Lowered J-Cups 2.0

Cosmetically:  

-The updated J-cups use bent steel with a lower profile and have nothing beneath the J-cup for a cleaner look.  

-The finish is now a metallic black powder coat rather than matte black to make it more resistant to chips and scratches. 

-The Lowered J-cups are now the same height as the Standard J-cups.

Functionally:  

-With the lower profile J-cup, you can mount the safety straps closer to the J-cups to get the perfect setting for the strap. 

-Plastic liners are now more secure to ensure they don’t move while in use. They feature four screws on the top liner rather than two like before. And the bottom liners are attached together rather than being two separate pieces, preventing them from shifting. 

The updated J-cups are made with bent steel. This manufacturing process makes the J-cup strong enough that it no longer needs the additional, welded support pieces on the bottom. The updated J-cups have the same static weight capacity of 1,000lbs. 

PR-5000 Uprights have 2” hole spacing throughout the uprights. Pair the Lowered J-cups with Standard J-cups to get the 1" spacing you are looking to mimic. With the 5000 Series Standard J-cups 2.0, select a hole placement on the upright that you believe will work for your lift. If you need the spacing just one inch lower, remove the standard J-cups and replace them with Lowered J-cups 2.0, using the same hole placement. The bottom of the lowered J-cup will now be an inch lower for your lifts.  

The only J-cup that will create 1” hole spacing with the original Lowered J-cups are the 5000 Series original Standard J-cups and 2.0. 

Standard: 

If cost is a factor, Standard J-cups are a great, budget-friendly option. Although  they are aesthetically more basic. They have plastic liners along the inside of the cup and on the bracket to protect your uprights. However, if you hit the bottom of the J-cup when trying to re-rack, you may damage your equipment with metal-to-metal contact. 

5000 Series Lowered:  

Lowered J-cups function like the Standard J-cup. Purchase the Lower J-cup 2.0 as a secondary pair of J-cups to achieve 1” hole spacing with Standard J-cups. 

Flat Sandwich: 

Flat Sandwich J-cups are a more premium option than Standard. These J-cups have a protective, plastic liner along the traditional landing zone and on the bottom of the J-cup for those instances when you miss re-racking the bar; if you accidentally hit the underside of the J-cup, the lining keeps your barbell knurling from getting damaged. Our Flat Sandwich J-cups have a longer, flat landing zone that allows you to roll the bar slightly to get some momentum before performing a lift or fit oversized specialty barbells.  

Round Sandwich: 

Round Sandwich J-cups are a more premium option than Standard. They are made of heavy-duty steel. These have a similar design of the Flat Sandwich, which means they have a protective, plastic liner along the traditional landing zone and on the bottom of the J-cup to protect the barbell knurling if you miss the re-rack. Round J-cups feature a super secure “doesn’t move” resting point and a dual-lock wraparound bracket design for extra peace of mind with heavy weight on the bar.
