Barbell Power rack for squatting

[solarbear]

Just get a basic rack with the highest weight tolerance you can afford. TBH though the basic Amazon rack would do most people just fine.

Having added storage on the back is desirable.

Have a look, Marketplace always has some at half of what they cost new.

I miss spoke in an earlier reply. I have a Titan T-2 rack. I’m very happy with it having purchased used and having used it for several years now. The uprights are 2“ x 3“.

Titan makes a very nice affordable power rack. Rogue makes a very nice power rack. Another option, from either company, are squat stands - less safe, some limitations, but significantly cheaper.

If he's primarily a high-bar, deep squatter, squat stands with a platform would be enough. I would never recommend a low-bar heavy squatter to settle with a squat stand.

Each to their own. A pair of squat stands with safeties, no biggie.
