VANSWE Squat Rack for Home Gym, Weight Lifting Bench Press Rack, 550LBS Capacity Fitness Adjustable Barbell Rack (Black/Red Premium)

The media could not be loaded. I love my new barbell/squat rack!! It arrived in only a few days. It was very easy to put together. It probably took me 30 min but I was cleaning the area at the same time (I'm a small 5'-1" tall, small frame, 44 year-old woman). The instructions are very clear. Follow them! It is sturdy and very well made. I can't lift very heavy so I can't say how heavy of a barbell this rack will hold but I'm sure other reviewers will comment on that.I bought this because I needed to set this up in a small space in my bedroom, and other barbell racks I saw online are not adjustable and are very wide. I can adjust the width of this one to make it fit in the space I have.Another reason I bought this is for the long safety arms (spotter arms). I can go heavier on my squats and if I can't get up, I can place the barbell on the lower arms. The safety/spotter arms and the barbell holder are both adjustable heights. So I can easily lower them when I'm laying on my bench for press-ups, or raise them to do my barbell squats (and moving away my light weight bench). I also use the lower spotter arms to place my barbell there and use it for Australian pull-ups (I lay on the floor and grab the barbell wider than shoulder width and palms are facing away from my face, and I pull up squeezing my shoulder blades) and also for biceps curls (same set up as Australian pull-ups but I grab the barbell at shoulder width apart and my palms are facing my face).Like another reviewer said, it's hard (too wide) to do chest dips using the dip bars in the back of the rack if you don't want to adjust the width of this equipment every time. And for me, it was a little hard to adjust the width once everything was assembled. It takes some effort. So I just leave it at a set width and I don't change it.I recommend this Vanswe barbell rack for anyone who is looking for adjustability on width and height at a good price without sacrificing on quality.In the picture without a bench, it shows a barbell on the barbell holder at the top and an adjustable dumbbell/barbell setup that I bought from Amazon as well on the lower spotter arms.Edit: Still loving this barbell rack. Someone asked if we could do bench presses with a bench using this rack, so I added a video to show this. I also added a couple of photos doing the Australian Pull-Ups by placing the barbell on the lower longer arms (spotter arms), and photos doing squats. I'm very new to weight lifting, but in a year I hope to get stronger. :)

This bench is prefect. I use it for squatting, bench press, and more. It was very easy to put together and it is very sturdy. It is not to heavy to where I can’t move it by myself. I love that there is a bar to put your weights on the back.

Well, like with my bench review, covid compelled me to get my own bench equipment. This bad boy was what I settled on. I had looked at some others I had considered a bit. But for the price point this seemed a fair initial purchase. You know the kinda gear you get for a few years and if you stick to and make the purchase worth it you upgrade down the line. So let’s talk about it! The bench was easy to assemble (well with one issue being the posts were difficult to slide in because of weld burrs inside the main pieces) and indeed I can do dips on it! I’ll admit it wiggles a touch when I do. Wiggle may not be the right word but you feel it move a little. It’s sturdy enough though! My only issue with it really, is the width. I have it as open as I can and still have both bolts in the center on the bar. It’s not a perfect fit where the bar catches can be at a safe spot to catch should I drop. But that’s not a big deal. I have adjusted it to where I am bench comfortably. If you want some initial gear for home working out? You can do much worse. At least this is all in one piece so it is very stable for benching

Very happy with this purchase! Good quality sturdy unit that can probably handle every bit of the 550 lb limit if you have everything snugged up good. Loving it for bench press with my existing bench, barbell, and weights. It is far better quality and gives me much more versatility than any of the crap rickety combos with a fixed bench attached that you can find. The spotter arms are an awesome added feature. They are the perfect length to be useful if you need them but don't stick out so far that they get in your way when lifting. The weight holders are a very handy feature as well and I love the built in dip station. The unit width and arms adjust fairly easily so you can get the right width and height for your dips. The supporting bar that adjusts the width of the beams is also in a good location and does not get in the way for squats like some of the units i looked at. Very easy 22 minute assembly and i am by no means any kind of a handy man. Great product and exactly what I was hoping for.

I knew this going into it. I don't use more than 150 lbs. on it and it's shaky. I use bolts in lieu of the pins (I don't need to adjust it) and I fabricated a brace as well. No more issues. The price I paid for the stand, I can't complain.

I literally use this everyday and it was super easy to set up. Being able to change the narrowness and height of the rack is extremely useful. Loaded the rack with 300lbs and it stood fine holding the entire weight. Should only be used by experienced lifters because it does sway side to side if bar isn’t placed with good form. Definitely a good purchase for a home gym because it isn’t attached to a bench and gives you freedom to do more movements.
