Note to PR-4000 viewers: at 0:23 he mentions using "a 36 socket." I assume he means a 36mm socket which may be the case for a PR-5000 but for the 4000 you will want a 15/16" (or 23.83 mm) socket for assembly.
Video was a lifesaver as I'm putting together my PR-5000. Dan, couldn't help but think that you wouldn't have needed that step-stool if you and Matt had swapped roles while attaching the pull-up bar and logo plate!
I recommend using a box wrench instead of a crescent for the Logo Crossmember. A crescent wrench will not fit inside the cut out for the top hole on the Logo Crossmember, a box wrench fits perfectly.
Just assembled my PR-4000. This video made it pretty simple. Like another post, it took longer to remove everything from the packaging than it did to assemble. Thanks.
Life saver! Watching this video it made 100000000x's better to install this. I just got the pr4000 and Lat attachment and it took me around 2 and half hours. I think it took me longer to see where I wanted to place the actual machine then to build it! Thank you! amazing video! Remember you need a 24mm socket for the pr 4000
@@rebuildingrocketships So true! A ton of boxes! Did you get the front extensions? I did! I might return them if I can. this rack does not move at all.
@@Mexi99 I did along with the spotter arms, iso arms, lat / low, and two extra extension posts for weight storage. This rack ain’t going to budge without the front extension legs! I suspected it’s more of a hassle to return tho so I’ll hang on to them for a bit and if I don’t need / want them I’ll try to sell locally. I worry I’m going to trip over them 😂
@@rebuildingrocketships Yea.. I'll probably try and sell my safety spotter arms and the front stabilizers. pretty much useless since i have the flip down safeties and getting hit with the 15% returning fee isn't worth returning at that poiint im losing money
It’s already been said but I’m here to reiterate. The 5000 rack might need a “36 socket” (36 mm) but the bolts for the 4000 rack use a 24 mm socket. If you don’t already have this size socket at home (I did not) just take a bolt with you to the store to verify the size.
I love seeing the 4000 in stock throughout the day. That tells me I'll easily be able to grab one when I'm ready. Blue uprights and gloss black crossmembers. Now I just need to start seeing the bumper plates or sport plates in stock. You'd think it'd be the opposite.
no longer in stock. LOL. I've been waiting to make sure I can budget for it the past 3 days...and on the day I was going to purchase.....NOT IN STOCK NO MORE :(
The PR-4000 is in stock now at www.repfitness.com/strength-equipment/power-racks/pr-4000-series/pr-4000-power-rack. We'd recommend you act fact as this is one of our best-selling racks!
To everyone wondering when the item will be in stock I would reccomend buying the parts separately. You do pay roughly almost $100+ (i could be off on the math so my bad). Since everyone is making a gym garage/basement most if not all companies are sold-out/back-ordered but they do sell the parts separately still. Just don't make the same mistake I did and buy 8 crossmembers size 41" for a six-post-rack... make sure you have your rear crossmembers as a 16".... other than that I'm glad this video is available because I haven't seen anyone else put up an assembly for the PR-5000 v2.
Great tip - We're excited that we're able to offer that option to buy the rack components individually. Not only does that allow you to get pieces as they come in stock during such high demand, but it also opens up the door for future upgrades to your configuration!
@@REPfitness 4real I've been doing that and I pretty much got all my equipment and by observing the ETA List/ IG Updates. Most of my equipment was shipped together. I just placed another order 2min ago 🏋🏾♂️🤙🏾
Nice video. That was a great tip to use the pull-up bar as a spacer for the bottom feet. You can also use 2x4’s cut at the same length as the pull-up bar in case the bottom moves. Or cut at 41-3/8” if you are getting the belt squat along with the power rack.This would be an 1/8” wider than the belt squat attachment and ensure a nice fit. For those getting the belt squat I would also suggest moving the bottom cross members as far up as possible. This will ensure alignment of the holes.
We always recommend to bolt the rack down but the bigger the footprint the more stale your rack will be. If working on the outside of the rack we suggest adding the front foot extensions- if you dont have weight horns on the back of the rack we also suggest bolting the rack down or having front foot extensions so the rack wont tip over.
The nuts are a bit different in the pr 4000 I just received. I'm assuming they are meant to eliminate the need for the locking washer but I can't seem to hand tighten them. Is this normal?
