Cathe...STS Legs

[monse]

Since legs you cannot go extremely heavy without some assistance, I would love if you can use a squat rack for those that enjoy heavy squatting (personally I love heavy squatting). I found a website that sells them (lower price).

P.S. This is just a suggestion. Have a wonderful afternoon!!!!

For those who don't have room to store that one-piece rack, here is a two-piece option (that I FINALLY found after looking for a long time--I haven't ordered them yet, but I used something like this in a weight-training class in school, and they worked great):

That squat rack from Power-systems looks nice....

Kathryn-

Thank you for your post. I have been searching for this particular squat rack. I owned it several years ago, but I got rid of it when I moved, and I could not recall the manufacturer. It is a great piece of equipment. It is worth the extra $$$ to have a two-piece rack. It is very sturdy.

Thanks again,
Debbie Russo

I found another website, two different squat racks one for $156 and another one for $159, follow the link and scroll down...

Debbie:
I've been looking for a rack (or rack set) like this for a long time myself.

How is it for storage? Do the two pieces stand next to each other pretty closely? My main concern with any rack (beyond stability) is space!

TIA

If you "stagger" the cross legs so that they fit inside each other, the two pieces stand very close.

It also has a good height adjustment range. I used it for horizontal pull-ups.

I'll be ordering mine before the end of the week.
