    Default Valor power racks

    Specifically the valor bd 11 as seen here:

    Does anyone own or have experience using this power rack or others in the valor line? I'm trying to complete my home gym set up and this seems to be a pretty solid deal.

    Thanks.

    I don't own one but I've used one at a gym before. It was solid. I like that the pull/chin-up bar is raised so you can do true hangs without your feet hitting. It looks like a good deal. I'm sure it's more than solid enough to last a lifetime. I doubt you'll ever out grow or out lift it's capacity.

    It'll work just fine, but honestly around that price point I'd be looking at something like a legend varsity 2x2 rack. I have their 3x3 and it's a beast, but I'm sure the 2x2 would be fantastic as well....and they have a straight pull-up bar.

    Here's a link to a huge thread on power racks...I'm sure the valor one is in there somewhere.

    Is there anyone who actually likes using angled pull up handles?

    I hate them. I still use my door pullup bar for this reason.
