Bells Of Steel Hydra 2-Sided Rack - SET-2SIDE-HDR

Bells Of Steel Hydra 2-Sided Rack - SET-2SIDE-HDR

The Hydra 2-Sided Rack Builder is excellent for running highly efficient team training without taking up the floor space of a Hydra Rig.

Everything that is pictured is included: 84" uprights, 30" crossmembers, 13" plate pegs and more! Additional Hydra attachments are optional. The uprights measure true 3" x 3" which is EXACTLY 76.2mm x 76.2mm, instead of the typical 75mm x 75mm uprights of other brands' imported racks.

By matching the same tubing specs as many of our American competitors, you can mix and match attachments freely without needing to stick to one brand - hello, open ecosystem! Built with modular components, so you can divide it into smaller Hydra racks to accommodate a new home gym space or family workouts with your kids. Best of all, you can gaze into your swolemate's eyes while you lift.

The Hydra series of power racks are TRUE 3" x 3" tubing with 5/8" holes, so only Hydra attachments & non-B.o.S. attachments made precisely for 76.2mm x 76.2mm uprights with 1" holes will fit.

What our Experts Think  

• A best-in-class “light commercial” rack for serious home gyms. The Light Commercial Power Rack delivers a strong 2.3" × 2.3" steel frame with ⅝" holes, giving you a stable foundation for heavy squats, benching, and advanced rack work.
• Exceptional value thanks to included accessories. It ships with J-cups, roller J-cups, spotter straps, band pegs, and a pull-up bar—essentially covering most foundational lifting needs out of the box.
• Designed for safety-first training. Heavy-duty spotter straps and solid uprights support confident solo lifting, especially for bench press and squat variations where failure training is common.
• Smart hole spacing improves precision. Extra-close 1" spacing in the bench and pull zone allows highly accurate bar positioning, which matters for comfort, performance, and long-term progression.
• No need to bolt to the floor (in most setups). The flat-foot base design increases stability through surface contact, making it suitable for garage and home gym environments without permanent installation.
• Highly expandable ecosystem. Built around a 2.3" × 2.3" standard, it supports a wide range of attachments for future upgrades like pulleys, lever arms, and specialty stations.
• Best suited for: home gym lifters who want a durable, future-proof rack that can grow into a full training system without immediately moving into premium commercial pricing tiers.
• Expert tip: this rack shines most when paired with at least one cable or lat attachment—turning it from a basic lifting station into a complete strength and hypertrophy setup.
