An excellent base to build a home-gym around
By Ben Richardson
I use the F430 as the center of my home-gym in combination with a Bodycraft F320 adjustable bench. The two killer applications of a power rack like this one are safety and versatility.Safety is provided in the form of being able to set the safety-bars at an appropriate level such that a bar cannot descend beyond the place you wish it to when performing exercises underneath load, for example, bench press, overhead press and squat.Versatility in that with a power rack, bench, bar and weights there is no body part that cannot be trained. For example, Bench (Chest), Pull-up or Row (Back), Curls / French Presses (Arms), Squats (Legs), Stiff Leg Deadlift (Hamstrings, Glutes, Low Back)Unlike a smith-machine, the bar is not limited to a single plane of motion and unlike a squat rack, the safeties can be set to any level rather than just that suitable for squatting. Unlike a bench and stands arrangement, well, you have safeties, which are the most reliable spotters in the world.I've been using this power rack for almost 3 years at time of writing, and expect to be able to use it indefinitely such is the quality of construction. I cancelled my gym-membership after 3 months of owning this and don't expect to ever re-subscribe. Major plus points are:+ The safety-bars and bar-catchers have a very quick and easy to use quick release / quick lock system, much preferable to a sliding bar as used by some other racks+ The holes in the uprights are narrowly spaced, allowing for small adjustments that enable a preferred dead position to be set+ The rack has a built-in straight chinning bar (visible in the picture at the front and top)+ The footprint and height make it suitable for use in indoor environments where space is limited+ There are dipping bar (F432), crossover station (F434) and lateral pulley (F431) attachments available for the rack, with plate-loading, that considerably expand the range of exercises possibleMinor niggles are:- The bar-catchers face only one way, into or out of the power rack, and this cannot be adjusted without re-assembly. So if you want to have bar-catchers to hold a bar outside the rack, for example to perform overhead presses outside of the rack, you need a second pair. My solution was to have a second pair (F433), such that the uprights at the front and the back both hold a set of bar-catchers. I recommend getting that second pair to start with, rather than waiting to see if you'll find a use, so that you avoid the need to re-assemble- Oddly, the holes in the uprights are not numbered. Without numbers it can be tricky to set the safeties at the same level. This is very easily solved by taking a permanent marker and writing on numbers yourself however

Great product - almost perfect
By South West shooter
I have had the rack for over 4 months now. I deliberated for a long time over which power rack to buy. Choices were the F430, Powertec and Powerline PPR200X. Decided to go for the F430 because of the dimensions, build quality and design even though it is 'only' rated at 800 pounds vs the 1000 of the Powertec. I am chuffed at the purchase and would make the same decision again. Unless you are a seasoned pro than this is the finest rack in its class.Pluses-- quality steel build.- great weighty feel compared to competitors.- pop pins.- dimensions. Is deeper than the Powerline and Powertec but footprint feels small.- looks like a commercial rack. Much better than in the photos where it can look somewhat toy like.- small spacings between holes.- straight chin up bar. Not diamond knurled which I prefer.- feels very safe.- optional attachments.However ther are a few design niggles which prevent it from getting a perfect score.Minuses:- there is a plastic lip/casing over each J-hook which is far too easy to catch when resting the barbell. I feel this will wear the plastic out over time but more importantly you may think you have seated the barbell only for it to slide off the lip and crash onto the hook.- pop pins are a little thin. I have no reason to believe I have to be worried in the slightest but slightly thicker ones or maybe 2 per J-hook would have added more comfort.- whilst sturdy, there is definitely more lateral give than in any other direction.- optional dip bars are placed too close to the end of the 'safety' therefore my shoulder will hit a resting barbell (I'm 5 ft 10 inches) when performing dips inside rack. However I understand that a more central placement on the safety would sacrifice stability/capacity.I know some reviewers have criticised the fact that you cannot change whether the J-hooks face inside or out without de-assembling the top structure of the rack but its not an issue for me as I bought an extra set. Besides it feels safer knowing that the J-hooks cannot accidentally come off.I also like that the designers have modified the design so that there is an inbuilt J-hook on each safety on the outside of the rack. However in practice its not as well thought out as it could have been because the pop pin gets in the way when trying to seat a barbell.I'm a perfectionist so have probably been somewhat harsh on these small niggles but for me its still a must buy rack and very much recommended- just read the great acclaim it's received.