I really don’t plan on bolting into the concrete so is there a way I can secure it without bolting? Like do I need plywood or something underneath and bolt into that? If so, what exactly should I get? Also, when will the front foot extensions be back in stock in case I do need it?
I know this is an old comment and you’ve probably figured this out by now but for other people that may pass by this in the future here’s what I’ve found if you don’t want to bolt it down. If you have the 41” rack it should be stable enough without the feet IF YOU ARE NOT going to lift outside the rack with safety spotter arms. If you have the six post configuration, it’s supposedly sturdy enough to lift outside even without front feet, especially if you’re actually using the extension for weight storage. Still not sure I’d feel comfortable doing so. The big takeaway is that with a 41” depth rack the real question is will you be squatting outside the rack with spotter arms? If no, you’re probably good to go. If yes, you probably at least want the legs. The rear base stabilizer seems to only be needed with smaller configurations or with the lat pull-down/low row attachment.
Could I technically lower the top crossmembers by like 3-4 holes? I have a 94 inch ceiling so I wouldnt be able to mount the multi grip pullupbar. I dont like the upside down mounted pullupbar since I want to be able to do ultra wide grip pullups. The 80 inch rack is too short for me to do standing OHP.
Just assembled mine today. One issue: I can’t find a way to tighten the upper bolts for the nameplate, there’s not enough space for an adjustable wrench to reach the nuts inside of the nameplate. I have to order a 36mm wrench for them.
You can use some shims (many stores sell them) to level out any uprights that may not hit the ground. It's also important to put the rack together with bolts loosened, find a spot you want to set the rack, then tighten them all down. This will help with keeping the rack level.
Here are the instructions: help.repfitness.com/article/76-pr-5000-v2-assembly-instructions As far as tightening the bolts, go a quarter turn past where it feels tight. Do not overtighten the bolts as you can bend the steel and these 1" bolts are secured with the washers as well.
Honest question.. why do you need a 6 post set up for weight storage? That seems unnecessary. Cant you just put weight horns on the back posts of a 4 post setup?? Thanks!
Hey Joseph - it would interfere with the plates on a loaded bar when working inside the rack. For a faster response, drop us a line here or give us a ring - Thanks! - repfitness.com/pages/contact-us
I'm rearranging my home gym and what kind of tools do you use to take the pull up bar down? I'm putting a wall mounted cable pulley system up and moving my rep 5000 power rack.
Hey Johnny, best to reach out to our customer support team (phone/email/chat/text) at the bottom of our site and they can get back to you with specifics.
When assembling should the numbers on the 4000 be placed facing me? And should this be done for all posts? I ask, as this determines where the holes end up inward or outward for bolting the bottom posts to the ground.
"We do offer the rear base stabilzer" No, no you dont. Its been out of stock forever and the eta date has changed like 20 times already. Latest was 2/2-2/8.....now 2/15. Can't wait to see it change again!
We understand the frustration here - unfortunately, we've had to update some of our ETAs due to unexpected delays in our supply chain. We update our ETA page daily to reflect the current situation based on these factors. Please email info@repfitness.com if you have additional questions.
So the PR 5000 is the same as PR 5000v2. I built my rack at rep fitness its a pr5000. Iam a little confused I chose the 80" rack and 30" if I buy lat pull down attachment and stabilizer I won't need to bolt it down correct?? Will the rogue leverage arms work on this rack? OK this is my dilemma.🙄 I currwntly have this set up PRX wall rack and separate valor lat pull down machine, separate rogue pull up bar, separate rogue band station with matador dip attachment and landmine (this is what I currently have right now) and many of other things.. I want the rogue arms so for that I will have to get another rack I think so I been looking at the one mentioned avobe..now if I get the pr5000 with lat pull down, rogue leverage arms, dip, land mind and pull up bar attachments I can sell all my other stuff and this way I will have everything consolidated in one rack..don't know if I will like everything cramped up in one place though🤔🤔. Or maybe just replace prx wall rack with rogue wall rack and keep everything else in separate stations like I have it now??🤔🤔

Dan is putting together a PR-5000 in the video, which uses a 36. The title includes PR-4000 because it's the same steps, but the PR-4000 does use a 24. Hope that helps explain that. Apologies on the double trip.
