Wes Carter

Wes Carter is a strength coach who has built and trained in dozens of home gyms, from a single rack in a garage corner to full setups with cables and platforms. He started Rack & Rep because most home gym content online is either a spec sheet or a push toward the most expensive brand.

For every piece he reviews, he builds it, loads it heavy, checks the gauge and the welds, and lives with it for weeks before he ranks it. He leads every guide with the best value, because the value rack and the value bar are genuinely good enough for almost everyone, and he only points you to premium gear when it earns the spend.
