Amazon Pulley System

The Amazon Pulley System is a budget rack-mounted cable pulley kit, made by FASPUP, that turns any solid pull-up bar, squat rack, or power rack crossbeam into a single-point cable station. A nylon strap loops over the bar to hang a stainless-steel pulley wheel, through which a steel cable runs down to an extension pin that loads standard 1” or 2” Olympic weight plates – there’s no dedicated weight stack, so you supply the plates. It ships with a straight handlebar, a tricep rope, and carabiners, covering lat pulldowns, tricep pushdowns, curls, rows, and face pulls off a single rack-mounted point.

It’s a bare-bones alternative to a purpose-built cable machine or Rhino-style functional trainer, not a replacement for one: there’s only a single pulley point (no adjustable height carriage or dual-stack setup), and GymRadar owners who’ve run it for a while describe threading a new plate onto the pin as “a pain in the ass” and say they wouldn’t trust it loaded much past 150-200 lb despite the listing’s 300 lb pin rating. It’s best suited as a low-cost way to add basic cable movements to a rack that doesn’t already have them, not as a primary training tool for heavy cable work.

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

This Amazon-listed FASPUP cable pulley is a bare-bones way to add rack-mounted cable work – lat pulldowns, tricep pushdowns, curls, face pulls, rows – for a fraction of the cost of a cable stack machine, and owners agree it’s worth the roughly $50 asking price. Value is the standout: GymRadar owners rate it a perfect 5.00/5 on value even while marking it down elsewhere. Build quality and durability are the weak points – the same owner panel calls it “janky” and “a pain in the ass to load,” and one gym operator caps their loading around 150 lb, saying they wouldn’t trust it past 200 despite the listed 300 lb pin rating.

  • +Value: GymRadar owners rate it a perfect 5.00/5 on value -- a legitimate low-cost way to add cable movements to an existing rack (GymRadar)
  • +Versatility: covers lat pulldowns, tricep pushdowns, rows, curls, face pulls, and single-arm chest presses off any solid bar (YouTube: FASPUP Fitness Pulley Cable System Training And Review)
  • +Functionality: the pulley keeps resistance consistent through the full range of motion, an advantage over the uneven strength curve of comparable dumbbell exercises (YouTube: Cable Pulley System Review for Home Gym)
  • Build quality: GymRadar owners rate build quality just 2.67/5 and describe it as "janky" and "a pain in the ass to load" (GymRadar)
  • Durability: one gym operator has loaded it to 150 lb and says they wouldn't trust it past 200, well under the 300 lb pin rating the listing claims (GymRadar)
  • Functionality: budget cable-pulley kits like this commonly ship with cheap stock attachments and can swing under poor form, per a reviewer of the same category of product (YouTube: Cable Pulley System Review for Home Gym)
  • Durability: coverage is thin -- no independent expert review exists for this exact SKU, so long-term wear is unverified beyond the small GymRadar owner panel
