Side by Side Comparison of: Yaheetech vs CAP Barbell

Item arrived on time, new and works great. I will definitely order again.

Great addition to my weight room. Feel sturdy enough, don't take up too much room when not in use.

Awesome for a small home gym. Sturdy enough to hold my weights but light enough to move around when not in use. Directions weren't too difficult to put together. Probably took me 20 minutes.

These are very sturdy and strong. Only time will show if they stand up to wear and tear but so far I'm pleased with them. Obviously they aren't as stable as a full squat rack but as a cheap substitute they are excellent. Everything was there in the box and went together easily. It came quickly, less than a week for sure but I don't remember exactly how many days it took to be honest...

This baby performed just as advertised---easy to assemble, works great, very strong.Fits right under my bench; great for both bench presses, squats, etc.

The product shipped as expected. These are great for your casual lifter. The heightening bars are a little loose, but I've seen similar in gyms. if you wedge something between the metal it will fix it. This is not at all a big deal. I bought a 6 foot Olympic bar which works but its a close fit. I had reservations to get these stands because I had read that someone felt the stands needed to be too close together which could cause tripping or at least an obstacle. I'm 5'9" , 175 lbs and while they are close together I still have plenty of room to step between them. You need to be paying attention anyway. The pictures will hopefully give you a good idea and don't be intimidated by all the weight you see on the bar. I'd be comfortable putting anything less than 300 lbs on these stands.

Oh how I love this exercise stand! I can actually squat much more weight now than I thought I could! And I am doing chin ups that I couldn't do before!! I am still working on pull ups but I am so thankful for this stand. I wish it were slightly shorter only because where I put it, it sits barely below the ceiling (laundry room of basement) but that is not the product's fault. It is VERY sturdy, but don't swing on it lol.

I love this power rack. It is heavily made and did not take long to put together. I don't know if it would hold up for a powerlifter, but for someone who is 50 like me, it serves my purposes. The red racks are easy to change out and I love the chin-up bar. Very affordable if you are trying to set up your own home gym.

It does what it's supposed to do. I'm about 210 lbs and built it this weekend. Takes about 90 minutes maybe. Use a wrench, not the tool they give you. Very easy to put together, just a little time consuming with the many bolts and screws. I used it this weekend to squat 250lbs and did pull ups on it. Seemed very stable for my use. I'm done powerlifting, just like to get a few sets in here and there to stay in shape. This is not for a hardcore powerlifter. It's fine if you just want to be a little more fit. Great for moderate lifting and body weight work. The holders are easy to move if you want to bench or something else.

It is great for the price point. I am 190# & 6' and have no problems with it. I can do strict pull ups with a slight knee bend. If you are normally going to be going over its weight limit get something more solid but for a beginner or someone looking to only use lighter weights it is great.I got some chains and carabiners to use as a bench press spot, works well, ~20$ at Lowes no problems. And bicycle handle bar tape on the pull up bar makes it much more conferrable.Assembly was easy. Is plenty solid when used under its weight limits. It being smaller and lighter has let me move it a few times out of the way which is nice.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite purchases. It is exactly what I was looking for—a free-standing pull-up bar where I can practice static pullups, levers, toes-to-bar, and attach suspended training elements. I would not kip on this bar (I don't kip anyway) unless you do something to stabilize the bottom. I also don't lift weights so I can't speak to how useful this item is for that purpose. But for what I wanted to do, it is perfect!

So, I recently had the grand idea to begin programming my strength training again. After scouring Craigslist for Olympic plates, both rubber and steel, I found myself in need of a Power Rack. Enter the Cap Power Rack.There were three things I wanted out of this piece of equipment:1. Squat Rack. I need something that I can do Front/Back Squats from.2. Bench Press3. Pull ups.4. Leg LiftsCap Barbell Power rack fit the bill. Here's the highlights:1. Shipped right to my house for free and everything was there when it came in.2. It was easy to assemble (simple straight forward directions)3. It took about 90 minutes.4. Came with all the tools (although I used at 11/16 socket/wrench for speed)After assembly, I decided to give it a quick test out and ran a few sets of pull ups. Straight pull ups went fine. Kipping pull ups swung a little bit, so I'll have to use plates to weight it down.Here's a SWOT on the piece.Strength: Price. Shipping. Ease of installment.Weaknesses: Weight (light and needs to be held down for kipping). Holds only 300#'sOpportunity: Allows for pull up, front squat, back squat and bench.Threats: Takes up room in the garage and isn't foldable.Bottomline: For the price, you can't beat it. I paid $150 but I think there was price drop...

