Power rack

A power rack is a sturdy cage-like frame of four uprights that surrounds the lifter on all sides. Its adjustable holes hold hooks for the bar and strong safety bars that stop the bar at a chosen height if a lift fails. This makes heavy squats, bench presses and overhead presses safe even when training alone. The cage is a highly versatile hub for strength training, enabling almost all major barbell lifts to be performed safely and in a controlled manner.
