SQUAT RACKS & STANDS

Squat Racks, Squat Stands, Power Stands, Open Cages, Combo Racks...

This category section includes those stations often favoured (yes, over a power rack!) to squat from, amongst other exercises. This includes, but is not limited to, combo racks (even IPF Approved ones), squat and power stands, open racks/ cages, and squat racks. You may even get some half racks in here.

What are the differences of the gym kit?

Hopefully, the images and descriptions help explain best the differences between the various options. I'll start with a couple of the more unusual ones - an open cage is like a convertible power rack, lying somewhere between a power rack and a half rack. The days an open rack/ cage is probably the rarest of the lot, but I love them. A combo rack is used in powerlifting competition for the bench press and squat element. At first glance, you'll think it's a bench press, but, check out the photos, as you'll see the bench is easily moved revealing a pair of squat stands, with the ability to tilt inwards for the larger user. Combo racks are used in various powerlifting organisations, we even offer one that's IPF Approved. Squat/ Power Stands are oversized stands, linked or seperate. Power stands are perhaps most-popular in weightlifting environments to practice elements of the lift or just to squat heavy. A squat rack is visually very similar to an open cage, but tends to have a scaling of lift-off hooks (a slope) and sometimes with adjustable safeties or fixed safeties.
