THANK You to Liam Tweed! Starting at the left we see a conventional power rack made with two angle irons with holes for placement of the supporting bars. This is a popular rack which lends itself to many different forms of training. In the middle we see Mr. M. Osher of South Africa standing between the supports of his special power rack in his health studio. This is a very popular type of rack using pipes for uprights, which have been drilled to accept the supporting bars. The photo on the right illustrates the sliding sleeve type of power rack in which one upright is used for each side. This, too, is a rather popular and convenient type of power rack which lends itself to complete safety in the exercises although in some respects it is not quite as versatile. Illustrated exercising with this machine is 75 year old Leslie Carson, one of our popular authors. Content has been created with the help of https://essayfreelancewriters.com!
I have always felt, and still feel, that the proper application of the use of the power rack will aid the average trainee tremendously. And this takes into consideration all three facets of our great sport: powerlifting, weightlifting, and bodybuilding. There is nothing, simply nothing, to compare, strength- and bulk-wise, with proper training on the power rack and I hereby defy anyone to contradict me on this point. I have seen far too many things of astounding nature take place when power rack training is undertaken for any length of time. I have observed many, very many thin, underweight, under-muscled young fellows grow massive almost overnight by using the power rack, and I have also watched many flabby, fat fellows trim down or even GAIN additional weight through the use of the power rack. However, while some of these fellows did gain even more weight, they also lost many inches of fat, and replaced this fat with thick, massive muscles. While it is true that such development is not the aesthetic kind that today's bodybuilder is going after, however, it was still a most tremendous improvement over what they appeared like beforehand.

By now, I imagine that most of you realize that I really enjoy power rack work, and you are so right. I would rather work on the power rack than do anything else in the line of weight training. And the reasons are simple. On the power rack you are in complete safety. By using the power rack you can train alone if you have to, and still enjoy it. The power rack enables you to sectionalize your lifts into various positions and this way you can work for maximum on your particular sticking points. Finally, power rack training will force you to develop real power and a great deal of muscle, and it is mainly for these two reasons that I truly enjoy power rack training. Basically, there are two types of power racks. One is the conventional type and sold by most barbell manufacturers, which consists of four posts or poles, made of either pipe or heavy wood and and in which the bar rests inside these uprights and it heightened or lowered by the use of heavy pins, one placed under the bar and through the poles or boards, one pin on each side.
This type of rack is very strong and durable and it enables one to use truly herculean poundages in one's training routine. The second type of rack consists of two steel poles joined at the top by another pole, all in all making the appearance of the skeleton setup of a child's swing The bar is attached to these two poles by the use of some type of clamp or another, and in this type of rack the bar slides up and down in the poles which are set at the desired height by the use of small pins, one placed through each of the two supporting poles. This type of rack is not as tough or durable as the aforementioned one, however it is cheaper to purchase or make and it can be useful when one trains at home and does not wish to use more than 400 pounds on the rack at any given time. It is possible to further strengthen this type of rack if one prefers this variety and has the patience and fortitude to figure out just what kind of supporting device can be useful.
I, myself, have always used such a rack and I further strengthened it by nailing the top crosspiece to the I-beam in the cellar. On such a rack I have squatted to parallel with 515 pounds, and have incline pressed 305. So you see, such a rack can be strengthened sufficiently. While we are on the subject, I would like to continue somewhat with a discussion of the conventional, four-posted power rack, and take into consideration its good and poor points, and how they relate to the average trainee. Now just about any type of power rack is going to help you quite a bit when it comes down to developing heavy, powerful musculature, but the main good point worth mentioning, concerning this particular type of rack is that although it introduces the factor of safety into the training routine, it also enables to develop a sense of balance and coordination which is ever so important when one stops using the power rack and decides to perform his main exercise movements without the use of the rack. You must realize that any lift you may perform does not move up and down in a straight line.
