Body-Solid Olympic Plate Tree Bar Holder (GOWT)


Body-Solid Olympic Plate Tree Bar Holder (GOWT)
Very good value for the money. I would actually give this 4.5 stars as it has some minor flaws.This holds a lot of weight. I have ten 45s on the bottom rung and 25s, 10s and 5s on the two upper rungs. I can fit two more 45s on the bottom rung for 12 total. That’s 540 pounds just in 45s which if you work out alone is probably more than you will ever need.Construction is sturdy for the price and assembly took less than 15 minutes.Now for the negatives. The posts do NOT have pre-drilled holes so you have to center it yourself. There is about 8″ on each side if centered properly but the posts tend to shift while tightening so it’s tough to get dead center. No biggie though.Also, the bar holders won’t really work with 45s on the bottom unless you space them away from the upright post. Otherwise the plates are too close to allow the bar to fit in. This is not important to me but you should be aware of it.I always thought plate trees should be designed so that you can fit 45s on any post. This one does not allow that. However since it holds 12 on the bottom it’s enough for just about anybody. Also you can put 45s on the top and bottom if you don’t install the middle post. That will give you 24 45s. Unless you are a Mr. Olympia contestant you will have no need for that much capacity.
