Squat racks

there are good squat stands and there are bad squat stands

if space is such a constraint (and presumably there are no gyms are nearby), you can get by with other, more compact equipment (e.g. Bulgarian split squats with kettlebells)

If you've got space to lift you gotta have space for some sort of better rack. That looks like a death trap and doesn't give you the ability to do chins, dips, band stuff, rack pulls, and a lot of other lifts particularly partials. You should get something with adjustable safeties for squatting and benching without a spotter so you can push yourself without worrying as much if you fail a rep. If you really are that limited on space you'll probably break something in that space like a wall if you drop your weights without a cage and safeties.

You can get cages for like $200 or less new (possibly cheaper used) and you'll get more out of them than you would with the rack you're looking at. If you gotta bail the weights and choose between hurting yourself or your home/furniture/vehicle with the barbell you'll probably end up spending more long term.

>max rated weight is higher than you're ever likely to hit
I'm at 405 lb squat. Chances are these things would last me 2 years tops.

This.

How can you have space to walk out a squat and bend over with a barbell, but not enough for a power cage?

I move country a fair bit for work and so its difficult to have a permanent installation. When I was looking at cages it kinda implied that once set up its not easily taken down again.... but it would be good to know if this isn't the case?

Currently I exercise in my garden - i have a gazebo set up, but it's a bit miserable when it rains. But as I mentioned above I'm due to move country in a few months. I'm really focused on training right now so I want equipment that can keep me improving, but that works with my circumstances. In an ideal world I'd definitely have a cage.

not him, but: the Strength Shop (UK) one i had was essentially a collection of pipes held together with bolts. it wasn't terribly difficult to assemble or disassemble

Oh no worries about taking them down again man the cheap ones are basically going to just be some metal bars and pipes that you would screw together. They'll probably ship you a box and you would assemble it yourself so you would also be able to disassemble it. Notice all the screws in pic related. Make sure you consider max weight of your bars and the rack as well for how long they will be valuable to your training. If you get something nice that lasts the rest of your life you're better off than a lot of the equipment some gyms may get that can't handle things like rack pulls or heavy deadlifts.

If you can take all your weights, barbells, and the rack you had in your OP image when you move then you can most likely take pic related too. If you've go room to overhead press then you have room to get a power rack. This might be a good option for you amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NAHQP90/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1525638987&sr=1-9&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=power rack&dpPl=1&dpID=41O2WcXCB2L&ref=plSrch

Ok, thats really interesting, thanks. Maybe I was too hasty in ruling out a cage. If i can disassemble it then transportation isn't a problem. Great, im glad i made this thread, im gonna compare options and have a think. Thanks for all the advice!

I've personally seen Clarence Kennedy squat 310kg using those stands. That's 682lbs for you burgers.

great for a beginner just trying to make it there, don't you think?

max rated weight says 500lb. you gonna hit a 500lb squat within the next 6 months you estatting faggot

I have been using these for months, Proressed from 65kg squat up too 85kg

Bonus, raised high enough I can also perform pull ups using my bar and also dips on the safety’s!

10/10 would definitely recommend

Damn bruh, why you so salty? lol you probably been lifting for a long ass time and still lift bitch weight haha. No hard feelings, right bruh?

I prefer them. They are great. Get a reputable brand though, I have seen (and worked out on) some fairly shotty ones and you can easily fuck your day up. I think ivanko makes a really nice setup, check it out.

Unoronically bags of sand or weights.