I was very impressed how heavy the box is. After assembling it and using it some, I was pretty satisfied. The only thing though is that the vertical posts can slightly wiggle side to side parallel to the two horizontal posts. It wiggles a little side to side but not that bad. I really like the safety catch being there. It just makes me feel secured thinking that if I need it that it would be there.

Hubby is very happy with his new adjustable squat rack. This was one of the only ones that wasn't too tall for our short basement. He no longer has to waste time driving to a gym, and with a new baby on the way he is excited to be able to continue working out the way he wants without worrying about bringing the baby with him, he can simply work out at home. We did wish it was a smidge easier to adjust. But assembly was a breeze

I only need something for light to medium work outs, these stands are working out fine.

Assembly could have been better.

They hold up fine for me. I use a 7ft barbell with bumper plates. Easy to put away and have room to park my car in the garage. I'm just starting off so it will be a while before I hit a weight that will be uncomfortable with these. I think once you hit the 300's then you will want to invest a little more.

For the price, they are really great. I would have given them 5 stars but they are a bit wobbly. To solve this, I bolted on an aluminum tube to the back, bottom of the two stands and that did the trick. I'd recommend them for sure.

- It's difficult to do incline bench press on this thing because there are connecting fasteners that impede you from putting your hooks at the sweet spot. You either have to start out shallow or reach up uncomfortably.- Hard to do seated barbell military presses with an adjustable bench as the back stabilizer bar gets in the way.- trying to get a bar off your back quick will about knock this thing over lol. Be careful quick racking.

It gets the job done. Kipping pull ups/muscle ups aren't happening on this thing unless you bolt it down or stabilize it in some way (which is doable). I don't think i will trust this thing with anything over 250lbs, but thats just me. I can't even squat 250 so i'm safe ;-) ..... but for the money this is a great little home gym rack.

For the price the best exercise stand. Can easily hold 300 pounds safely. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because when I do pullups the bar sways so I cannot kip without tipping the stand. 100lb Sandbags placed help a little

It is simple to put together, has everything you need to do the job, and it can be done by one person. It does exactly what I want it to do - it serves as a sturdy pull-up bar. I didn't give it a 5 star because it does wiggle a bit, and there are other products similar to this that have more function to them (there is one here on Amazon that allows you to do dips). I have not used this as squat rack. I think for the price, this is a good product, and I would probably buy it again.I will say this - If you are a tall person (5'11" or taller) you may want to find something else. I'm 5'9" and find my feet touching the ground during pullups.

Hard to find a functional rack at a price like this. Assembly was a pain but it was good to see some actually engineering went into the design. It is not super duper stable but it is actually much more stable than I was expecting for the price and I am quite pleased. I do wish there was some way to add safety bar catches on each side though. I may try to feed some steel bars through the holes on either side and see if that works.

Just received and put together today. A star was taken away because the box was in horrible shape. The straps cut into the box because it's so heavy. This caused the package holding bolts and washers and nuts to break a bit. It was missing 6 washers. I saw other reviews of this product missing some washers as well. You'd think they would change something after multiple complaints. That being said, the construction seems sturdy enough. I will update if I find anything further.

a little wobbly but not bad

Easy to setup, wish there was a way to connect them together, be careful with heavy weights when re-racking cause the stands will jostle if you throw the bar back on the rack too hard.

not very stable

Good for the price, but craftsmanship is questionable. The screws holding the bottom together are too long and hit the ground causing a wobble. If the top pin is inserted then the pin for the safety arms don't line up and won't go in. Recommended for someone just starting out before they graduate to a standard rack.

Could of been built stronger

The product was perfect as described. Im 6'5 and it is barely tall enough on the highest setting. It took over 2 weeks to make it to my house.

I bought this for pull ups and to attach straps for rows but this racks is very flimsy, it has no set stability so you really need to be carefull on how you use it. In the end, you get what you pay for and this is why it's $80.

This came with missing nuts and bolts, and the packaged was wet and damaged - we ended up finding some of the pieces on our front lawn. Once set up though, we have been fairly impressed with the quality of this product. It's a bit wobbly, but this can be reduced by using a weight on the back. The bar holder is too short to really hold a standard-sized Olympic bar.

I ordered this because I wanted a freestanding pull up bar. I use it for calisthenics exercises like front lever, pull ups, muscle ups, ect. It can't handle explosive things like clapping pull ups (it will tip over), but it can handle muscle ups as long as you're slow with them. For what I wanted it for, it works decently.

