I got a PR 5000. Did I need 1" hardware? No. Did I need 41" interior depth? No. Did I need the front spotter arms so I can bench outside the rack? No. Am I looking to buy more stuff? Yes. While my wife understands the hobby (obsession) she still brings up the cost every week or so....

Watched this video out of curiosity because before buying mine I did months of research and comparisons, and you knock it all out in about 16 min. Very well done sir.

I've just started my research for a power rack and was feeling lost and overwhelmed. Your video was extremely helpful and I appreciate it! Thank you, Sir!

Källtext I just found your channel and I have to say I like how you arrange the videos. They are very in-depth and informative. I like that there is no distracting music or stressful editing to create action-packed scenes. The videos have a very welcoming tone to them like anyone could watch no matter of experience. I also enjoy the comical elements. Great channel!

Video quality is getting better and better. I think this is my favorite one yet!
-
Great vid! Its been a long time since ive lifted weights, and a local gym really aint in the cards. So i started looking into building my own, and you packed some great info in here for me to consider.

Appreciating the massive amounts of effort 💪

Very in depth! Very informative! Thanks, Gluck!

Awesome job putting this all together!

I've watched a bunch of your videos in the last 2 days - am glad the algorithm surfaced your channel! The only other gym equipment review channel I'm subbed to is Coop's Garage Gym Reviews so I'm glad I found this. Part review, part comedy, what's not to like.

I got RML-390BT and upped it to the 30" depth over the 24" standard last February which was 130 less than it is now so I'm glad I jumped on that. Very happy with it. the attachments versitility is what pushed me into the 3x3. I wouldn't have done Monster because I do not like the over done 1" bolts.

Thanks for answering my questions about all this on your PR-5000 video. I realize I wouldn't have had them if I saw this one first. Lesson learned, watch all Gluck's videos.
