Power racks are large metal frames built to provide a stable base to provide support when you do your weight lifting workout. It allows you to perform exercises involving heavy weights safely and effectively without having to need a spotter. That doesn't mean that it prevents injuries, you still have to incorporate proper form, execution of the moves and gradual progression of your exercise. A power rack usually is seven feet in height, six feet in length, and five feet in width with adjustable bars on the sides to hold the weights at various heights. The bars at the sides can be adjusted forward and backward, and upward and downward, depending on which muscles you are targeting. The hooks on the sides of the frame serve as a spotter when lifting heavy weights where a person can place the weights when they need to take a rest or if it is heavier than expected.
Power racks can also have extra features such as chin up bars to do pull-ups, dip bars for working out your triceps muscles, and a lat tower where you can do lat pull downs or low rows to strengthen your back muscles. When looking for a power rack you must first determine your workout needs and the quality or design of the power rack that suits your regular usage and workout style.
When you compare power racks from squat racks, the first difference you're going to notice is their size. You can perform more varieties of exercises with a power rack with it's generous features and more sturdy built compared to a squat rack where you can only do limited types of exercise. The upside to using a squat rack since it's smaller, it can fit into small spaces and be moved with ease. It's perfect for apartments or small rooms. It is also cheaper than a power rack since you don't need to buy Olympic style weight and bars and workout benches for your rack, all you need is a set of decent weights and bar and then you're ready to start.
Power racks are more suited to people who want an intense full body workout of multi-jointed major muscles. People who use this rack are usually advanced body builders or have been strength training for a few years. If you are planning or just starting out your strength training workout, a smart choice would be using a squat rack which offers the same support but you have limited range of exercises that you can perform. As you get stronger and progress to a more intense body workout, you should aim to obtain your own power rack so you can get more out of your strength training workouts and get the body you've 1always dreamed about.
