Utility Seat

The Utility Seat can be mounted on the ISO Arms to perform leg presses. It can also be mounted on the crossmembers or Flip-Down Safeties for box squats, box jumps, and step-ups; on Spotter Arms for the same movements (rack must be bolted to the floor or stabilized with Front Foot Extensions). For additional exercise ideas, check out our blog. 

This utility seat was designed to fit a 3x3” post power rack with 1” or 5/8” holes and with outside widths of 47” and 49” to fit most power racks with those specifications. Keep in mind, due to machining variables, we cannot guarantee compatibility with non-REP products. 

The Utility Seat is compatible with both the PR-4000 and PR-5000 (47” exterior width), as well as racks with a 49” exterior width, such as the Oxylus Yoke, if using the additional liners (included).

The Utility Seat comes with 

- Eight mounting pins: four 5/8” diameter pins and four 1” diameter pins.   

- Additional liners for 49” wide racks.

You can purchase a pad and band pegs separately. If you purchase the pad you will also receive 3 meters of protective tape that you can put on the bottom of the seat to prevent metal-on-metal contact.

You can mount the Utility Seat on Flip-Down Safeties. However, the seat can also be mounted in between the rack uprights, on REP ISO Arms, Spotter Arms, and on the rack crossmembers. 

Structural welds on attachments and frames have a lifetime warranty. Pins have a one-year warranty. The pad has a 30-day warranty. 

On Flip-Down Safeties:  

• If you have the original version of the Rear Base Stabilizer: 560.1mm/22.1” from the floor 
• If you have a Rear Base Stabilizer 2.0: 360.1mm/14.2” 
• If you have no Rear Base Stabilizer: 360.1mm/14.2” 

On the Crossmembers: 

• 178.5mm/7” 

On the Spotter Arms: 

• 510mm/20.1” 

The Utility Seat comes with 3 meters of protective tape that you can choose to install on the bottom of the seat. Put it on the metal “edges” of the seat to prevent metal-on-metal contact and to protect both the seat and barbell, as well as reduce the noise.  

No, the Utility Seat Pad is specifically designed for the Utility Seat, with mounting thumbscrews to secure it in place and for quick removal. 

Yes. You can purchase Band Pegs to store your Utility Seat. This will only work on six-post racks that don’t have the Ares or Athena attachments. Also, if you buy the Utility Seat Pad, that cannot be attached to the seat while you have it stored. 

The seat has a rubber lining, but you can add a dense, foam CleanGrip vinyl pad for more comfort, especially useful for prone exercises, like seal rows. 

No, your uprights will be fine, even if there’s a little sound when the ball hits the seat. Toss away! 

To get the most out of this movement, we recommend using the Utility Seat with a 41” deep power rack with no Rear Base Stabilizer.  

You will sit on your bench facing your ISO Arms. Put your feet on the Utility Seat attached to the ISO Arms, loaded with weight. For this set up we used the weight horns to secure the Utility Seat to the ISO Arms instead of the included pins. For the leg press, you can’t have the Rear Base Stabilizer, Lat Pulldown & Low Row, or Ares installed. 

If you don’t have a Rear Base Stabilizer on your rack, it may be a little crooked or angled. In this case, we recommend loosening the pull-up bar and Logo Plate Crossmember, which can straighten up your rack. Attach the Utility Seat to the middle of the lower crossmembers. Once adjusted so it fits and slides across, you can retighten the pull-up bar and Logo Plate Crossmember.
