X-3 Series Bolt-Down Rack
The X-3 is the ultimate 'budget heavy-duty' rack. It uses 3x3-inch 11-gauge steel, mimicking the specs of high-end racks at a fraction of the cost, and includes Westside hole spacing in the bench zone.
Ingredients & Purity
11-gauge steel, 3x3-inch uprights; uses 5/8-inch hardware which is standard but less beefy than the 1-inch hardware on the Monster or PR-5000.
Scientific Evidence
Rated for 1,500lbs total capacity; widely reviewed and torture-tested by the home gym community with positive results for safety.
Brand Transparency
Basic specifications are provided, though country of origin and specific steel grades are less transparent than premium brands.
Value Assessment
Unbeatable price for an 11-gauge rack; often includes free shipping, making it the most accessible entry point for a 'forever' rack.
Why Not Alternatives?
Titan is chosen for pure value; however, it ranks lower than Rogue or REP due to less consistent weld aesthetics and thinner powder coating that may chip over time.
