REP Fitness PR-1100 Power Rack review

A power rack is what turns a garage corner into a real strength gym, because its safeties let you squat and bench heavy with nobody spotting you. The PR-1100 is REP Fitness's entry rack, and it covers that job well for $379.99 with free shipping. It is built from 2x2 inch, 14-gauge steel, rated for 700 lbs, and measures 85 inches tall, 58.1 inches wide and 48.5 inches deep. Extended chrome safeties catch a missed lift, J-cups are lined with plastic to protect the bar, and the uprights are numbered so you can set heights quickly. The multi-grip pull-up bar can mount upside down to lower the rack for short ceilings. REP sells add-ons for dips, lat pulldowns, low rows and landmine work. The limits: hole spacing is 3 inches, so bench height choices are coarser than on pricier racks, REP advises against banded work because the 130 lb rack can tip, and the bar, plates and bench cost extra.

Who it is for

Garage lifters who want to squat and bench heavy safely on their own.
