Review on Maximize Your Home Gym With BangTong&Li'S Adjustable Weight Rack - 550Lbs Capacity by Scott Hall

I wasn't quite sure if I would be pleased with this home unit, but I am. My first question concerns the cross member bar that was added for structural support. It is in the way of a smooth motion when lifting if you are someone that prefers to back into and under the weight bar. Your calf muscles will be touching the cross bar and you will not be directly under the bar unless your posture is straight up. It just does not feel right. If you face the rack, there is no problem. The cross bar would be best serving if it were placed on the floor under the triangular supports with adjusting knob facing up of course. This looks like an easy modification if you are someone that is power tool friendly. The steel tubing is light and will take little effort to drill through. A drill press would be best for straight drilling to the opposite side of tube for bolt length. The structure of this unit is sound and strong. No wobbling or shaking on my carpeted floor. This is a light weight unit and is best used for those of us that are not power lifters. My needs will be less then 200lbs. The cross member bar measured from the top of bar to the floor is 14-1/2in. I was worried that my bench would not fit over the cross bar, but things worked out great. If your bench has a raising back rest and the legs of your bench fit under the cross bar you are in luck. Simply raise the back rest of your bench, slide legs under cross bar and lay bench back rest on cross bar. Your in business. This will give you the support you need for performing bench presses. The drop rack/curl bar rest is fixed but is just right for my arm length and is not a problem. I would have liked them being adjustable but what the heck. This unit cost less then $100. and is the perfect size for my office/gym room. I am pleasantly surprised and pleased. I would recommend this product to anyone who is a beginning weight lifter or someone just looking to do a little strength training.
