Power Rack just got a LEVEL UP - best one I’ve tested yet

We've got a new addition to the garage home gym. It is a new power rack that we are going to be setting up right back there in the corner of the garage. First things first, let's unbox this bad boy. And you already know how we do it, Viking style. I gotta say, having an axe for unboxings, not only is it awesome it's actually quite effective much easier than using a knife now I've done quite a few power cages in my day so what we're going to do is open everything up organize all the pieces to make it much easier to put together because these things can take quite a while to put together especially if it's your first time Now this is the RIT Fit power cage with cable crossover machine. So it's basically a power cage with all the bells and whistles that you need. So when you get this thing, just refer to the manual. It's step-by-step, just like building any piece of furniture or anything like that. Follow it to a T, take your time, make sure everything's done properly, correctly, and then we'll see what the final product looks like. We'll test it out. I'll show you guys all the features, and then you can decide if this is something that you want to add to your garage gym I'll run through all the prices and everything on their website show you guys where you can get it and then that'll be it so just your typical nuts and bolts if you have a second pair of hands for stuff like this definitely helpful to have someone to help you out especially when you get to the parts where you have to hold up pieces and you're building the top pieces of the box itself definitely easier if you have a second pair of hands but it is totally doable by yourself now like this is where a second pair of hands would really come in handy when you got to attach two pieces like this luckily for me i just leaned one side up against the wall attached it and now i'm attaching the second side on my own but this could be an issue if you're you know not able to hold it up and get everything seated in place to attach the two sides together but where there's a will there's a way you can make it work just like that you got the piece set up we have two sides attached and we're ready to get this show on the road i got pretty lucky with my little floor mat cut out it's a perfect fit so so far right here this is my floor mat cut out that i got and it just happens to be just the right size for this to fit i don't want to bore you guys too much with the actual building process unless it's something you like to watch and you like to see how this thing how these things get pieced together or if you prefer just to test you know get to the actual product itself build it up quick and then test it out let me know in the comments what you guys prefer i want to make this kind of as organic as possible just like you're hanging out in the garage with me helping me build it let me know what you guys think about that all right we've got the four pieces set up coming together fairly quickly a lot quicker than would have the first time around building a power rack so i'll show you guys real soon what it's going to look like when it's almost finished now unfortunately one of these rings that's supposed to be housed here is missing this is the piece that is going to go on the top here to be connected for the cables to run through it so you can see this one's got three here and then the one here we should be able to still make it work i'll get in touch with them and see if we can figure out how we can solve this problem hey that's life you have your run into problems that you did not expect you just roll with the punches and you keep it going all right we got the top pieces set how we looking so far i'm gonna show you guys look at this starting to come together it's coming along so let's see what's next now just some real talk i've worked with a lot of brands you know people sending me stuff i have to interact with people from various companies um rit fit this company that sent me this power rack has definitely been one of my favorites by far they're just they just act like human beings right a lot of companies will just send you stuff and then they expect like oh this and they talk to you like like they're robots you don't even feel like you're communicating with a human being whereas Ritfit whoever I've been dealing with from Ritfit has been amazing to work with and a lot of other brands not at all and I'm not gonna name any but just come off kind of douchey you know and a lot of times I'll even I've even sent stuff back they'll send me stuff i'll go through it i'll make the video i get it like they want a video to be a certain way totally get it but they come off like dicks about it right and it's like really come take your ---- send me the return slip i don't want it just because you sent someone something for free doesn't mean you get to treat them like ---- and that has never been the case with Ritfit i've worked with them for several months they've sent me lots of stuff i've done reviews i've done lives really great company at least in my opinion in my experience working with them have been amazing and there it is their logo which is pretty sick got that metallic finish on it that's gonna go right up here we're gonna oh don't tell me i hung the wrong oh no damn i put the wrong cross beams so instead of going at the top the logo is going in the middle it is what it is and this has gotta be my favorite part whenever you get like a new tv or something fancy right you know how they have that that little laminate finish on the top of it just to protect it from scratches and stuff i gotta say man peeling it it's gotta be one of the most satisfying oh no so satisfying look at that i love it i love peeling off that finish some people like to keep that on there i'm like what the hell man this is like the best part look at that ah amazing beautiful all right here it is the box is done since we are missing one of these rings i just contacted the company instant response from them saying we're so sorry about everything they're gonna send out the missing part i'll get it in there and then we will set the cables up and show you everything that this power cage can do so I was just messaging with the company and they were asking me what's the missing part so they can get it sent out to me I saw that the bolt for the missing wheel one of these bolts was was just lying there in the box because a lot of them were loose they came apart thinking like if the bolt is here the wheel has to be here unless it was dropped in the warehouse or something sure enough lodged in here was the wheel right there I just looked from above I I can get it out and back out here. So we are not missing a wheel. Brit Fit, thank you guys. Sorry for the trouble. And just so you guys know, I'm not bullshitting. Here's the screenshots of the message that I sent them and they were