I want to buy this + bumper plates. Will it fall apart after being dropped in deadlifts &amp; power cleans?

Personally I wouldn't throw the bar around too much. It is three pieces held together with pins. The pins may come loose.

I try my very best to avoid letting clients drop the dumbbells on the rubber flooring, but it happens occasionally and I have never noticed any type of damage whatsoever. I would be more worried for the floor! I always re-tighten the dumbbells if they do drop on the ground, just to be safe.

I have lifted only a couple of times with it. It worked fairly well. I run mostly. After a three mile run if didn't shift much if you're worried about it sliding around. Hope this helps.

Sports smith or Rouge fitness has the cheapest. Just Google bumper plate racks. Those companies should pop right up. Hope that helps. E

One of the reviewers of the dumbbell set referred people to this site and said it's the cheapest he could find for add-on plates. http://www.warehousefitness.com/exercise-equipment/RDD/default.aspx Hope this helps!

No. The rack doesn't actually put any weight on the bumper. There are steel brackets that bolt to the frame and provides a flat support just above the factory bumper. You can't see it in the picture but it works well although it is a little tricky to get them in place.. Each bracket requires 3 bolts two of which use existing holes in the frame. You do need to drill one hole in the frame on each side. This is underneath where you won't see it should you decide to remove the roof rack. I have this on mine with the factory bumper and it works great.

Yes. I've been using this for two years. It is great for anyone whether they're doing P90-X, standard lifting, etc. I'd go with this combo specifically too. Doesnt take up too much room and makes for easier weight adjustment. Almost no assembly so he can get right to work!

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

Not 100% certain, but probably so. The issue comes down to this: How much stress are you putting the ring joint through? A monster, gorilla lifter would certainly stress the joint to the point of breakage. Based on the uniformity of reviews on Amazon I think this set is pretty durable. Not a lot of folks speak of breakage. There is also the warranty.

I think it holds very well. There is a very long line of velcro (not sure if its actually velcro but for lack of a better term we will go with that). I only deadlift around 165 as of right now, however, i have workout friends that do go up to 300 easy that have the same belt as me. I dont want to speak for them, but it never looks like it needs to be adjusted. I open mine and tighten it sometimes but thats for personal preference...it does not open up on me at all. A large amount of crossfitters have this at our box, so I think you would be good to go! Hope that helps!

Just like James stated below I haven't push it that far but currently I have 2 45 rubberized plates on then (larger than solid steel plates) and I would say I have enough room to out 4 on each side but the nylon braided core do rope will fail first. For a home gym I think it's adequate as it fits the cage very well.I wouldn't push it past 200 personally but if your lifting that kind of weight in a pulldown you should be telling me how to workout! I'm just a desk jockey trying to stay in shape at home..Very pleased with both the construction quality of it and the cage with the price I paid for them...However I think it was in the instructions and cab be found on X marks website.

Better yet. Go on eBay and get a new case (different color) for $7. Comes with extra bumpers.

It's a good bumper, if you plan on using the bull bar though I'd recommend spraying some paint into the drain holes in the bottom of the bars plates that sit on the bumper. I had some rust residue after the first couple rains.

depends on what kind of barbell you have. the thing on the front that you use for leg curls etc fits 1" plates. if you can afford it, buy a proper power cage and bench. this one is pretty wobbly. i had to build wood supports to keep the bench stable when pressing.

I'm not sure about that. But, the weight plates wi fit most barbells. You can just go to a sporting goods store and get more plates or a barbell

work the lift by hand 5 or 6 times to free it up.it's new and stiff,it will work fine.IRVINYARUS

They can fit like 25lb plates. How would a rack assist with deadlifts? lol. Go buy a cheap flat bench and you do bench press. Its worth the money. I have one and love it.
