Cap Barbell Unisex Fm-safe13rd CAP Barbell Safety Catches Spotter Arms Red, Red, Safety Catches Spotter Arms UK

I've seen these before I wasn't sure about them because the pin seems quite thin however I put them on the rack and they work fine, the only thing I would say is they are prone to moving so I have glued a bit of cardboard where they fasten to the racket self but yes amazing value

Does the job well

I was using 2 chairs as a safety for reps to failure, and it was working fine, until one day the chairs slipped away and I smooshed myself. I bought these the next day. I feel super safe and confident now. I can push myself harder knowing I won’t pin myself again. Now I can do reps to failure every time.

The rack itself is an amazing value. It pales in comparison to a Rogue type rack that you would find in a gym, but fills the home gym need with ease. It has singlehandedly eliminated the need to brave the gym during this pandemic, and I’ll probably just continue working out at home for the foreseeable future. I don’t have it anchored to the floor, though the holes are there for it. Even without it mounted, it is stable enough for pull ups and for anchoring resistance bands to it. The heights are adjustable for the barbell, so I’m able to use it for squat, bench, incline bench, decline bench, etc. It’s an extremely versatile unit. The safety bars are mounted on the power rack. I also use them to prepare the barbell for deadlifts, shrugs, etc. They are sturdy enough, but rotate easily when bumped. In my opinion, these are a must have if you don’t have a spotter readily available. Mounting on the rack is simple, and there’s a large range of where they will fit on the rack. Note that the picture is with the rack and a barbell, but the spotter / safety bars are sold separately.

They fit on any 2 inch square tube. Very well made and sturdy. You will bench press alone safely with these. I tested with 225lb but it would definitely withstand much more. Price is also cheap. I highly recommend if you have a 2 inch tubing bench or power rack. I drilled some 1/2 holes on mine, at desired heights and it saved me from buying a higher end power rack.

For the price these are great. I have a CAP rack too so they fit well and are long enough to catch squats and bench press fails. I have concrete weights so i like to put the arms on the bottom hole to deadlift so the plates don't hit the ground. I can only deadlift 315 but they've held that weight well even at the very end of the arm so they should keep you pretty safe unless you're a beast. Not really scratch resistant but i don't really mind. Does the job for me but they are designed for a rack that only holds 500lbs so i wouldn't expect to be able to push them much further than 400

Right from the box, the rubber pad is getting off. It doesnt bother me much. I have 0.25 inch red rubber pad that i will stick over. If this arm does what supposed to do I am ok.