like, oh, we're so sorry. I'm so sorry, guys. Anyway, moving on, let's finish this bad boy off. And my daughter wants to say hello to everyone. All right, we need to go to bed soon, right? It's bedtime. Yeah, yeah, all right. So you guys remember when I said that I'm gonna just keep this logo in the middle because i put the wrong cross beam here i was wrong this thing has to go up top because that middle cross beam has special slots in it for other parts of the power rack so don't do what i did just follow the instructions otherwise you're gonna do what i'm doing right now and you have to go back and take stuff off and put stuff back and replace parts that should have gone where they originally should have gone i don't know if that makes sense but anyway follow the instructions don't try to do your own thing now this is probably the most confusing part is doing the actual cable because the way it runs through the machine i'm gonna show you guys the cable has to run through all of these right and it's gonna go up through those back down and through here it's gonna loop through the whole machine and if you have you have to loop it exactly right i'm gonna give it a few tries and i'm gonna show you guys how it should look when it's done if you have trouble on the cables I want to know because these things have been giving me a nightmare for the last 15 minutes trying to wrap my head around how to run them through this thing okay so I think I figured it out though the instructions don't really spell it out but this piece obviously will fit through here so you're going to run it through here up and along into that one across into the other ones and then up and down and then it'll lock out with the other side because the other end is like this and this is not going to fit through it so you have to run it through using the smaller end going properly through the wheels okay so if you're confused when you come to this section i hope this little piece of wisdom will help you out so when you're trying to figure out how this is going to go through just think right here this is the line that you're going to follow so this is the direction you're going to feed it through like i was showing you with that smaller side so it goes in here just like that goes up which is here and it just follows like this it goes down and around up down just like that so feeding it this way hopefully that helps you guys yes we've got it we got it okay finally i've seen so many videos of people like i got confused with the cables if you've never done it before it's not as hard as it seems at first once you figure it out as you can see it's running through properly so this pulls out and it pulls back so this is where you start feeding it in as i was showing on the diagram it goes up goes up and over hits that first wheel comes down under this wheel now this wheel i couldn't get it to fit so i had to unscrew this bolt pop this wheel out feed it through and then pop the wheel back on top of it and tighten it goes back up over that wheel over that wheel and it's like it's like it's like tracks so you got to get it into that track on the wheel right here and it just goes in perfectly this one goes under comes down here under this one comes up and attaches right here and this piece is adjustable and then that's your cable setup on your power rack. Now at first glance this is the basic power rack when it's finished but Rit Fit sent me more So before we finish this off there's actually a whole other piece and this is the Smith attachment that goes with it. Now this is not your average power rack so what we're gonna do next is go through and test out each piece to show you exactly what this thing is capable of now they were kind enough to also send me all of these attachments for the cable machine these are clutch when it comes to those pulling exercises and they sent the whole bundle all the good stuff these are really clutch a lot of gyms don't even have these nowadays these are really good for when you want to really get that back workout in get those pulling exercises see like all these little changes between the different attachments so you can go wider and you get that deep grip i'm gonna have literally every size the quality on these feels amazing here's the full set i'm going to show you guys how they all look i'm going to show you the basic attachments that come with the power rack and then these are bonus that you can order on top of what you get with the power rack so i'm going to show them side by side just to give you a comparison of how they look and the difference between the two sets so right here you have we'll call this the bonus set and then this is the standard these are the standard attachments that come for the cable attachments for the power rack so check it out we got some more things too so we got the rope attachment for doing the tricep and bicep exercises we got these attachments here so we basically got the whole gym setup from Ritz fit oh man this is so sick this is literally all the attachments you're gonna find in your high-end gyms nowadays and these are really good quality goddamn so obviously these are a big step up from the standard ones that come with the power rack so if you want to spend a little extra money get yourself the high quality stuff these will come in clutch for the workouts but wait there's more we've also got this weight bench for the workouts as well now this thing was super easy to put together and it is very top-notch quality so fully adjustable from the top you can raise it up and raise the seat up and it's got the ones where it just latches in so you don't have to worry about it popping off it's got the wheels on the back it's got the padding here on the bottom you got these rubber pads so you don't scratch up your garage floor or your mats or whatever which is pretty cool. It's heavy, so it's very solid. This is the perfect bench for doing your heavy, heavy lifts. Got the RITFIT logo on there, of course. And I mean, look at that. You got the metallic finish, fully adjustable from both ends. This piece, just raise it up. If you want to go higher or lower, the seat fully adjusts as well. And you got the wheels on the back. So you want to position it to where you want to go grab that handle and just wheel it right up to your power rack and of course you need the weights to go with the power rack so they sent over a full set of bumper plates let's open these up let's see how they look and throw them up on the power rack yeah look at that now this is slick i love it i wonder what colors all the different weights are maybe each color has its each weight has its own colors these are from 35s yellow bumper plates these are 25 pound plates it's like a like a color reveal green for 25 look at that that is slick these are the 15s color reveal for the 15s is black black for 15 let's see what color The 10s we got gray for 10 pounders.
