Body-Solid Powerline Squat Rack (PSS60X), Gray

I initially bought this rack and it was shipped promptly. The rack is great and sturdy although light-weight and hence moves around a bit. As another reviewer as suggested, should be put against a wall to ensure you are racking the bar properly. For reasons not related this or to the quality of this product (which is excellent), I purchased a power rack from the same company (Body Solid Powerline) two weeks after purchasing this product. What I found surprising was that this product has almost the same foot-print as the power rack. If you were planning to save floor space by purchasing this squat rack, I would suggest you buy the power rack for a higher price and get the additional benefits of better safety and larger variation of exercises it allows. Of course it is obvious that the power rack is a lot taller and this unit is better for low ceilings. This may seem obvious but I hope this prevents somebody from making the same mistake I did! Otherwise, this is an excellent addition to a home gym.

I am one happy camper. i am really enjoying my squat rack. now i am able to squat heavy fro 20 reps. this is a good pieces of a equipment. thank you so much.

Sturdy as can be. However I'd recommend putting the back end of the feet against a wall or something or it can shift around a bit when you're putting the bar back on the rack after a heavy bench. Or at least have it on a rubber mat. It would be good to have a spotter with you so it doesn't tilt back if you slam your weight back on the rack so it doesn't tip over. If you're careful that's not an issue, or if you wanted to somehow bolt it into your floor. :)Also the height-adjust holes are spaced a little far apart so it's not that precise as to how you might like your benching, about 3 inches apart. I haven't tried it for squats yet. You'd definitely need a spotter for squats because obviously there's nothing to catch the weight for you if you can't stand back up with a heavy weight. It took me 15 minutes to put the thing together myself using 2 wrenches.For the price though it's definitely solid. You can get a Gold's Gym olympic 45# bar at Walmart for $45, same bar they use at normal gyms, and olympic plates are there too for about $0.80/pound or find them at Sports authority or something if they go on sale.

I ordered the PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack on February 28, and it arrived on March 7. Delivery was quick and everything was intact. Assembly was easy, it took about twenty-five minutes, and that's from a guy who's not good with tools. The squat rack worked great for almost three weeks. Two days ago, I lowered the columns to do some shoulder shrugs. Yesterday, I tried to raise the columns to do some bench-presses, but one of the columns got stuck. I tried to get it out, but it literally won't budge. I suppose I can still perform shrugs, but I didn't purchase the PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack just to do shrugs. It's useless to me now.I called Amazon and the young lady I spoke with sent WSports an email informing them of the situation. She told me that if WSports doesn't resolve the matter to my satisfaction then Amazon would. I called WSports directly and I was told to take a picture of the PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack illustrating the problem. I later received two emails from WSports informing me that as soon as I send the pictures a "request" for a refund or replacement will be processed. If my understanding of the word "request" is accurate, and I believe it is, then the "request" could very well be denied. I'm hoping that does not turn out to be the case. I will post again when this matter is resolved.As of now, I'm dissatisfied with this product.

I was very excited to receive this rack. After reading most reviews it seemed to be a good fit for my new home gym. After setup I was not entirely impressed. Here are the pros and cons:Pro:-Very simple setup, four bolts and done. Solid frame, clean look. Was able to easily assemble on my own in under 20 min.-Comes with a small canister of touch-up paint (which was needed right out of the box from shipping but that's part of the cons)-Small footprint, easily moved (that's a plus and minus) and can fit in almost any space.-Spacing between the columns are plenty wide, makes it able to do wide and narrow grips without issue for chest press. That was a big plus for me. I cannot stand racks that have the columns spaced exactly where you naturally want to place your hands on the bar.Con:-Not that shipping faults the product, but the box was very beat up and one of the column tops was sticking out of the box when received. Two of the pieces had broken free of their zip ties and were clanking around inside. Several areas had scratches and nicks in the paint. (Not a big deal but not a plus either)-Biggest gripe, the unit is just too light. After assembly I racked a 45lb barbell with two 35lb weights and slid my bench in place. I was only going to test my arm stretch to make sure I set the columns at a proper height but decided to do a few light reps. When I finished I went to place the bar back and nearly lost my grip as the rack tilted backwards when I hit the backing of the placement holders. Also, the holders themselves are very narrow, not allowing a lot of movement when returning an olympic bar.I was not using heavy weight and I did not slam the bar into the rack. I was very surprised how easily the rack is tilted and moved.-This unit would benefit greatly to a simple design inclusion of pegs to place weights on the front legs. With how light the unit is I'm very surprised this was not part of the design. I can lean 45's over them but it's not as reliable and takes from the look (pegs are safer and cleaner)I was very tossed on a two or three star review and I ultimately went with three because it's still a functional rack. Users just need to be even more cautious than usual while lifting and returning weights. However if I would have been able to test this rack prior to purchase, I never would have bought it.
