it's getting to the point with me where i really dislike squatting in a cage for some reason. not enough reason to cry about it when i have to by any means, i just dont like it. i'd much rather squat out of a squat stand, not really sure why.

I agree....except that I really like those safety pins. Best thing ever is a mono with safety straps IMO....but even those can get in your way. The claustrophobic feeling in a cage can get to you.

yeah, that's probably it.

[mmorton]

I don't mind either. The steel plates are next to the full racks so I always squat in them. When I do oly and stuff I'll go platform and free ball

My head sticks out the top of most squat racks

I do like my sumo rack because you don't feel so bunched up.

You should probably get some custom j'hooks and bring them in there when you squat.

For some reason I clip the rack when unracking in that particular rack more than the others... wonder if it's a slightly different size or configuration.

Probably just a sh*t product with no thought into its design. I wonder if the manufacturer even lifts.

[Anthony21]

If you're looking for some custom J hooks I ordered mine from Black Widow Training.

[bigwade800]

can find them on different websites for about half what you'll pay for something custom made

Simply measure the rack, punch it in and for about $30 and shipping, new J-hooks.

Or use the leg press
