Tester Brandon Lunsford, C.P.T., CF-L1, used this rack to do exercises like squats, bench press, strict press, pull-ups, and more for almost two years. He describes it as an intermediate or beginner rack and noticed movement while un-racking 350 pounds. “The rack held the weight just fine, but there was some swaying after I removed the bar. I’d recommend it to a beginner or someone who doesn’t lift to that capacity because I was happy with it otherwise.”
We like that the PR-1000 comes with chrome-coated safeties extending past the rack, offering an additional place for a barbell. The numbered uprights allow you to adjust the safeties or J-hooks quickly and never have to worry about your bar being crooked. “The J-hooks were easy to move, and the hole spacing of one inch is adequate to get the bar lined up where you need it,” Lunsford says. “I can attest to the functionality of the safeties; they worked great for me when I failed a heavy bench over 250 pounds.”
