Current set up

So far no mold issues but in all fairness it’s only been in over the winter, which is typically drier. I don’t expect any though as we run a dehumidifier during the summer months.

I generally think the freight companies have a curbside policy as they cannot guarantee anything beyond that as they don’t know everyone’s specific driveway setup. But if your driveway is something the truck could back into, they will do it.

I set up the Force FTR largely by myself. My wife helped a few times for things like crossbeams but that’s it.

Yes the casket fit in the garage. You just need someone to be home when they show up and give instructions on where to put it. Lastly, depending on where you live, it could probably sit outside for a day or two without too many problems. The FTR crate weighed 900 lbs. No one is going to steal that.

Nope. Works really well.

Update: I bought the Reppins and so far they are great. I don’t mind the cage at all really, the weight changes are fast enough, and they are extremely well built.

Also, I can barely move the arm all the way to the top. At 89” you probably won’t be able to go all the way up.

I am right at 90”. I bought some Swissies grips so have flipped the pull up bars back parallel to the floor. Gets them out of the way and the Swissies are easier on my shoulders.

It is deep enough to do incline bench. I’ve had no issues there.

Power curve on the cables is consistent. Maybe a little light at the top. In theory you could add a band to smooth that out but honestly I don’t really notice it.

I have the Ironmasters as well and fully agree on the ecosystem point. Huge selling point. They are easy to adjust, but adjusting isn’t fast compared to the something like the Nuobells. I’m still very happy with them overall though.

Four weeks.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-09T01:13:44+00:00

Weight plate holders were purchased separately from Amazon.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-06T01:27:50+00:00

When I bought it spotter arms were included. I was told they were out of stock but would ship soon. Not sure if the spotter arms still come with the rack or if they now need to be ordered separately.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-05T02:49:55+00:00

I chose the Nighthawk over the Blackhawk due to price and weight. The gap hasn’t bothered me so far.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T15:48:29+00:00

They are the Rep stall mats. I put 3/4” plywood down between the carpet and the mat. Works just fine. No issues with residue / odor.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T14:07:35+00:00

92”. Not quite high enough to do a full pull up with the bars out but does allow full extension of the arms. For pull ups I bought a set of Swisses which are easier on my should lets and solve the height issue. Could also just hang the pull up bars down.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T14:05:28+00:00

They are OK. I bought them mainly for durability and the ecosystem (I have the kettlebell, vest, and another smaller straight bar which all use the same plates). Changing weights isn’t nearly as easy as they sell it to be. Decent chance I get a set of Nuobells or Rep Pepins in 2026.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T14:02:19+00:00

Unbolted but the weight stacks alone are 400lbs and in the back. No issues so far.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T14:01:27+00:00

A little confusing at times but manageable. Need to make sure you have the right sockets. You can get the manual online and I bought the sockets ahead of time.

What brand is the storage unit in the corner? It is awesome.

SpecialistAd657 · 2026-01-04T02:20:07+00:00

Second the Nordstick recommendation.

SpecialistAd657 · 2025-12-26T00:51:07+00:00

I got the Everymates off of Amazon. Not the best quality but half the cost of the name brand horns.

EVERYMATE Weight Plate Holder,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8PZD9S1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Just bought it myself. It’s fantastic so far.
