Squat Rack Or Power Rack Reddit

Big motivator for me going squat rack instead of power rack was not being able to bolt to the floor.

Squat rack or power rack reddit.

I used valor fitnessbd 9 power squat stands up until my squat started breaking 300 lbs for reps. As for bench i went with rogue flat utility 2 0. Thanks in advance i really appreciate the knowledge. Squat stands half racks are perfectly capable of handling any compound movement you re looking to do.

Haven t had to move anything else since i put it up. Most have the option of buying safety spotter arms so you can bench or squat safely and also use for rack pulls. If you re willing to go up to 250 i ve been using the fitness reality 810xlt for well over a year and it s held up beautifully. Squat stands generally don t offer up that much savings in terms of space since the uprights are mounted in the center of the braces on the bottom.

Hi i have a ceiling just under 7 feet in my basement. A former reddit user wrote for the price you get a great rack stable and well built and mentions this budget power rack also fits attachments from most major brands like titan. It may just feel like it s taking up less space. The extra safety of a power cage isn t necessary it s just nice to have.

I m aware of the titan t 2 short rack but if i could find a better one. Again the 810xlt is touted as mostly a beginner to intermediate rack with this user adding i don t lift heavy so for me it s perfect. The hole spacing is awesome i set my j hooks for squat and bench spotter arms are the same for both.
