Good Budget Space Saving Squat Stand Rack
This is a good budget space saving squat stand rack. I have limited space in my garage, so this was the perfect option (I can't fit a power cage and had only 18-inches of clearance behind my truck). It took less than an hour to assemble (having a socket wrench helps) on my own.
Is this the most stable squat rack? No it isn't, nor should you expect it to be for less than $100. I'm not trying to bench or squat 400 pounds off this thing. For the price point, it will allow me to barbell bench, overhead press and squat a decent amount of weight (100 to 250 pound range) with decent stability and safety.
It comes with weight plate holders and changes width and height relatively quickly. I was even able to add a landmine attachment that fits perfectly. I was nervous the stability bar would get in the way of unracking for squats, but it does not. If you have the space for a larger squat stand or power cage with greater weight capacity, I would skip buying this. However, this is perfect given my current space constraints. Do what you can with what you have.
