I m aware of the titan t 2 short rack but if i could find a better one.
Squat rack or power rack reddit.
I used valor fitnessbd 9 power squat stands up until my squat started breaking 300 lbs for reps.
The extra safety of a power cage isn t necessary it s just nice to have.
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.
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.
I have a half rack with weight storage and the only downside for me is that i can t use the pull up bar if i m doing anything else in the rack.
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.
The hole spacing is awesome i set my j hooks for squat and bench spotter arms are the same for both.
Thanks in advance i really appreciate the knowledge.
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.
Hi i have a ceiling just under 7 feet in my basement.
Haven t had to move anything else since i put it up.
As for bench i went with rogue flat utility 2 0.
It may just feel like it s taking up less space.
Most have the option of buying safety spotter arms so you can bench or squat safely and also use for rack pulls.
Squat stands half racks are perfectly capable of handling any compound movement you re looking to do.
