Alright folks, I talked PRx into dropping 500+ LB on their beloved Profile PRO Folding Rack, but, I didn't stop there. No sir. I put their entire team in a head lock until they finally relented and said, "okay Coop, you win, we'll give away one of the craziest racks we've ever done..."
A Kryptek Camo Cerakote Folding Pro Rack. You're welcome.
So, do you think the rack held up...or not?

@martinkulik9466 4 жыл бұрын

I was always one of the most intensely working out person in a gym (thanks to my high adrenaline levels that were killed by a doctor as I later found out) and I can tell you, in order to be fit is not to hit these weights these guys are doing which are more detrimental than beneficial, so to tell you, the more important is to stretch and squeeze and hit the muscle from as many angles as possible, because to squat these weights with minimum of supportive exercises done that u can do on power rack has no benefits for joints longevity and it's all done for ego and numbers. I have a power rack and I only speculate how could I mod it to use different exercises, but I am stuck without wielding machine or some saw and tools, so you can do only as much. so u squatting 135lbs is probably better than these guys squatting tripple with never hitting their hamstring, side glutes, abductors, adductors and host of other muscles they have underdeveloped in connection to the ones they work most

@martinkulik9466 4 жыл бұрын

and the same goes for the host. you can tell he isn't using supportive exercises to the fullest benefit and even tho I mostly used heavy dumbells for my exercises and barbell for squats and lounges, the only machine if I can pick one, I would choose his functional cable trainer with two handles on each side and no power rack. and for squats and chest, I would get some cheap stands for barbell. and you would be much more better off with functionality, range of exercises, better joint health than with those expensive rpower acks that you can do 3 exrecise at most.

Looks like the only lesson to be learned from this is that the equipment will handle it. Installation will be the weak point. Make sure you have it anchored properly.

Glad to see the transparency about the bolt coming loose from the wall. Given that you could see the amount of drywall it pulled out as dust, it didn't seem like it was anchored well into a stud. Leave it to you to get a company to test something like that, but it speaks volumes about the product!

It’s a great product. It held up well. This was extreme and as such there was mild jostling and loss of a bolt but I think in a home setup this would rarely happen. I’m sure PRx would even replace the part affected. They are a great company!

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzfaq.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

I think the fact that if folds up rather than to the inside/outside helps because it can “bounce” a bit up instead of only the anchors absorbing the full impact.

I purchased a set of these spotter arms about 2 years ago. First off they were quite a bit cheaper than Rogue. Which was a big bonus considering at the time I could not find them anywhere else for the 1" hole 3x3 size. But second, they are built like a tank! I wld never need them for a 500lb drop, but it's nice to know that they could handle it. I cover them briefly in one of my garage gym reviews on my channel if anyone wants to check them out in the 3x3 monster rack size.

I have a suggestion for an other drop test: For home gyms with limited space and budget, I have sometimes heard the idea just to hang power straps (like those from spud: www.spud-inc-straps.com/suspension-straps.html) from a good pullup bar and use that as safeties. One should make sure that it hangs from the outermost ends of the bar or even much better from the square tubes. So, it would be interesting to do the following: Use a sturdy pullup bar, for example the Kingsbox Modular PU Bar (www.kingsbox.it/en/product/modular-pu-bar/), which comes with 6cm x 6cm square tubes, mount it to a concrete wall using good anchors, for example concrete drills (www.fischerfixingsusa.com/en-us/products/steel-fixings/concrete-screws/concrete-screw-ultracut-fbs-ii-8-14/concrete-screw-ultracut-fbs-ii-us/536871-fbs-ii-12x110-50-35-10-us). Use the spud suspension straps as safeties and do a drop test with different weigths (and maybe different heights) to see how much this construction could handle or not. I know a static load test for pullup bars here (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pctkmLeayKzZYp8.html), but I have never seen a dynamic one.

It's also important to remember that VERY few people are going to be doing this kind of weight and failing from the top like that and people who are going to be pushing past 500 usually have a dedicated beefier rack so this thing is perfect for the average fitness enthusiast looking for a rack that doesn't take up a bunch of space and will stand up to some pretty big abuse
