are there j-hooks we can buy that fit the holes for this rig. The j hooks that come with this rig are at an angle where my barbell gets stuck
The BD-9 j-hooks that come with the unit are the only bar catches we have that fit those stands.
-
Do the 1” x 7 “ storage pegs located on the base Of the stands come off or are the welded on. I’m storing the stands behind a couch and would like to dismantle the pegs without dismantling the stands.
The weight pegs are not welded to the frame, so if you need to dismantle them you can do so.

What is the weight limit for the adjustable upright bar catches and the safety catches? I understand 350lb "total" weight downwards from the description but my question is can the upright bar catch or safety catch accommodate 350lb by itself (with no other weight on the other catches). I ordered this unit yesterday and just want to make sure that I know the limits as I want to be safe. Thanks for your help.
The total maximum weight load for the entire unit (at any position) is 350 lb. Whether it's racked or resting on the spotter arms, or in use, the maximum weight load of 350 lb applies.
-

The knobs are a M16 size, with a pitch (threading size) of 1.5. The size of the head of the knob is 38mm wide, or 1.5".

Is there any way to add a pull up bar to this product?
We apologize, we do not offer any pull up bar attachments for this product.

Customer Reviews
Works as described - no issues
I’ve had this squat stand, bought from Dick’s Sporting Goods back in 2005 and it’s still going strong. Quality material that’s lasted me through thousands of workouts over the years. Cannot recommend enough.
I think this is an excellent product.
Sturdy material
I love this product, great value for the price.
Perfect application and great quality
This has to be the most straight-forward procedure in terms of assembly. There is really no need for a manual as the visualizations on the BD-9's information page can guide you through the process. This is to the third piece of equipment I've purchased through Valor Fitness in which, I've followed the above method.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the option to expand the base of the legs to ensure greater stability
I can assure you the rubber feet require no additional ointments other than a little wiggle and, pushing the rubber feet on to the legs with the palm of your hand. You could use a hammer just to ensure the rubber feet are secure in place. No ointments are required.
The only thing I would love to see offered is holes on base of the legs in all of your products, to allow you have the option to, bolt the unit to the floor. As with my BD-47, I have taken the liberty to drill holes in the base of the legs to screw the BD-9 to the floor.
I might add, Valor Fitness tracking status on the whereabouts of your order is excellent. It would be nice to see some new products added to your inventory.
Solid product, however putting this together and getting the rubber footers on become a real choir and i had to use butter... yes, butter, to help get the rubber footers on. This is something that needs to be done BEFORE it is sent out. Because of that, I am having to mark it down. Ease of use when putting something like this together needs to be taken into account.
As a result of the pandemic I was forced to create my own home gym. As I was scouring the internet I found a couple of squat racks that look very similar to the BD-9. However, after reading about the features, comparing prices and reading comparable reviews I decided to purchase the BD-9 and I am thus far so glad I did. Not only does it look great, but the materials and craftsmanship are awesome. It arrived in a box with every component individually wrapped and protected. It took me about 20 min are so to put everything together. Aside from the safety features, I personally love the adjustable base for added stability. The BD-9 was a little bit more than some of the similar items; but very reasonably priced here and certainly well worth it.
These squat stands were exactly what I was looking for: a low profile, portable way to get quality barbell work in at home. Ive loaded up to 405 lbs on these stands and it felt surprisingly sturdier than I expected. I would recommend these stands to anyone whos looking for a low budget but reliable option when it comes to a squat rack.
