A squat rack is an essential piece of home gym equipment.
However it’s not cheap. A good power rack costs over $3K. Knock off brands still run $2k plus.
While it’s expensive, it lasts your lifetime and that of your grandkids. So if you have the money it’s a worthwhile investment.
But, if you’re looking for temporary fix, or a cheaper alternative, go DIY.
An economical alternative is a well-made DIY Wood Rack. Not only is it economical, with the right plans it’s also safe.
