Performance Benefits
Optimized for Gymnastics: The increased height of the uprights (up to 15') makes this the premier rig for attaching climbing ropes and gymnastics rings, providing the necessary clearance for muscle-ups and high-rep movements.
Heavy-Duty Stability: The 3x3" 11-gauge steel construction ensures that the rig remains rock-solid during high-momentum movements like butterfly pull-ups or heavy eccentric barbell drops.
Westside Hole Spacing: The specific spacing through the mid-section allows for precise J-cup placement, ensuring the perfect liftoff height for bench press.
Maintenance and Care
Fastener Inspection: Regularly check the 5/8" hardware to ensure all bolts remain tight, especially those securing the pull-up bars and overhead crossmembers.
Cleaning: Wipe down pull-up bars and uprights with a damp cloth to remove excess chalk and perspiration, which can lead to premature wear of the powdercoat.
UHMW Liner Check: Periodically inspect the J-cup plastic liners. If they become thin or cracked, replace them to prevent the steel from scratching your barbell knurling.
Floor Anchor Maintenance: Ensure the floor anchors remain flush and tight. If movement is detected at the base, re-torque the anchors immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rig have to be bolted to the floor? A: Yes. For safety reasons, the V2 Castro Rig must be securely anchored to a concrete floor before use to prevent tipping during gymnastics or rope climbs. Concrete anchors are included.
Q: Can I add Monster Lite accessories to this rig? A: Yes. The V2 Castro Rig is part of the Monster Lite family (3x3" steel with 5/8" holes), meaning it is compatible with the full range of Monster Lite attachments, including Matadors, Spotter Arms, and Plate Storage.
Q: Is the rope and ring setup included? A: No. The rig provides the structural frame and pull-up bars. Climbing ropes, gymnastics rings, and the necessary hangers are sold separately.
