The Smith Machine Attachment transforms home-gym training by offering all the benefits of a Smith machine without sacrificing any power rack functionality. You no longer need a costly, space-consuming, stand-alone Smith machine usually found only in commercial gyms — now you can seamlessly integrate this versatile attachment directly onto your current PR-5000 or PR-4000 power rack (80" & 93" upright height options). In fact, REP's Smith Machine Attachment goes above and beyond standard Smith machines, with increased range of motion, multiple configurable angles, and more. Whether you're new to lifting and seeking the confidence and foundational strength this attachment can provide, or an experienced lifter aiming for precise muscle isolation and specialized movements, this will exceed your expectations. Smith machines can provide controlled, safe, and targeted lifting, helping you build strength, improve technique, and reduce injury risk.
Select from different racking directions and three adjustable angles to best suit your training needs.
The attachment also offers a wider range of motion than normal Smith machines--so your low starting point compares with the height of a loaded free barbell, and the top point won't limit overhead exercises.
Product Highlights:
- •Adjustability: Customize your setup with three angled options (-7, 0, and +7 degrees).
- •Enhanced Range of Motion: Perform exercises from the floor (e.g., Pendlay rows) to overhead movements without restrictions, mirroring free-weight lifting.
- •Space Efficiency & Modularity: Attach this compact Smith machine directly onto your existing REP power rack—even with Athena™ or Ares™ cable attachments—for an all-in-one versatile gym solution at home.
Just make sure you have a six-post configuration, and the attachments will not get in the way of each other. REP is also working on additional solutions that will allow for further 4-post Ares 2.0 / Athena compatibility.
A Smith machine can be safer because it allows you to easily latch the bar onto built-in catches if you reach failure during a lift. Instead of needing to maneuver out from under a heavy free barbell or dropping the weight onto safeties, the Smith machine lets you safely and gently lock the bar just inches below your current lifting position, reducing the risk of injury.
A Smith machine can reduce the neurological demand needed for balance and stabilization compared with free weights. By limiting the need to stabilize the bar, it decreases central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, enabling lifters to perform higher training volume and more targeted muscle activation—especially beneficial for untrained or beginner lifters aiming to isolate specific muscle groups effectively.
No, it does not work on REP's Omni™, Apollo™, 1000 series racks, squat rack (SR-4000), the Oxylus™ yoke, or the PR-4100 Folding Squat Rack.
It's named after its inventor, Rudy Smith, who originally designed it in the 1950s.
There is a lifetime warranty on structural welds on attachments and frames, a one-year warranty on pulleys, bearings, and cables and warranty dependent on the which type of barbell.
