Just built the new rack. Some thoughts.
I just finished setting up the Rep Fitness Altitude Series.
It’s a great rack.
Solid. Well-built. A lot going on.
And that’s the point.
The cables? Nice to have.
Not mandatory.
Same with most of the features.
What actually matters is this:
⁉️ Are you showing up and training with what you already have?
Because without a plan, even a great setup can feel overwhelming.
I’ll say this though,
the Smith machine is legit if you’re crunched for time.
No J-cups.
No long setup.
Controlled reps.
Safer when you’re rushing or training solo.
You lose some free-weight intensity, sure.
But the control and efficiency go a long way on busy days.
That’s how I look at it:
- Free weights when I can
- Smith when I need speed and safety
Same goal. Different tool.
Curious,
What part of your setup helps you train more consistently, not impressively?
Drop it below.
