Choosing a squat rack is not as simple as it seems, while a squat rack is simple equipment, there are several factors to consider. This does not include the brand and the model, but more important factors. Here are the factors that you need to consider.

Size of Squat Rack

Before you purchase a squat rack, you should first consider the size of it. While most people think that all the squat rack comes in common size, this assumption is wrong. Squat racks are available in different sizes. Where are you planning to install it? Is it crowded or is it a large free space?

If the space available for mounting the rack is too small, you should consider purchasing a smaller rack. On the other hand, if you are planning to go all-in, then consider purchasing a large rack. Apart from the availability of space, you should also consider your own size. If you have a wide body, then consider it.

Weight capacity

Each type or model of squat rack comes with a different weight capacity. If the weight capacity of the rack is too low, then the rack could prove worthless if you want to increase your load. If you are a serious bodybuilder, then, we would recommend that you consider purchasing a rack with a maximum weight capacity.

Material of Squat Rack

Most commonly, a squat rack could come made of steel. While considering the material, it is not the material that you need to consider, but the thickness of the steel. Most commonly, a budget-friendly squat rack could come made of 2×2 inch steel and it could move up to 3×3 inches. If the manufacturer mentions the gauge of the material used, it could be 7/11/12 gauge steel. While 7-gauge steel is good, we recommend purchasing a rack made with 11 or 12-gauge steel.

Safety

Squat racks are known to come with smaller safety pins, this makes the safety offered by squat racks comparatively lower than power racks. However, some models come with specialized safety pin designs that increase safety.

If you are a beginner and if you are concerned about safety, then, we recommend that you focus more on this factor. Do not just blindly purchase a rack because it offers safety. Check the details carefully.

Extra additions

Squat racks are designed for doing squats safely, however, over time, the design has advanced making them compatible to support other exercises too. What is your requirement? Do you need to do more than just squats on your rack? If yes, then look for additional features.

Price of Squat Rack

Squat racks come at different price ranges, based on the factors listed above. The price of a rack could differ. Remember, squat racks made of 11 or 12-gauge steel is comparatively expensive than a 7-gauge squat rack. At the same time, squat racks that come with additional features also are expensive. However, if you are on a budget, then you could avoid going for the top-end products.
