This product is an absolute masterpiece. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I was dealing with something truly special. The craftsmanship is impeccable. The fit is flawless. It slid onto my rack like it was made for it. No fuss, no wobble, just pure perfection. Visually, it looks incredible. Sleek, solid, and seriously levels up the whole setup. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes you stop, admire, and think, “This is next level.”
Functionally, it is a total game changer. It is going to make working with commonly used bars smoother, more efficient, and honestly more enjoyable. I didn’t even realize how much I needed this until I had it in place. Now I can’t imagine training without it.
If I had to offer one small critique, it would be the bolts. The fully threaded design isn’t ideal, and the fact that they stick out more than an inch past my 2x3 uprights is a bit of an eyesore. It doesn’t take away from the performance, but it’s the only thing that kept this from being absolute perfection.
Final verdict. If you’re even thinking about it, just get it. Your rack will look better. Your training will feel better. And you’ll wonder why you waited.
I like the Barbell Anchor a lot. I installed it in my Rep PR-1100 rack (its approx. 2x2; if you are using the Barbell Anchor with a 2x2 rack, tell Darko that and ask for shims). My barbell lifts are all inside the rack. It is so much easier to take the bar down off the Barbell Anchor and put it on the j-cups than it is to take it out of the holder, turn it horizontal, move it into the rack and then put it on the j-cups. And vice versa.
Barbell anchor was exactly what I was looking for. Hugh quality and durable. A great way to store dumbbells. You can even use it as another pull up bar. Owner was super knowledgeable and went above and beyond to answer all my questions. Will definitely be buying more Darko products
This holder looks great and shipping was fast!
It’s great to get my barbells out of the way. Would definitely recommend.
