3. Operating Instructions
The RitFit Folding Squat Rack offers multiple functionalities for a comprehensive workout. Familiarize yourself with its features for safe and effective use.
Folding Mechanism:
The rack features a 180-degree rotatable arm design with a four-pin lock system, allowing it to fold flat against the wall. To fold, remove the pins, rotate the arms inward, and re-insert the pins to secure. To unfold, reverse the process.

- Pin-on Pull-Up Bar: Easily attachable to the top crossbar, providing a stable bar for pull-ups and other bodyweight exercises.
- 360° Landmine: This attachment allows for dynamic movements like rows, lifts, and presses, engaging various muscle groups. Insert the barbell into the landmine sleeve.
Exercise Examples:
The rack supports a variety of exercises. Always ensure the rack is stable and all pins are securely in place before beginning any exercise.
- Squats: Position the J-hooks at the appropriate height for your squat.
- Bench Press: Use with a compatible weight bench (included in this package) and adjust J-hooks for bench press height.
- Pull-ups: Utilize the pin-on pull-up bar for various grip pull-ups.
- Landmine Exercises: Attach a barbell to the 360° landmine for rotational and pressing movements.
