You set the power rack to your lowest position and if you can't push up, you just rest the bar on the rack. This was a tough one...hmmm...

its a very simple thing. the 2 horizontal bars can be set at different heights. so set them an 1" below your squatting depth then if you need to bail use lower your self that extra 1" and the bars take the barbell.Originally Posted by ilovearnold

Definitely go with the Power Rack, any gym that doesn't have one is liable to have A LOT of injured customers. I won't do squats without one, it's far too dangerous even with perfect form.

Or have a good spotter that knows what he's doing. I prefer the power rack myself because I don't like someone hooking my armpits, lol

I always use a power rack, but if I'm going for my max, I'll get a spotter to help in case I can't get back up.

From the looks of that you can't do ATG squats because the extensions seem immovable from that pictureOriginally Posted by The Real Deal

That's the power rack I use. I can do a full squat, and my wrist just barely touch the bars. I like it that way though, let's me know when to power up. I'm 6'4, so it probably can't be done with shorter peopleOriginally Posted by The Real Deal

I've never had this happen because I use the lockout bars. You could just roll it off your back like Ronnie Coleman does when doing lunges.
