What Squat rack? - 25 June 2008 22:31

I currently train in my garage, I've got a basic bench but need to buy a squat rack to allow me to progress.

What would people recommend? I have found a couple that may be suitable I'm looking for opinons on those products or alternatives.

Both of these would allow me use a sturdy bench along with the rack for bench press, so would take up less room in the garage.

Anyone used either of these racks?

Thanks, Stuart.

I was going to go for a Power Rack but, due to low celling where my gyms set up, i went for the BodySolid multipress rack, great piece of kit Very well bulit.
