PR-5000 Power Rack

After conducting extensive research and turning to Google for help, I ultimately decided on this product. I can confidently say that it has exceeded my expectations and is truly remarkable! The service provided by GAF has been exceptional, with prompt responses and delivery within the estimated time frame. As a result, I have placed additional orders for more equipment.

It will give me a lot of confidence when I get back to heavy squats again.

Main gripe is Australia only imports the 80" uprights. No 93". Being 6' tall, that means bent knee pullups, even with the multigrip pullup bar. I knew this prior to purchase and thought overall REP was a better deal than Rogue's. It was only when discovering standing shoulder presses couldn't be done in the cage I started to get regrets, as Rogue brings in the 90" and 100" models. This means having to unload and thread an olympic bar through the uprights to the outside of the rack - a recipe for injury when already fatigued from the previous exercise.

Places for weight horns also get limited on a 4 post system so the extra height would have worked here well, allowing plates on the top bars to be walked under.

Very easy to install by a single person. A second stamped wrench ideally should have been included ($1) as many won't have a large enough wrench to stop the bolts rotating when tightening. A rethink on packaging could have halved the installation time - bubble wrap had to be carefully sliced off and the sticky vacuum sealed bolts pack took ages to pop parts out.

Would have been 5 stars if GAF imported the 93" uprights brought in the safety straps which I'm desperately missing. This stuff is simply too expensive to import personally from the USA, so might look at retrofitting Rogue's if they don't appear soon.

Update 1: GAF are now importing the safety straps so increasing a star for future buyers. Unfortunately I bought the spotter arms in lieu of and have no need for both so might try to sell the arms. Straps would also be able to perch the bar just off the ground for deadlifts so plates can be easily loaded/unloaded.

Update 2: GAF are now importing the 93" uprights. Great that GAF have seen the necessity for both these and the safety straps - obvious omissions that have likely cost them many sales to Rogue - as I was borderline and am only 6'. Too much cost and time to changeover now unfortunately but I'll probably do it out of annoyance one time it's that crucial.

My first workout was putting the rack together! Heavy and solid. You probably don't own a wrench and socket large enough for these bolts. Very happy with this rack.

PR 5000 V2 80” Mayte black. Build to be eternal. Reliable, looks great and pleasing to the eyes. Sturdy. Functional, upgradable with lots of attachments available. Excellent price and REP service is OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Most of my equipment is from REP and they stand behind every bolt (yes, even the bolts). Will definitely recommend it without hesitation.

This thing is the beauty and the beast all in one. She is the center of attention and brought the gym to next level. So versatile and adaptive, plan on adding many more attachments. Price was very competitive after looking at other options. If your color is out of stock, sit patiently and give them a few days and it will reappear. Don't catch the fever and go buy another. Last rack will ever need to purchase.
