Power rack

A sturdy frame used for barbell exercises with adjustable hooks and safety bars or straps.

Also known as: squat rack, power cage, safety bars

A sturdy frame used for barbell exercises with adjustable hooks and safety bars or straps.

Why Power rack matters

A correctly set rack makes solo squatting and pressing safer and easier to set up.

A practical example

Placing safety arms just below the lowest controlled squat position.

Common mistake

Setting the safeties too low to catch a failed repetition.

Keep the context in mind.

Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.

Personalised coaching

Apply the principle to your own training.

A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
