Power Rack question

[Mike_Rojas]

I'm looking for a power rack. Any tips or suggestions? Something not too expensive but functional and strong (so I don't have to buy another down the road).

They almost always have a model on sale with free freight.

How can you do squats without a power rack?

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Very carefully.. ha ha. No, I have a safety catch to dump the bar on.

Why are you cutting yours? When I ordered mine, I had them add 9" to it. It is 7'-9", that way I can do overhead presses and jerk supports.

Got it today but did`nt set it up yet. Gotta make a trip to the steel shop for cutting and drilling new holes. but it looks good so far. Gotta love those numbers on the poles so you can put the supports evenly.
I`m a little confused about the dip bars though. It`s either they`re too wide or the whole units too narrow??? we`ll see soon enough. Now I gotta put my Smith Machine somewhere. lol
