REP Fitness PR-4000

4.7

$800as of Jun 8

Uses the same 3x3-inch 11-gauge steel and 1,000 lb capacity as the Rogue R-3 but at a lower price with a deeper attachment ecosystem. Far more rack than the budget REP PR-1100 (2x2, 14-gauge) and the Titan T-3, and built from thicker steel than the 12-gauge Force USA MyRack.

Rogue R-3 Power Rack

Built from the same grade of 11-gauge steel, Westside spacing, and a 1,000-plus lb capacity as the REP PR-4000, but uses 2x3 uprights, costs more, and is made in the USA. Sturdier and pricier than the Titan T-3 and the budget REP PR-1100, and uses thicker steel than the Force USA MyRack.
