Power racks are essential weightlifting equipment made of 7-gauge steel, designed to hold weightlifting bars for various lifts. They add safety to training and come with accessories to enhance workouts. Electrical racks use pneumatic resistance and are not standalone.

Power racks are the backbone of weightlifting equipment. They are available in a multitude of configurations designed to help lifters perform all the important lifts with safety in mind. Power racks are equipment designed to hold weightlifting bars to allow weightlifters to lift the bars from different positions. Most racks are made from 7-gauge steel for strength and durability. Basic standard features on power racks include two vertical bar mounts, an easy-adjust safety point bar, a multi-grip pull-up bar, and hook bar hooks with a two-point locking system.

Power racks are typically found in college and professional sports programs, as well as anywhere there are professional powerlifters. Some of the most common power lifting racks are used for the squat lift, the clean bench press, the incline bench press, the military or front press, and the snatch press. Most power racks come in heights from 8 to 9 feet (approximately 2.44 to 2.74 meters). Experts suggest adding another 1 to 2 feet (approximately 0.30 to 0.61 meters) when the power rack is to be used with handles.

Electrical racks work by incorporating columns of pneumatic resistance. These can be attached to the bar to allow the use of free weights. People who traditionally train with power racks report an overall improvement in strength gains and better speed, control, and power. Power racks add safety to athletic training programs by ensuring lifters don’t leave the floor. Sports doctors have long recommended the use of power racks, especially when working with free weights.

Electrical racks are generally not standalone racks. In fact, most come with many accessories designed to enhance training. Some of the standard accessories that can be purchased for power racks include a lever action bench, which is a removable locking bench, reverse bar catches, technical and training technique layups, a platform with insert dip attachments, handles Adjustable swivels to hit the lower abs and safety handles for added safety when lifting yourself.
