How to Use this Squat Rack?

[solpic]

Hello everyone,

As of now I have never used a squat rack so I really don't know what I'm talking about, if this question is completely idiotic please let me know. Anyways, I'm looking for squat racks for my home gym and I came across the "PowerLine PSS60X Squat Fitness Gym Rack" on Amazon. It looks rather low for a squat rack, is it adjustable? Also, if someone could recommend a squat rack around that price range or lower that would be great too.

Thanks in advance

Anyways, I'm looking for squat racks for my home gym and I came across the "PowerLine PSS60X Squat Fitness Gym Rack" on Amazon. It looks rather low for a squat rack, is it adjustable? Also, if someone could recommend a squat rack around that price range or lower that would be great too.

Here's a direct link:

On that page, it says that the supports adjust from 30 to 60 inches. So, the maximum height is five feet which is probably high enough to function as a squat rack. (It depends upon how tall you are...)

That said, you should really look for something else. That rack has no spotting arms and is, therefore, not a safe solution.

Look for a power rack instead. Check Craigslist in your area; you should be able to find a used one that's within your budget.

You should spend some time reading the Power Rack Sticky. This will help you evaluate the various used racks that you might find.
