard plates and do work, but I ended up adding Olympic plate holders for better stability and convenience. That upgrade made the setup feel even more complete. The adjustable arms and safety options are well designed and easy to reposition, making it usable for different exercises and lifters. For the size and price, this rack offers a lot of functionality without taking up too much space. Overall, this has been a reliable and versatile piece of equipment. With a barbell, weights, and some bands, you can get a full body workout without needing much else. The durability over a full year of use makes it easy to recommend for anyone building a home gym.

This is the second one of these that I have purchased which gives you an idea of just how good it is. My original one is in my shed gym and the new one that I bought about six or so months later is in the house. The reason for both purchases was for the space saving option that this rack provides that others do not. This rack is width adjustable and still very stable. I like that everything you need to get started is already included for a really low price (plus a small shipping fee). Including shipping it was still under $200. Included is a comfortable padded pullup bar, built in pegs for attaching resistance bands. a landmine, a pair of weight horns to store weight plates with, a pair of j cups that are padded and a pair of padded spotter arms for safety. For even more stability included are pins to further lock the j cups and spotter arms in place so you are not just relying on the hole spacing. Speaking of hole spacing most gym attachments use either a 2x2 rack with 1" hole spacing or a 3x3 rack (which costs more) with 1" hole spacing. Some other companies use smaller hole spacing but that limits what attachments you can use. This rack is a 2x2 with 1" hole spacing allowing you to mix and match other items from other brands onto this rack. Assembly was easy not only because this is my second one of these but because the instructions are easy to follow. I had this put together in about a half hour by myself. The photo I have included shows an inexpensive pulley system I added and also lever arms that I ordered separately which are just two of the many add ons you can use on this rack because its a 2x2 rack with 1" hole spacing. You could also add dip bars or use it as a barbell rack by adding additional j cups (sold separately).

Easy to set up. Reasonably stable. Works as advertised. A second set of J-hooks would make switching from squats to benchwork easier.

Was trying to decide between something like this and a full cage, and decided to try this out to save some room. I really like the extended spotting pins (they are longer than most out there for this price) and the j hooks are nice. Instructions were good, and it was boxed up/protected super well. The quality of the rack tho is definitely not commercial grade. I was tightening the bolts on the rack and once i had them down to probably about 30 ft lbs (estimating here) I thought it was strange that it wasn't getting any tighter-come to find out the frame was actually giving in a bit so i stopped! But, i kind of knew it going in that it wasn't going to be super sturdy, but it was on sale and figured for me being older it would be fine. Have done some incline benches with 135, squats with around 200, and its sturdy enough. Definitely wouldn't want to be throwing the back into the rack and getting aggressive with things like you can do with commercial quality stuff if that makes sense. But for the money it will work for me being an older guy! (plus it will probably keep me in check by not thinking I should be maxing out all the time!). The one thing that i thought was a bit disappointing were the plate holders on the side. Super small rod so not olympic bar size which is fine, but man they seem flimsy. (Made out of the same "metal" as the rack i assume. I have a 45 on each side to stabilize the rack, but i'm a bit worried to throw more on there as i think it will bend the holders!)

Hey, if you're a serious power lifter looking for sturdy, pro quality equipment definitely move on. This rack is not for you. But if you're looking for a decent home rack that gets the job done with moderate weights and at a reasonable price, this is a great deal! I paid $200, and also purchased the FLYBIRD Adjustable Multi-Purpose Foldable Incline Bench ($140). I ended up buying a 300-lb weight set (that included a 7-ft, 50-lb barbell) at Dicks for $300. So, for $640 I have a complete setup. ** This review should be read with knowledge that I am a small, 54 y/o guy (5'8", 150 lb) and don't load the rack up with tons of weight** The most I've loaded up the rack with is ~200 lbs. I'm lifting mostly to maintain muscle mass (and hopefully gain a little if possible). I (and my kids) have been using the setup now for ~2 months and all I can is that I am extremely pleased with the rack. Because I don't use heavy weights, I have also not tested the spotter arms with heavy weights. I'm not sure I would trust the arms with heavy weights. No way in hell would I trust them with the stated capacity of 900 lbs!!! Even though I don't use heavy weights, I'm considering adding custom-made vertical 2-in square steel support arms near the ends of the spotter arms for additional support. This would give me more peace of mind that they will definitely not give. But then I'd have to keep the spotter arms at the same height at all times, which is OK for my needs. The overall construction is a little flimsy. Again, we're not talking pro, gym-quality construction here. For example, you don't want to be dropping or otherwise crashing your bar into any part of this rack. Also, the top of the rack where the pull up bar is shakes a bit during use. While this bothered me at first, after a couple of months of use I'm neither bothered by it anymore nor concerned that the shaking compromises safety. But again, I'm not using heavy weights. I don't think I would feel safe using this rack with hundreds of pounds. But at the lighter weights I'm using (<200 lbs) I feel safe. Overall, as someone who is just trying to maintain my strength and muscle mass using lighter weights, this rack serves my needs perfectly. If I were younger and serious about lifting and gaining mass, I would definitely spend significantly more money on a serious pro-quality rack, or just join a gym.

We needed a stronger sturdier rack to hold our barbell. My teenage son lifts very heavy and our old one was starting to fall. I love the safety bars and the multi function uses.

I assembled this rack tonight and have not yet used it for a workout, but I have total confidence it will work well. My only criticism is that the vertical columns, which interlock and are held in place by bolts, are at about middle height so there are no holes for the racks in this area. This potentially could impact someone's ability to do bench presses. So, I was initially concerned that this would put the racks for bench too low, but I tried it out with a barbell, and it is fine for me - though it is about two inches lower than I am used to. Maybe its even better at this height. Assembly was not too difficult. The small parts come sealed in a well organized plastic container with a small wrench and two Allen wrenches provided. The instructions are adequate to get the job done.. Probably the best feature of the rack is that its width is adjustable. I had to deal with joists, ducts, pipes, and a light bulb in my basement, but I set the rack on #4 to avoid them. The manufacturer recommends setting the width at #5 or #6 for an olympic bar, but that seems too wide to me. Anyway, the #4 setting was a perfect fit, and if I put my head between the joists, I can even do pull ups now. The spotter arms are very solid, and the main reason I bought this rack. With the side weight holders loaded with 45's the rack is very steady. The landmine is a nice feature that I am looking forward to using.

Just buy it, and thank me later!
