WHAT IS THE SQUAT RACK?
A squat rack is a piece of weight training equipment that functions as a mechanical spotter for free weight barbell exercises without the movement restrictions imposed by equipment such as the smith machine. Its general design is four upright posts with two adjustable horizontal bar catches on each side. Many power racks also have accessory attachments, such as a chin-up bar, pulldown cable attachment, or pegs for storing weight plates.
