You don't need deep pockets to craft an impressive home gym. All it takes is making the PR-1100 power rack the star of your setup.

Introducing the PR-1100

The PR-1100 is your all-in-one, versatile power rack, designed to meet all your fitness needs. It boasts a hefty 700-pound weight capacity while maintaining a space-saving design that can get even more compact by inverting the pull-up bar.

With included features like a Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar and numbered uprights for easy barbell height adjustment, it's got you covered. Plastic-lined Standard J-cups ensure your bar stays protected, and extended safeties open up new exercise possibilities, like rack pulls.

The PR-1100 ticks all the essential boxes without breaking the bank.

Customizing the PR-1100

While it's a solid base, there's no shortage of ways to make your PR-1100 uniquely yours.

Choose Your Color

Start by selecting from four colors: black, metallic black, red, or blue.

Pro tip: Match your bench and barbell to your rack for a sleek, coordinated look. Think: a red rack, a AB-4100 adjustable bench and a 20kg Colorado Bar, all in the same color.  

Red Dumbbell Storage Rack

Complete the aesthetic with a red Battle Sleeve Rope, matching Ab Support Mat, a red Dumbbell Rack, red Sandbags, and some red and black 55lb Animal Print Bumper Plates.

Upgrade Your Safeties 

The PR-1100 comes with chrome-plated Pin-Pipe Safeties, but you can level up your safety game for a premium experience.

  • Flip-Down Safeties: These slide into the uprights like a J-cup, lock in place with a clevis pin, and flip down for added security. Not only do they save you from bad lifts, but they're perfect for pulling exercises (700lbs load capacity for the 1000 Series rack).

  • Strap Safeties 2.0: These reinforced nylon straps are secured with heavy-duty bolts. Lifters like these because they’re quieter than steel safeties virtually noiseless. They’re also gentler on your barbell and uniquely adjustable, because you can mount the front and back ends at different heights. This is nice for bailing out of a lift. For example, if you fail a squat, with offsesafeties, the bar can roll away from your back and make it easier to get out from under the load.
