At Garage Gym Reviews, we test a lot of squat racks. But, they're almost always above $1,000 starting price. So, at the request of you guys, we're working on reviewing cheaper stuff.
Such as this, the Fitness Reality 810XLT Squat Rack that is the cheapest power rack I could find on Amazon.
Is it cheap? Yes...
Is it good? Eh...
However, what I've found for our Fitness Reality 810XLT Squat Rack review is that it just works. And sometimes, that's enough.

Not true lots of people benching 400lbs plus now, squats 600lbs plus abs deadlifts 600-700lba plus and that’s the weaker the guys. You also got lifts like rack pulls which you typically add more weight then your max deadlift as well.

I honestly respect Coop for doing videos like these that show people how pretty much no one NEEDS 11 to 7 gauge 3'x3' racks. You're never going to compromise the integrity of the steel. Now if you WANT a 7 or 11 gauge 3'x3' then that's perfect, just don't go telling novices that they need Rogue everything for their home gyms.

@SirSketchable Год назад

@justincider8892 3 месяца назад

I have used this rack in the video for 5 years. It's fine. There are some issues. The J hooks that came with mine are a little different, but they're bare metal. Meaning that over the years I have grinded off material from the rack (and probably my bar) when re-racking a squat and bench. This is also incompatible with most attachments since they are made for 3x3 racks. This rack is also short. I cannot pin press with this. The pull up handles are too low for me. I have to bend my knees so my feet are behind me to do pull ups. I'm happy to have something, but after 5 years I want something nice. So, I'm getting a REP rack.

@Flopolapagus 3 года назад

For anyone buying this rack. Make sure you get the same brand attachments. The hulk fit ones are a bit different, as the bars on top are different and also the hulk fit has different vertical posts (2.5x2.5) so not all attachments such as j hooks will fit unless you get them custom from the same company

I bought this rack in 2017 and have used it ever since. it has survived 400lb squat bails, a 600lb rack pull fail, and NUMEROUS bench mishaps. Beyond this I made a risky call a few years back and removed the top bracing because I redid my basement and it wouldn't fit if I kept it. It STILL has yet to fail. I cannot believe the value I have gotten out of this rack, and I am now hesitant to get rid of it now that I have MULTIPLE better racks in my garage, purely for sentimental reasons. It receives my highest recommendation for a dirt cheap rack that I got for just under 300 dollars.

I'm from Argentina and I have a squat rack made locally that costs about 60 dollars I think(it's hard to remember prices with this much inflation), it has hooks that have a bolt welded to it and you secure it in place with a butterfly nut on the other side, it has 5 heights and it's everything I need so why ask for more, much cheaper than a power cage, although if I was able import this I would it looks pretty nice.

@SpiritMadeSteelDojo 3 года назад

I bought one of these racks about two years ago. I'd wanted a rack in the garage for a long time, and I'd been looking. But all the racks I saw were either $700+ or they looked like they'd fall over if you breathed on them. I was super broke at the time - all my money was tied up in my dojo - so a $700 was just plain not going to happen. I saw this one and thought, "that actually looks solid enough to use." Bought it, tried it out, and for the price, I've been extremely happy with it. I bench 300+ and squat almost 400, and this rack holds up just fine to those numbers. It's a tad bit wobbly at times, but never enough that I have any worries that it will fall over on me. Also, one thing Coop didn't mention - the pull up bars are quite stable. I've owned cheap "power tower" pull-up bars in the past and they always flexed under my weight, which made pull-ups hard. This thing doesn't budge when I'm doing pull-ups, which is great. Will I be upgrading to a better rack as soon as I can afford it? Absolutely, I will. But in the meanwhile, I can enjoy having a rack at the house, not spending money to go to a gym, and continuing to get stronger. And, honestly, I won't be upgrading to a cheaper Rogue or Rep rack, either, because it's not worth it. This one will do just fine until I can afford a Rogue Monster or comparable rack. Honestly, I saw the title and I was a bit afraid Coop was going to trash it. But his review was spot on. If you can afford better, get better. But if your money is super tight, but you still really, really want a rack, this is actually a solid buy.

