R1-V4 Power Cage Rack, 2000LB Squat Rack with Cable Crossover System, Multi-Function Weight Cage, Home Gym Workout Machine with More Training Attachments

This was a perfect purchase, and served me very well for my home gym. Here's an in depth review of this product. Cons: 1) So to start off, unfortunately, this product came with 4 missing small pieces when I bought it. As a result, I couldn't setup the pulley system and the pullup bar, for a couple of weeks, until they reshipped the missing pieces to me, all the way from China. This took a couple weeks. 2) One of the outside spotter arms was too tightly inserting into the rack, and chipping off some paint in the process. They reshipped this, and again, the same issue occurred again in the reshipment. As a result, they once again, reshipped it to me, and finally the spotter arm inserted, not too tightly into the rack. This whole process took approximately 1.5 month. To compensate for all of waiting I had to do, and the repainting (with spray paint), they gave me a $30 refund. So my total purchase cost went from $330 to $300. 3) The assembly took a very long time. It wasn't necessarily a hard assembly, but the instruction manual wasn't very easy to understand (it was just a bunch of diagrams and rough sketches as steps, with no written instructions), and as a result it took a long time to read the instructions, understand them, and execute (and I was making sure to be extra careful, checking both the amazon pictures, and the manual many times before proceeding. The pro though is they do provide all the tools you need for assembly. 4) Some of the parts they gave you, which you need to assemble the power rack didn't have their screws completely tightened. This wasn't a huge deal, as I don't think the screws being fully tightened was a necessity for those parts (such as the j hooks and the outside spotter arms), but having your own hex wrench set + manual screw drivers can help in this situation to optimize the tightness of these screws. 5) The plate holders are basically useless, so don't count on the plate holders as being a reason you bought this power rack. The upper two plate holders, while they can hold plates, they get in the way of your core lifts, such as your bench press and your squat, so I just unscrewed them. The lower two plate holders, also get in the way of your bench press and squat, but you can use them to hold just your small 2.5 pound plates, as those won't get in the way of your core lifts, and thats what I used them for. Pros: Despite all the cons I mentioned above, I still am rating this 5 stars for a reason. I think this was a wonderful purchase, especially for the price I paid for it (300 dollars). It works very well. 1) Excellent dip and pullup bar. I can do pullups and dips with them and it doesn't feel wobbly or dangerous. 2) The pulley system is solid and works well. 3) The spotter arms work very well and can hold lot of weight 4) The manufacturer, while it may take a bit of time to get it done, will get around to replacing and resending any parts which you don't have, or that don't work well. 5) This manufacturer gives A LOT of free attachments in this purchase. I got 6 free olympic barbell clips, a wide lat pulldown handle, a narrow straight bar handle, a chain to help offset the lat pulldown handle for kneeling cable crunches, 3 snap hooks for your cable system, a tricep rope, and a T-bar row handle. I'm pretty sure it would have cost much more to buy these things individually from amazon, than just with the power rack purchase. 6) This power rack can hold A LOT of weight. Now, if you're a professional bodybuilder or powerlifter or something, this is likely not for you, but if you're just an average recreational lifter who dreams of reaching classic benchmarks of a 225 pound bench press, 315 pound squat, and a 405 pound deadlift, this power rack is probably perfect for you. So far, I'm quite happy with this power rack. I will edit my review if anything changes in the future.

Good product. Unit is stable, not difficult to set up. Plate rack/holder are solid. The unit does shift side to side slightly, but no safety concerns. The pulley system is smooth and weight slider is plastic on metal, so far no issue. Had a shipping issue and Amazon/Company corrected immediately.

I was very pleased with the C1–V4 power cage. Extremely well-engineered. Very Strong. The entire frame is surprisingly rigid, with all the well-detailed bolted connections, acting as if they have been welded in place! I spent a couple of days reviewing many similar systems, and seemed to have lucked out with both the equipment and the vendor, very well. Although the included instructions and material list are spartan, they were easy enough to understand. Just take your time, and don't get in a hurry, and double check every assembly step that you make. Easy Peazy! I have been quite experienced and successful power lifter. However, due to my age (80+) it is unlikely that I'll ever put more than 200 pounds on the pulley system, and no more than 300 pounds on the rack itself. But, there is no doubt that the cage will handle it, and more, very well without flexing or undue stress on the cable system. I made two mistakes in the assembly, which were my fault, because I didn't look at the instructions closely enough. However, fixing the problem took an extra 20 minutes. I assembled it by myself in about 3 hours. All hardware was included, and all the bolts came with lock nuts! Some of the other buyer comments about the attachments being too weak, were based on obviously improper user assembly or installation. Had they looked at the drawings more carefully and with a bit more common sense, they could have assembled it correctly, the first time. One single small part (plastic) arrived broken. I contacted the seller via the Amazon text portal. Received a response in less than eight hours. I sent a couple of pictures along with my text to them. They recognize the problem immediately and they were quite apologetic, and said that they would resolve it as quickly as possible. The next day, they sent me confirmation that the resolution procedure was in progress and told me that the part would be shipped directly from the factory in China to my house in about two weeks, since the American distributor does not stock spare parts. The following day, they sent me the shipping information. Sure enough, the part arrived 13 days later. I installed the new part in five minutes. You will need to purchase an adjustable bench without a weight rack, a barbell bar, and dumbbell bars with collars, and the weights themselves (200-250 lbs, graduated from 5 lbs to 25-35 lbs) to complete the use of the gym. I bought all used bars and weights, and couldn't be more pleased with the entire set up.

Cage was easier to put together than I first thought looking at the directions (no words, just diagrams). It seems nice and sturdy but the weight holder has already broken (same day). Do not put heavy weights to hang on it. Lots of attachments. In think it is fairly good value for the price.

Great rack for the money! It was the perfect addition to my home gym. Well built and used daily.
