FAQ > Strength Training Equipment > Should I buy squat stands or a squat rack?
We recommend squat stands rather than a squat rack. We find them more versatile, as they're easily moved around the gym. They can be placed on the platform, moved to the gym floor, and then stored in a matter of seconds. In addition, they can handle virtually any load the typical gym will place on them.
By way of contrast, a squat rack requires a lot of square footage, costs more money than stands, and is very difficult to move.