I mainly puchased this for the pull up bar aspect. I also hang rings from it. It seems solid enough as long as you aren't planning to kip or do a lot of swinging. Much like the other reviews, the box was short 6 washers, so I annoyingly had to go to Lowe's and get a bag of 3/8 inch washers to finiah. Also, the top vertical sections are not machined properly. The left side doesn't seat flat against the base and the right side seats crooked. It still bolted together tightly but is asthetically non pleasing. I imagine it'll last a few years, but would never rack 300 lbs on this thing. Great purchase for a nice wide and high pull up bar that you can use to mount rings.

This rack is easy to put together without help. I would change three things. Powder coat instead of paint everything, especially the J-arms which have been getting paint on my rogue barbell, use single piece verticals because you lose about 4in of functional space in the center of the rack, finally the pull-up bar easily bends when you take it apart, but it bends back.Can't beat it for the price though, just don't expect rogue quality.

Only two complaints,but since I only paid $99, I don't consider it an issue. I just accept that you get what you pay for.Im 5'9, and I wish the pull-up bar was higher. I can reach the bar with my heels touching the ground. Next thing that could be better is the J-cups. They seem to hold a static weight of 225 fine, but I wouldn't feel comfortable dropping anything much heavier than that on those brackets from the front rack position without doing it gently. Easy fix, but I'm rating what's in the box and not how easy it is to make it better.In conclusion, if your space is limited, have a budget of less than $150, and not a DIY-er, this is a good deal.

A bit cheap, but got a partial refund to keep them. Ok.

Gets the job done but barely. Crude design so setup took forever. Not very stable. Foam padding on bar arms is not dense so it was crushed into a very thin pad after a day. Height adjustments are trash too

Its okay. Ensure you tighten down all the bolts and nuts or will become a little unstable. My biggest issue is that one of the two upright pins in the back (they stand about 10 inches up) that you should be able to put olympic size weights on (45lb, 35lb , 25lb and etc...) is to big in diameter and totally usually for weight storage. One of them is perfect size for the weights, but the other is totally useless...

Wobbles side to side. Weight hangers move when reracking weights if you're bench pressing. Sqeaking and creaking sound when doing pull ups. Structurally it appears solid, but it just doesnt feel safe...

Missing a bolt and two nuts. So I cant even use it. not sure how to contact customer support

I haven't had a chance to use the product yet but have already had problems with the pieces and assembly.First, remnants of the foam packaging stuck to some of the bars (see picture). My package was also missing one of the longer bolts needs for assembly.The instructions for assembly are horrible. There aren't written step by step instructions. You have to looks at sketches of the pieces and figure out assembly from there. It is also difficult to put together and tighten the bolts. It says you need a wrench but I would highly recommend having a ratchet. The ratchet probably cut the assembly time in half. It took me about 1.5-2 hours to assemble.The product itself seems pretty sturdy (with the exception of the missing bolt) but I would only recommend buying this rack if you are willing to deal with the assembly issues.

Pretty good, I just wish there was an extension for taller people like me. I can't get full extension and this limits many exercises I want to do like abs (leg us and knee ups) and many others. Would be great for short people and young kids. My 16-year old son is already too big for this.

I purchased this for my husband and unfortunately it broke within the first 3 months.

Dreadful instructions and nuts that don't fit the bolts. avoid

This product is so bad that it is nonexistent, and the customer service is horrible.

This whole thing is trash. Spend money on a quality rack. Unstable and may as well be made of aluminum foil.

It's a no for me! Not as strong as advertised, I'm still nursing my injury from the whole weights and the device collapsing on me.

The Vertical Tube and Base Tube is providing me with issues on this product. When I connected the tubes with the nuts and bolts provided, there is a 1/4-Inches of room, causing the rack to wobble. I have rated this a 1/5 as this is unusable at this point.Vendor - please respond or I will seek a refund.

Item arrived with a vertical support attachment plate bent out of shape and with many cosmetic defects on practically every part. I know it's cheap, but I expected a cheap item in new and usable condition. Absolute garbage.

Missing hardware components. Unable to complete construction. Will contact seller and update accordingly

Had to return it...it looks simple, but it is FAR more complicated to assemble than you might think. It simply didn't work for my home gym setup. We are unable to bolt things to the floor, which this required. No good.

I have tried both the small and long bolts and all of the bolts are too long and the lock nuts won't allow you to tighten the bolts all the way leaving it very loose and flimsy.

Arrived bent so I couldn't assemble it.

Got a great deal on this, but beware. You get what you pay for. ALL of the SCREWS are too big. I cannot imagine putting any faith into this piece of equipment with the flimsy nature of it. I will probably have to go to home depot and find screws that will actually fit the crossmembers and supports. As it is, there is sooooo much play. The locking nuts do not allow you to tighten the screws. I can't imagine putting heavy weight on this nor doing pullups. Ugggggggggh.
