Instead of a squat rack

[L Sass]

Hi STS anticipators! I'm not terribly inclined to start looking at squat racks (so no enabling PLEASE) but I have this:

Had it for years but not really used it much since discovering Cathe DVDs. It's a basic squat machine goes up to over 300 pounds - do you all think I could use this instead of making another large piece of equipment purchase? (Realizing of course you all cannot speak to what will be done in STS)

If I am not mistaken, I think Kathryn has one of these also. I would not spend money on a squat rack if I had one. I am sure you could use that in place of regular BB squats.

Hey Lorrie. If you don't want that piece in your house anymore, I'd be GLAD to take it off your hands!

I plan to use mine for STS (and I've used it at times for other workouts, where I want to squat heavier than I can lift over my shoulders). Why buy a new piece of equipment when you've got another one (that wasn't cheap!). At least try it for a while and see if you like it. You could always buy a squat rck later (I personally wouldn't buy a one-piece squat rack, as they look like real space hogs. Better, IMO, are the two-piecers that are easier to store and are portable).