@PiMp RoOsTa Well, since I've had my own home gym for the last three years, I'm well aware. But I also remember what it was like when I was buying stuff. You spend a lot of money but you can't lift until you get one or two more things, like a rack. It's frustrating, so something inexpensive that can hold up might be what gets someone training, which is better than them waiting to buy top-tier stuff and never getting around to lifting.

I'm one of those gym goers that was desperate for a rack after the gyms shut down last year. I ended up buying this rack, but at the height of price gouging last year, I saw even Amazon was selling these for 600 a pop. It's great the see the prices finally come down. I ended up getting the pull down assembly, which works well. Anyway, it's a great budget rack that fits pretty much every attachment for a 2x2 with 1 in holes. I ended up getting weight plate holders and threw my 45's on them. The rack doesn't budge if you use the weight plate holders. I was a little iffy on the small J-cups, so I went ahead and upgraded the Jcups. Overall, it works great in the garage. Also got the landmine attachment, which is great. It will be fine for most lifters. Kinda wanted to see that drop test though. I mean I'm never going to lift 900 lbs, but it would be interesting to see how it holds up.

@@exxingo Yes. That landmine Johann mentioned is the one I wanted, but fitness reality accessory bundle was out of stock at the time last year. I ended up getting the YES4ALL version, which is similar, but works fine. If the FR is there, it' probably slightly better. I did get the FR dip attachments and added 2 sets of weight holders (forgot the brands, but they all work). Fortunately, Amazon has a lot of 2x2 compatible accessories so pretty much most accessories work since the hole and spacing is standard. Just check reviews to make sure. I even saw 2x2 jammer arms at one point. Sometimes you have to be patient though as stock comes and goes.

Yep. Much better to buy a cheaper rack and use the money saved for a better bar and plates. Weight may be weight, but the wholes on cheap plates can really dig up a barbell sleeve if you don't file them down first. And you need to weigh them and mark them to get close on each side of the bar.

0:48 That's honestly pretty impressive I work at a Walmart distribution center and sometimes we have to put these kinds of racks on our pallets and even with two people these things feel unbelievably heavy. We have what I call 4 weight categories light, medium weight, team lift and mechanical lift. Team lifts can already be a pain to deal with but mechanical lift boxes are dreadful and the fact that you could drag it, lift it and walk a few steps with it is impressive on its own.

@rinkuhero 2 года назад

i looked up its weight on amazon and it's 130 pounds. that is heavy but it surprises me it requires a machine to lift, like i know most people don't lift that much in a box very easily but people in the army can lift 130 pounds just as a basic training strength test. the box weighs as much as a normal weight (or on the light side) woman, and most men can like, carry their wife over the threshold after marriage (traditionally) for a few steps.

@ihswap 2 года назад

@9λ I used to squat 3 plates and I'm not even that strong. I still think the box carry is way more impressive than a demonstration with 4 plates.

@ihswap 2 года назад

@@rinkuhero Nah the weight on alot of the boxes is straight up wrong. Idk how its even legal but I can attest that the weight is wrong. I once had a box with two 30lbs plates so 60lbs in total and the weight showed up ad 30 lbs. Or we can lift a box that says its 120 lbs like its nothing but then we get a box that says 140 and it's really hard to lift. A lot of heavy object also have the same 130-140 lb range on the labels but they're all clearly heavier you'll NEVER see anything that weighs over 150lbs for some reason when alot of items clearly do. My guess is that it's to cut cost for the manufacturer.

@rinkuhero 2 года назад

@@ihswap makes sense, i think there may be limits on the weight of something that can be shipped, like usps you can't mail something over 70 pounds, ups and fed ex probably have their own limits, so perhaps sometimes they show the weight as less than it actually is to get around that

The people that made this thing seem to know what they're doing as far as the rack attachment. It would be super convenient but if you get thr version with the rack, plus the optional safety bars, barbell and plate holders and the flooring... it's like $3500. A huge investment for something that is still in preproduction and doesn't yet have reviews.
