The XPT self spotting bar can be retrofitted to any existing power rack that has at least 5/8 inch diameter holes on the front of the uprights, that is made up of at least 11 gauged steel and is either 3 x 3, 3 x 2, 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 ( Width x Depth in inches. The 2 x 2 and 2 x 3 sizes require an extra add on roller kit for an extra 99.99$). This bar makes adding a self spotting option for overcoming isometrics, bar launches, lifting with no spotter and many other uses, to your training space easy. It takes up no extra space. When not in use, it can either be stored by placing it high on the rack out of the way, or can be easily taken off the rack all together.
Dimensions length of the bar is 86 inches wide. Starting weight is 110 lbs. Counter balancing the bar to 45lbs option to come in the future. *These are scheduled to ship early February 2023.

I was looking for a smith machine type bar to attach to my rack. I have a PRX rack. Came across this one. I have been happy with it. I can squat, bench without a spotter in my home gym.

I have a Rouge monster rack. I have been looking for a attachable smith machine. This one can lock in like a smith, but also doesn’t have to be locked. The handles that control the racking of the bar can take some time to get used to.

At first I was kind of frustrated with the handles. Its just different. But, I kept at trying to get used to them. Have to say, they are really convenient. Its like you have safety spotters that move up and down with you, that at any time you can engage. Makes working out solo a lot more comfortable.

We understand that the self spotting system is very different form conventional ways of weight lifting. Way to stay with it!
