In fact, this piece of equipment is the central element of any weight training program. What exactly is a power rack? What is a weightlifting cage used for?

What is a squat cage?

A squat rack, cross-training cage, or power rack is a piece of equipment found in gyms that allows you to do strength training. You can also have one at home, allowing you to perform your sets of physical exercises. Square or rectangular in shape, it is most often made of steel. Its key feature is that it ensures your safety while you strive to get in top shape. You no longer have to worry, even if you make a mistake in your form.

The accessories included with this equipment protect you and ensure your complete safety. For example, during a squat, its spotters prevent the bar from falling to the ground and causing damage. The squat rack also allows you to swing the bar backward if you lose control. It also enables you to perform better abdominal and back exercises. This comprehensive and safe piece of equipment helps you develop pure strength while varying your workouts. Investing in a squat rack is truly worthwhile; you and everyone who uses it with you will certainly not regret it.

Furthermore, it's important to remember that not all squat racks or CrossFit cages are the same. Some are made with barbell supports inside, while others have them at the front. Some also have multiple handholds, while others only offer the bare minimum. We'll refer to CrossFit cages specifically as those with multiple handholds and a high barbell. Also, don't confuse a squat rack with a Smith machine-type guide frame. The latter may resemble a squat rack, but it isn't actually one.

Why have a squat cage at home?

There are indeed a number of advantages to having a squat rack or power rack at home.

To practice sports at home in the simplest way possible

You can exercise at home anytime with this equipment. Whether it's in the morning before work or late in the evening, you can work out safely. You'll no longer need to follow gym programs. This is especially beneficial during the pandemic, as you won't have to share your equipment with anyone. You can set up the equipment anywhere in your home, provided the space is adequate. Enjoy a complete workout by acquiring this machine.

To properly tone your body

From head to toe, you can work on strengthening your body through weight training. The squat rack is very versatile, allowing you to perform a variety of exercises depending on the area you want to tone. Along with muscle strengthening, you'll gain endurance. Gradually, your physique will also change according to your fitness goals. More specifically, this equipment helps you burn calories and, consequently, lose weight. Your body will become firmer and more flexible. With the exercises performed in the rack, you'll also gain speed and agility. You'll also eliminate toxins from your body. This will help you regain your daily energy and all the other benefits of regular physical activity.

To practice sports safely

Extremely robust and stable, the squat rack ensures safe workouts. Regardless of the type of activity, it remains highly reliable. You can perform your exercises without risk of injury.

Indeed, squats can be very dangerous, and many have suffered muscle tears. The CrossTraining cage is the solution to protect you from any accidents. Even when purchasing it, you can choose the safety features that suit you best. Therefore, choosing your CrossTraining cage correctly is very important. Unlike at the gym, you can work at your own pace without worrying about anyone and without being hindered.

To push beyond its limits

The cage allows you to perform a variety of exercises, enabling you to push your limits. It's very popular for the speed of its results. Practice exercises according to your needs and modify them continuously.

It's also important to note that when using this equipment, you're not required to rest the barbell on the floor. The squat rack allows you to rest it on the metal supports, thus preventing significant damage to your floor. Imagine continuously dropping weights of 100 or 150 kg from a height of 1 meter or more. Such sudden movements could damage your floor, especially if it's tiled.

Also, while pull-up exercises require securing the bar to a solid element like a wall, ceiling, or door frame, a squat rack does the exact opposite. It's the ideal solution to avoid damaging these masonry and carpentry structures.

To centralize your training space and work out differently

Your training space is the center of your physical activity. Depending on the cage model, perform exercises with continuous tension. Use the machine as a fixed point. The squat cage allows you to work your muscles harder. With it, you can train like a true professional without spending a lot. There's no need to invest in guided weight machines that cost more and require even more space.

How to choose the right squat rack?

A squat rack is very useful for your strength training exercises. Choosing the right one from the variety of models available on the market is essential. Opt for the one that best meets your needs. Here are some criteria to help you effectively choose a squat rack.

Your budget

You shouldn't buy a CrossTraining cage that costs more than you can afford. Also, avoid models that are too cheap, as most are of poor quality. You can get a reliable, complete, and good-quality squat cage for as little as 500 euros. Models costing up to 6,000 euros are available.

Your types of exercises

CrossTraining cages offer almost the same features. They can be used for a variety of exercises, from squats to pull-ups. Some cages are extendable, while others are not. They can accommodate extensions, allowing for a wider range of exercises.

The strength or robustness of the cage

A crucial factor is that purchasing a squat rack is an investment and must be durable. This is a key selection criterion, as our safety is directly linked to it. These few points, difficult to penetrate, will guide you in choosing the right robust material.

• The type of material used:

Most squat racks are made of steel, but you can also find them in other metals. Some manufacturers offer them in wood, but these are very rare. It's best to choose a steel squat rack. The material is very durable and reliable.

• The percentage of plastic:

Ensure that the percentage of plastic mixed with steel is very low for cages made from steel and plastic.

• Load capacity:

Opt for cages with a good weight limit of 300 kg. This is synonymous with quality and reliability.

• The weight of the cage:

While the cages are not lightweight, there is a regulated maximum weight. Pay close attention to this criterion.

• The dimensions of the cage:

Carefully consider the available space in your home before purchasing a squat rack. Think about the exact location where you want to place it so you can determine the best size for your needs. Squat racks don't have a standard model; they vary depending on the manufacturer. Choose a rack that is tall and wide enough to maximize your strength training experience.

• Your safety:

Don't even think about buying cages without safety hooks, as you'll be putting yourself at risk. You must be able to move and adjust these hooks. Safety bars are also essential. Although they're often associated with squat racks, their role is crucial. They can prevent the barbell from slipping in case of a movement error. Even when working alone, their presence ensures your safety. Please make sure that the equipment you intend to buy has them.

• The cage's versatility:

All cages are versatile, but some are more feature-rich than others. Ultimately, the choice depends on your goals, budget, and the type of exercises you want to perform. It's best to choose a cage that offers a wide range of exercises. Also, not all cages have stabilizers, which are essential for maintaining the machine's stability. It's important to select a cage with stabilizers, even though they can sometimes interfere with certain exercises. In such cases, it's highly recommended to choose a cage with a removable stabilizer.

In short, a power rack or squat cage is essential for strength training. It allows you to work all your muscle groups from the comfort of your own home. Go at your own pace and perform exercises without pressure. All you need is the necessary space. Highly versatile, it allows you to perform a wide range of exercises for your well-being and according to your goals. It provides complete safety during your workouts. Just be sure to choose a quality rack that suits your needs and objectives. If a squat cage isn't enough, you can opt for a Roman chair, which includes a squat rack, dip station, and pull-up bar. With this setup, you can effectively work your shoulders, legs, and more.

As a reminder: pay attention to your posture. Poor posture can lead to injuries of varying severity. Furthermore, the wrong height for your support can also be very dangerous.

Finally, there are also multifunctional squat racks that include a weight bench. This allows you to work on your leg curls, then your arms with dumbbells or a barbell (be careful of your knees when squatting).
