Description
Why we picked it
A first rack for a spare room or apartment: someone lifting well under 300 lb who wants a safe place to squat, bench and do pull-ups for the price of a pair of plates.
What to know before you buy
The listed 300 lb capacity and 30-day warranty make it a starter rack only; it needs plates on the storage pegs to stop wobble, and spotter/safety catches cost extra (~$40), so plan to outgrow it if you get strong.
