Hydra Rack

Hydra Rack

Like a mullet haircut, the 6 Post Power Rack is all business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back. Its 1,000-pound capacity outlasts heavy pull-ups, handles big bench presses and withstands you squatting a league of ancient Giants (pics or it didn't happen). As a beefed-up version of our classic 4 Post Rack, it'll store your weight plate collection and maximize your space - an organized being is an all-powerful being. The uprights measure true 3" x 3" which is EXACTLY 76.2mm x 76.2mm, instead of the typical 75mm x 75mm uprights of other brands' imported racks. By matching the same tubing specs as many of our American competitors, you can mix and match attachments freely without needing to stick to one brand - hello, open ecosystem! Built with modular components, so you can expand later with Hydra components or divide it into two smaller Hydra racks to accommodate a new home gym space or team workouts with your swolemate. Compatible with all Hydra rack attachments, like the hyper-versatile Hydra Lat Pulldown.

Very solid rack that should hold up to years of wear & abuse. Solid construction & good welds on this piece. Built to accommodate future expansion and plenty of add-ons. One minor, nitpicky complaint is that other colour options would be nice, although this has nothing to do with performance. Highly recommend.

It's a 3x3 11 gauge rack. What else is there? Okay, the fit and finish on this is fine though I'd prefer if they had gone with the more traditional square footplate at the base of the uprights just for that weee bit more stability. It isn't gonna fall over by any means but you'll want to have a legit rear crossmember with more depth to help make it more stable side to side. The powder coating is okay even though they've only come out with 3 colors but hey... at least you have a couple different choices besides flat black.

This is a solid true 3x3 rack with 5/8” holes. I started with a 4 post rack with 30” depth. I added wings later for additional storage. I’m fairly new to the home gym scene and this rack definitely meets all my needs. As I’ve gotten deeper into my home gym, I don’t know if it meets all my wants now. I’d have more attachment options with a 1” rack but that comes with more cost. The rack itself is well built. The welds aren’t pretty but they are solid. The powder coating looks good but is prone to scuffing. All in all this has been a great first rack for me and I have no regrets having bought it.

It’s a good, sturdy, true 3*3 5/8 rack with westside spacing. It comes with bolts if you want to screw it into the floor. The only problem I’ve run into is the some of the welds aren’t great, not bad just not pretty.

Initially, I started my gym with this rack in a flat foot configuration and eventually upgraded it to a 6 post. This thing has been a workhorse and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality rack that doesn’t break the bank. The hole numbering makes it easy to get attachments right where you need them. The standardized upright sizing means attachments from other companies play nice. Biggest downsides are a 1” rack would give you slightly more versatility and there aren’t any options for customizing the color of the rack.
