What is a Squat Rack and do you really need one? 

A squat rack is a piece of Weightlifting equipment found in the majority of gyms where free weights are present. Usually made from steel, they need to be incredibly strong so that they don’t break or tip over when supporting heavy loads. 

Squats are without a doubt one of the most efficient exercises you can do, so if you’re not squatting – you should be! The main use of a Squat Rack is to assist you in progressing your squats by way of adding increments of weight.

Most Squat Racks also have safety features designed to help prevent injury to both the lifter and those around them. Their design ensures them to catch the weight if the user fails mid-lift, stopping it from crushing them. You can never be too safe when it comes to working out!
