Talk to a squat rack specialist| Frame (Squat Rack) | 50mm x 50mm steel |
| Warranty | 12 Months Parts Replacement |
If you're setting up a first home gym and want to squat, press and curl from one corner, this CORTEX package pairs a 50mm steel rack rated to 200 kg on the safety spot bars with 75 kg of cast iron plates, a 6ft barbell, an EZ curl bar and dumbbell handles. The FID bench adjusts flat, incline and decline through 8 backrest and 4 seat positions, so you cover the main compound lifts from day one.
It suits a solo lifter who wants a complete starting set-up rather than buying parts piece by piece, with pull-up handles rated to 150 kg and resistance band pegs built into the frame. The rack goes together in four steps in the manual, and the bench rolls on transport wheels when you need the floor back.
What stands out is the 200kg safety spot bar rating paired with resistance band pegs: you can push heavy sets solo, then switch to banded accessory work without owning a cable machine.
The 25mm standard plates and bars won't take Olympic-spec gear, so budget lifters stay in the standard system. The included FID bench rolls on transport wheels, which makes reconfiguring the setup genuinely easy.

The SR3 is the backbone of this package: a 50mm x 50mm steel squat rack that handles squats, presses, rack pulls and pull-ups from one footprint. Everything else in the set bolts onto, or trains around, this frame.
At 100 cm deep and 161 cm wide, it takes up about the space of a single-car parking bay section in a garage gym.
What this means for you: One frame covers your main compound lifts without needing separate stations.
The frame includes resistance band pegs, so you can add band tension to lifts or run band-only movements like pull-aparts, face pulls and assisted pull-ups. It turns a static rack into something you can scale without more plates.
What this means for you: Handy for accessory volume and lighter sessions between heavy days.
The package includes the CORTEX BN-9 FID bench, which adjusts to flat, incline and decline positions with 8 backrest and 4 seat settings. Pair it with the rack and you can bench press, do incline dumbbell work and decline sit-ups from the same corner of the room.
What this means for you: The bench is what opens up pressing and seated accessory work alongside the rack.
The BN-9's FID design means one bench covers flat press, incline press and decline movements instead of three fixed benches. In practice, you change the whole emphasis of a chest or shoulder session just by resetting the backrest.
What this means for you: Train upper, mid and lower chest without buying separate benches.
The rack uses 50mm x 50mm steel and the plates are cast iron, so the whole set-up is built to sit still under load rather than flex or shift. The plate and bar set comes to about 90 kg once you add the bars and handles to the 75 kg of plates.
What this means for you: A solid base that grows with the lifter rather than something you replace in a year.
The package arrives loaded with 75 kg of cast iron tri-grip plates plus the bars, giving you a ready-to-train weight set from day one. The tri-grip cutouts make the plates easier to carry and load on and off the bar.
Plate hole diameter is 25 mm, matching the standard bars included: a 6ft barbell, an EZ curl bar and two dumbbell handles.
What this means for you: A complete starting weight set, no extra plates needed to begin training.

Effort: the rack has 4 assembly steps in its manual, using the supplied M10 carriage bolts, nuts and washers; the BN-9 bench assembles separately.
The whole set ships flat-packed in cartons: the 50mm steel rack, the BN-9 bench, the barbells and the 75kg of cast iron plates. The plates make it heavy, so expect multiple boxes. Check the cartons on arrival and keep them until you've confirmed everything's accounted for.
Take photos before you start assembling and email them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, organise replacement parts, and stay on it until you're set up. You don't chase the courier or the manufacturer yourself. With cast iron plates it's worth a quick count against the list: 4x 1.25kg, 4x 2.5kg, 4x 5kg, 4x 10kg.
The rack manual runs to 4 steps: you bolt the 50mm steel frame together with the supplied M10 carriage bolts, nuts and washers, fit the J-hooks, safety spot bars and pull-up bar handles, then set up the BN-9 bench. The bench has transport wheels, so you can move it into position easily once it's built. Work on a flat, level floor with at least 2 m of free space around the rack, as the manual asks.
Yes. The rack stands 200cm tall, and most Australian ceilings sit around 240cm, so you've got clearance to spare. The footprint is 100cm x 161cm, so measure your training space for width rather than height. If you plan to use the pull-up bar handles, leave a little extra room overhead so you're not brushing the ceiling at the top of a rep.
The J-hooks are rated to 180kg, the safety spot bars to 200kg, and the pull-up bar handles to 150kg. The frame is 50mm x 50mm steel, so it's built for real loads. The 75kg of included plates is a solid starting point, and you can add standard 25mm plates as you progress. The spot bars drop to 530mm, low enough to catch a failed squat.
It's built for someone setting up a home gym from scratch who wants squats, presses, pull-ups and curls covered in one buy. The FID bench handles flat, incline and decline work, and the standard 6ft barbell plus EZ curl bar give you a full upper and lower body range. The 75kg of plates suits beginners through to steady intermediate lifters, with room to add more later.
Yes. The rack takes both standard 6ft and Olympic 7ft barbells, so it grows with you if you upgrade bars later. The included plates use a 25mm hole, which matches the standard 6ft barbell, EZ curl bar and dumbbell handles in the set. If you own Olympic 50mm plates, you'll need an Olympic bar and those won't fit the standard handles.
