Don't let the name Squat Rack fool you - if you only use this rack for squats, then you're underestimating the flexibility and functionality of the different rests. Depending on the height of the support, you can adjust the barbell perfectly for different exercises. A small overview of the different exercises on the squat rack we give you here.
Legs and more - the best exercises on the Squat Rack
Of course, squats are one of the classic exercises on the squat rack. Here you step under the barbell and place it on your neck. If necessary, a protector makes it a little more comfortable. Take a step back to give yourself the space you need. If you want to vary the squats, you can also place the weight on your shoulders above your collarbone. Cross your arms around the barbell and hold it in place. With the bar on your shoulders you can also work on the definition of your calves, with Calf Raises you go from the resting foot to the balls of the feet. You can optimize this exercise by placing the balls of your feet above floor level. Of course, the Squat Rack is also ideal for Dead Lifts because you can place the weight at a comfortable height and don't have to start the first repetition with the weight resting from the floor. You can also start from the same initial position in Front Rows. Instead of lifting the barbell from your torso, bend your torso slightly forward. Then pull the barbell towards your body from your biceps and back. Of course, you can also combine these exercises on the squat rack into one, the clean press. Here you bring the weight from the floor through a squat to your hips, pull it over your biceps to your collarbones and press it over your head. This exercise not only uses your whole body, but also requires proper execution. Here the form is even more complex and accordingly you should start with light weight. Of course, this applies to all exercises on the squat rack.
