I figured out the middle of the top stringer could go about 6’5″of the floor and the middle of the bottom could be 11″. I stood it up against the wall to get a feel for how everything would go. With the rack parts on the ground I bolted the swing arms to the uprights and connected the cross-bar. The first step was a shopping trip to Home Depot. I got a general idea of the install from a couple of YouTube videos, but mostly came up with my own method, which worked out really well. I emailed Titan Fitness in case anyone was working on the weekend. There was a card showing a URL to download a manual, but it was a broken link. Unfortunately there weren’t any instructions in any of the boxes. Let me explain how I did a solo install of the rack. About half the price of Rogue’s option! It even comes with an extra set of J-hooks. I found the Titan Fitness 21.5″ Fold Back Wall Mounted T-3 Power Rack, paid $284 for it, another $74 for spotter arms, and it shipped free. Rogue’s small one is $495, with another $163 for spotter arms, and doesn’t have free shipping. I wanted to get a wall-mounted folding rack. I’m not sure if I talked about it in previous posts, but I removed the lifting platforms and sold my large Rogue R3 power rack, which took up a lot of floor space. ![]() If you’ve been following my blog, you may remember posts where I created custom dumbbell storage, made a barbell accessory organizer, and figured out a way to store mats against the wall. I needed to significantly compress my garage gym space. ![]() Since I now have a truck and a car, I didn’t want to dedicate half of my garage to the gym I wanted to park both vehicles inside all year. Yesterday I installed a folding power rack in my garage, which completes my garage gym reorganization.
