Valor Fitness BD-7 Power Rack | Achieve a “Ripped” Physique

by

The Valor Fitness BD-7 Power Rack with Lat Pulldown offers a vast range of strength training exercises to help you achieve a sculpted “ripped” physique. Moreover, the Valor Fitness BD-7 Power Rack offers intense strength exercises, including lat pulldowns, squats, military presses, pull-ups, and more!

The Valor Fitness BD-7 is constructed with a sturdy 2×2″ steel mainframe and features four steel chrome adjustable weight bar supports, two solid steel squat safety bars, and 17 variable positions for bar supports ranging in height from 17.5″ up to 68″. In addition, this power rack is compatible with a 7ft Olympic-sized barbell (sold separately).

If you buy this rack to set up in your home gym, you will usually be working out without a spotter. Therefore, this is why Valor Athletics has included a set of high-quality safety rails and two sets of adjustable bar supports.

These allow you to perform mass-building exercises, including squats and bench presses, without the fear of getting ‘pinned’ under the bar. The bar supports come in a couple of different lengths. The shorter set holds the bar before starting the exercise, while the more extended set helps catch the bar if you can’t entirely complete the rep.

Powerline BSG10X Home Gym | Perfect for Building Strength

by

The Powerline BSG10X Home Gym is a resourceful weight stack home gym for those beginning to play with this type of exercise equipment. With this in mind, the Powerline BSG10X is reasonably priced, offering a fair number of exercises and weight stack resistance.

Additionally, the Powerline BSG10X features 40+ exercises, an adequate number of options considering the price paid. Unfortunately, the Powerline BSG10X maxes out at 160 lbs resistance, making it a little weak for strength trainers looking to reach the “next level.”

The compact Powerline BSG10X Home Gym sports a stable platform and multiple seat adjustments accommodating all shapes and sizes. The home gym base feels firm, and the trainer’s confidence shows in limited 10-year coverage on the frame. In addition, the 11-gauge mainframe construction assures maximum strength, function, and durability.

A typical customer complaint regarding fitness equipment is the time and energy required to assemble a trainer upon shipment. If you can relate, you will appreciate that the  Powerline BSG10X is 90% pre-assembled upon delivery and ready to use after installing nine bolts.
