Power Racks
A four-post cage is the only piece of equipment that lets you fail a heavy squat or bench press alone and walk away. Safety bars set below your working depth catch the barbell if the rep does not go, which is what makes serious solo training possible.
The safety bars are the entire point. Set them one or two inches below the bottom of your squat, and a failed rep results in the bar resting on steel rather than on your spine. The same applies to bench press, where the safety bars sit just above chest height and catch the bar if you cannot lock out. No other setup provides this, which is why a power rack is the correct purchase for anyone training heavy without a partner.
A rack also consolidates equipment. The integrated pull-up bar removes the need for a separate frame, the uprights store the barbell, and the cage provides fixed points for future attachments. Against that, it needs a permanent footprint and sufficient ceiling height, so it is a decision about space as much as about training.
Inside the cage you can run a complete strength programme: back squat, front squat, bench press, incline press, overhead press, rack pull, pin press and pull-ups. Setting safety bars at different heights also enables partial-range work such as pin squats and pin presses, which are effective tools for breaking through sticking points in a lift.
Choose a power rack if you train alone, lift heavy, and have the permanent space and ceiling height. Choose adjustable squat stands if space is tight or the setup must be movable. Whichever you choose, budget for a bench, an Olympic 2" barbell, plates and collars, since a rack on its own does nothing. Measure your ceiling before ordering.
Do I need to bolt the rack to the floor?
Check the manufacturer guidance on the page. Many racks are stable unanchored under normal use, but bolting down is advisable for very heavy loading or if you will be doing pull-ups.
What ceiling height does a power rack need?
Enough for the rack itself plus clearance to use the pull-up bar. Confirm the stated height on the page against your room before ordering.
Can I bench press alone in a power rack?
Yes, provided you set the safety bars just above chest height so a failed rep lands on steel rather than on you. This is the primary reason to own a cage.
Does it include a barbell or plates?
No. A rack is a frame. You will need an Olympic barbell, plates, collars and a bench to train in it.

The G100 listing says many racks are stable unanchored under normal use but that bolting down is advisable for very heavy loading or if you will be doing pull-ups. Set the safety bars just below squat depth or just above chest height so a failed rep lands on steel, and stay within the 250 kg rating.

Yes, an integrated multi-grip pull-up bar, which removes the need for a separate frame. If you will be doing pull-ups or loading very heavily, bolting the rack down is advisable.
The listing advises checking the manufacturer guidance: many racks are stable unanchored under normal use, but bolting down is advisable for very heavy loading or if you will be doing pull-ups.
Yes. Set the safety bars just above chest height so a failed rep lands on steel rather than on you; for squats set them one or two inches below the bottom of your squat. That is the primary reason to own a cage.
The 7 ft Olympic 2" Barbell, which is the length needed to span the J-hooks; a 4 ft bar cannot. A barbell, plates, collars and bench are not included with the rack.
The listing describes the frame as expandable and compatible with accessories such as dip bars, landmine attachments, band pegs and weight storage. None of those attachments are sold on liftsets.co.uk at present, so email support@liftsets.co.uk to confirm fit before buying one elsewhere.
Pin squats and pin presses, by setting the safety bars at different heights, plus rack pulls and pull-ups from the integrated bar. Inside the cage you can run back and front squats, bench and incline press, and overhead press.
