Merax Athletics Fitness Power Rack Olympic Squat Cage Home Gym

Packing and Delivery "5-year plan" It arrived a day early in two separate boxes In good condition, every box weighed about 70 pounds, and there were no external signs of shipping damage. Nothing in the boxes jostled around as I moved them to their assembly location. Upon opening the boxes, I found the parts tightly packed in plastic sleeves, each wrapped in its own plastic bag. As I inspected the boxes I found that all the parts were in order according to the The ease of assembly is a 5-star rating**** The unit was assembled by me alone in approximately 2 hours, with a few breaks along the way. There are 17 threads on all the nuts and bolts Each bolt is available in 4 different lengths with millimeter heads. Being the mother of two 17-year-old girls While millimeter socket wrenches will make assembly faster, a box wrench and adjustable wrench combo will work fine. When you inventory the boxes, use a pencil to mark the boxes with the inventory number. Mark the bags of nuts and bolts with a permanent There was a nice touch in the bag where the nuts, bolts, and washers were already assembled, so the grab bolt was all you had to do, no hunting for Each of the four assembly instructions is four pages long and shows, with a diagram, how to assemble the parts and what screws With the remaining 3 pages, you start on the bottom and work up, the final step is the cable routing, which was made easy by labeling the bags and parts with the inventory number. You need a little room for play in order to connect some of the parts when assembling the unit. Don't overtighten the bolts and nuts until all the parts are connected. A performance rating of 5 for performance The reason I purchased the unit was to be able to use a barbell without the need for Adding a pullup bar, a lat pulldown, and a low pull attachment make this a great exercise. The unit was used in three workout sessions using all its components and its ROCK SOLID base. Over the past few days, I've banged around with a 190-pounder Pullups, Lat pulldowns, low pull rows, bi and tri curls, and dips were all done with a 10-pound barbell. The unit never left me feeling unsafe or considering it to be a risk. There is only one minor criticism the Lat and Low pully system only offers about 85% of the smoothness you would find in a gym, but I plan to add some lithium grease to the pully rail which should lead to an improvement.

This package includes In addition to the cage arriving in two separate boxes, each post came with a plastic sleeve to prevent scratching. It comes in bags with bolts and washers attached to the bolts, but they make it so simple by wrapping nuts and washers around A single bolt size is used by the cage, while the rest of the hardware is used by the pulley system. Quite simple, and even some of the mever could not figure out if the bolts were the right ones. This assembly requires This rack was built in a little over 2 hours over the course of no hurry. To build this, you will need a minimum of two adjustable wrenches. A rachet and socket set will make the job much faster, however I do not recommend using power tools, only hand tools are recommended. The steel could very easily be bent if you over tightened it with a drill motor. As well as a stepping stool, you will need a stability bar. I found the instructions to be very straight forward and comprehensive, laid out step by step. The nuts and bolts are clearly labeled on the hardware card that comes attached to them, so you do not have to guess what they are for. According to the instructions, for pulling the pulleys into the direction that we need them to run and installing them in, a number is listed on the label. My exercise mat did not get laid out on the floor first, so I had to build it on the floor after all. )
Recall Qualities I found the product to be excellent value for what it is and what it costs. There are no cracks in the welds, and the steel is durable. Obviously something got scraped across both bottom posts at the same time while they were sitting next to each other. This was caused by the manufacturer, not by shipping. But I'm gonna beat the paint up myself, so it doesn't make a big deal for me. The first thing I want to discuss is what I don't like. Knobs on the pulls are knurled There is a little too much aggressiveness in the up bar, so I might sand it down a little bit. It's not true* As it comes, the cable system is a little rough, but it becomes a lot smoother with a little grease applied to the pulleys and sled. Please note that When the barbell is racking, it rolls after the bar supports are angled down. I will invest in a pair of J hooks once I see how safe they are. There's not much more to it than that. At this point, those are the only criticisms I have. I am in love with this rack. As a substitute for going to the gym, I put it in the spare bedroom in my apartment and have been using it pretty much every day since. Having the lat pull down and the low rows are fabulous accessories while keeping my bedroom gym tidy and compact. The number of accessories it comes with is fantastic, I bought a Valor Fitness BD-BX Rack to go with it. The CC2 protocol. To go along with it, you can purchase a cable crossover attachment and As well as the pull-up bar, I got a multi grip bar, but I will have to drill holes to install it, and it was a bit too high for my ceiling, so I will be sending it I'll leave you with these final words If you have a home gym, you are going to love this. Having used this cage for years, I'm confident I will get years of use out of it. EDITOR'S NOTE In the past I claimed to have hardware on a card. In fact it is in bags, not on a card. mixed up my weight bench with the bench for my running machine,.

2 pages of instructions are included, as well as 2 pages of parts listing. It would be better for the builder to make sure that the nuts and bolts are labelled in their bags before starting the project.

I made a mistake As I installed them, I had them facing the wrong way. There were some issues with the picture, but I wasn't worried about fixing them. My unit had to be moved by myself into my garage by myself, so I'm writing this as my own account. I wouldn't recommend a single man lift as it isn't too heavy for me. But a two man lift would be better. Move the unit slowly and don't drag it All in all, you will need both a socket wrench with a 17mm socket and an adjustable wrench in order to assemble the.
