Excellent, low-cost substitute for Smith machine and weight tree
By J. Preston
I have very good things to say when it comes to Body-Solid. I have at least five of their pieces of instrumentation in my home exercise regimen. Their instrumentation is well-designed, with the user in mind, well-built, and, though made in China, is constructed with magnificent quality control. It is, as they advertised, built to last a lifetime.

I received this machine by FedEx (about 180 lbs) in two boxes. Shipping costs are a element in buying goods for price on this rack. I got free shipping. I estimate the freight would be around $100.00.

It took me with regards to two hours to to a complete degree assemble. The good news is that I was competent to assemble the entire rack with only a 3/4″ socket and a 3/4 ” box wrench.

I think that who ever made the assemblage instructions did not talk to a complete degree with the design engineers. This is in truth well-designed. The picture and the instructions show the racks on the outside of the vertical supports. It works fine if you assemble it this way. However, if you assemble it this way you may only use 7 foot olympic bars. I collected it with the racks on the inside of the vertical supports.

You have to reverse the racks so the the numbering on the racks are on the inside, and, you have to reverse the safeties. However, with the racks and safeties reversed I may comfortably use a 6 foot olympic bar for curls, in addition to a 7 foot bar for bench presses and squats.

If you may obtain this at a decent price, including shipping, then it is a fantastic bargain. It closely replaces most Smith machines, a bench press rack, a squat rack, a weight tree, and, with a bench, may be used for presses, dumbells, or, without a bench, may be used for overhead presses and jerks at failure point.

A note for mature users: I am 54, and, after fracturing both shoulders I am tardily coming back to condition. For rehab, this machine is ideal. The safeties are very secure, and, it gives you the selfconfidence to push through the pain, and, give rise to the muscles you need for help while healing.

This item gets and “excellent” from me all the way around. . . .

Fantastic..
By Jay H
I was a bit skeptical regarding the quality of this unit due to the lack of reviews posted here. Much to my surprise, this rack is solid and well worth each penny even though I did save a few dollars by purchasing directly from the dealer.

What the description doesn’t tell you is the spotting arms are without apparent effort got rid of or adaptable at very close increments to accommodate each exercise from incline and flat benching to squats without a problem.

The rack is exceedingly stable and solid and I highly commend this unit to any individual wishing to build or upgrade their home home gym. I would rate this higher if I could.

Just a short comment on quality
By P. Miller
I agree with each positive thing said in regards to the product so far. Also, the uprights are 2″x3″ steel tubing (I’m beauteous sure it’s 11 gauge). The thing is rock solid. I put a bar throughout the top of the uprights and do pull-ups on it like it’s a swing set. This rack isn’t like something you find at your local sporting goods store, this is a very sturdy, high quality rack that’s made from very thick steel.

I use it in combining with the Ironmaster Super Bench, another great product.
