How you can train with Squat Rack
Having a rack is particularly important for being able to train safely. Not only do they allow you to get a loaded bar safely onto your shoulders, but they’ll stop the bar from falling on you if you fail or drop the bar – both of which are vital for being able to do squats safely.
Individuals have different body alignments and therefore a different set-up at the squat rack. Your unique form should be taken into account to enable an alignment of your feet and knees.
It also depends on your goals. A bodybuilder will adopt a different position from a RAW powerlifter (no assistance from the kit) who in turn will adopt a different position from a suited powerlifter (people who use wraps or straps).
I am a low bar RAW squatter and the position of my feet is slightly wider than my shoulder width to aid stability with the heavyweights squatted, to account for my lack of mobility in my hips and ligament alignment in my ankles.'
One of the possible ways to exercise with a Squat rack and make it unique and fit while exercising is a Weight Lifting Bench. Weight benches are designed to support you while you train, helping you to keep your posture and guide your movements. By doing shoulder presses on a weight bench, your upper body needs to work harder, because you haven’t got the extra push and momentum you would normally get from doing them standing up.
Squat racks in general will give you a really good workout. However, an adjustable squat rack is going to give you so many more options, which can be really handy when you’re working out at home or just have a limited amount of space.
While exercising with this piece of gym equipment, you make use of a weight lifting bench as mentioned before, you activate Barbells, gym plates for balancing of weight, you also need thumb tape to protect your ankles and thumbs. The reason for thumb tape is because of the gym equipment is made of metals and they are not skin user friendly. For your ankles, it helps to protect your ankles from dislocating.
