Let's continue with the assembly of the Power Rack.
The next step is a little tricky, getting the top cage up onto the structure.
The top cage weighs about 15 to 20kg. This may sound light, but getting such a big cage up alone is'nt an easy task. We recommend at least 2 persons for this job.
BUT! before you carry the top cage all the way up and getting ready to put it on, remember to insert the four barbell holders of the Power Rack. This is extremely important as it will be very difficult to remove the top cage and inserting the holders in the later stage of the assembly.
The holders can be adjusted according to different height with reference to the numbers indicated on the Power rack itself.
Come to this stage, your Power rack is around 70% completed. The next thing to be attached to the Power rack will be the chin up bar. The chin up bar is to be attached to the top front part of the Power rack. The chin up bar comes in one piece and only needs to be screwed and bolted onto the top front part of the Power Rack. A point to take note, do not mount the chin up bar at the "bottom" of the top front part of the Power rack. This is one common mistake people make.
If you did not purchase the lat attachment to the Power rack, your Power Rack is fully assembled and can be use for your workouts.
In the next post, we will be showing the process of assembling the lat attachemnt and mounting it onto the Power Rack.
Stay tune!
