The widest rack here, so a real wide grip finally fits.
The number that settles it is 47.44 — the width of this rack, and the widest in the group by a good margin. Rack width decides whether a bench press feels like a bench press or like an unplanned close-grip set, and this is the one set here that gives a broad-shouldered lifter room for a real grip without knuckles against the uprights.
Behind the rack sits a proper adjustable bench: the backpad runs from -30° to 90° across eight positions, so decline sit-ups and incline presses come off the same frame. Four protective catches and a safety pin give a solo session a backstop, which matters more in a garage than any padding figure. YOLEO also publishes capacity by component instead of one heroic total — 880 pounds for the bench, 660 for the rack, 440 for the leg frame — and we trust that arithmetic more than a single headline number.
Bar length is the thing to get right. A rack this wide eats shaft, so a 6-foot bar ends up with the plates crowding the uprights; a 7-foot Olympic bar is the pairing that makes sense. It is also 81.6 pounds fully assembled, so wherever you build it is where it stays.
Bottom Line
We recommend it for wide-grip pressers: no other rack here gives your hands this much room, and the catches make solo sessions safer.
What We Like
- Widest rack here at 47.44 inches
- Four bar catches plus a safety pin
- Eight backpad positions from -30° to 90°
- Capacity published per component, not one total
Worth Noting
- Firm, thin padding with a gap at the seat hinge
- 93.7-inch depth wants a permanent wall
