They lied abut that too. In my opinion the PR-5000 Power Rack is a 5-star product, and that is both with or without the plate storage.

After sending them a dozen emails I received one response stating saying they grossly oversold their stock and my order was affected. BUT they hav NO communication w/ customers!!! Big regret....I should have gone Rogue Fitness. Using chalk, I haven't had an issue with hand slippage thus far on my deadlifts, but I've definitely had to chalk up sooner.I really like this bar with squats. Quality racks , bumper and kettle bells. I think this really adds to the overall aesthetic profile. As a company......who does that?!?!?!? I'm such a nerd with these types of things. 8 Rep Fitness reviews. As such, I don't really see myself using this bar in that manner unless I'm hitting some high volume sets where I'm concerned about my hands. Due to some issues with heat treatment, and later some knurl ring measurement issues, Rep Fitness heavily discounted the bars and decided to go back to the drawing board to refine their bar and release a new version.Today, the bar is spec'd properly in accordance with the IPF, and it comes in at a hell of a price.Before diving into the review of the bar, I think it's important to see the benefits of stainless steel as an option over other traditional finishes like chrome, zinc, etc…Get access to exlusive content and stay up to date with the latest Garage Gym Lab posts No email? I’d say there is a minimal amount of extra noise as a result of the end play. The sleeves are affixed to the shaft with a dual snap ring design, which I think this is a really nice touch vs the single snap ring that most others employ.The loadable sleeve length on the bar is 16.35″, which is just a bit longer than some other competing bars.

Like many of you, I Am in the middle of designing a home gym due to the current societal shutdown . The lateral movement is very minimal.
I would not buy from this company again as the product did not arrive to my standards and Rep Fitness did a poor job making it right.

The price is far less than the competition, yet the quality is still outstanding. 1: return 2: a 20% refund 3: replacement of damaged parts.
