I currently do the majority of my training in my basement but I really need a squat rack.

At the moment I am using saw benches which do a job but they are the low ones so I’m pretty much starting at rock bottom at the start of each set. While this has been useful at sub-max weights its getting to the stage where the hardest part of a set is un-racking the weight!!

I have seen a couple of racks but they only seem to be able to handle weights up to 110Kg.

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a half decent squat rack for a very decent price?

I have one of these:

Note max weight and max height but otherwise a more than acceptable squat stand!

An Oly bar sounds like a plan!
