Hmm, it doesn't look bad at all for $200. How much weight can it hold?

You'd be better off with a full olympic weight set for $100.

Go check independent sport stores. I find it hard to believe that there aren't ANY at all in vancouver. I can't tell where you can do squats on this. I doubt it.
EDIT: Wait - it looks like you can move the bench out. Yes, in that case you could do them, but there is no safety bar.Last edited by betastas; 03-27-2006 at 07:31 PM.

it says in the description you can squat with ease i belive the bench is removable and you can squat on the rack..

???

I think it is a good deal for $200. Get that with an olympic weight set and youll be set!
-
is that a good enough rack to do squats on?

Email the company and ask them how much weight the rack can support.

the problem is there are no racks around here only 400 minimum squat rack at fitness depot,the worst one in the store!! I can order something from sportmart for 199.99, but the sites down, its like a half power rack, but i think the shippin can be expensive..
-
so if all you want to do is squats then why buy what you already have. You have $250 right now why not wait till you can afford a power rack.

or hell, just build one. nail together some 2X4's & 4X4's just below parallel. Something just wide enough to slide into the rack. Just be sure it can easily support the weight you plan on using.
