Powerlifting Combo Rack with Bench

Powerlifting Combo Rack with Bench The Powerlifting Combo Rack, as the name suggests, is a professional equipment used in the world of Powerlifting training, which involves working with heavy loads. Xenios USA designed it to be compliant with IPF regulation and equipment measurements. It's not just a simple rack, for several reasons. Firstly, it's a combo, meaning it combines two different functions: this rack is designed to allow the performance of both the squat and the bench press. Like every rack, its purpose is to provide a support where the barbell can be placed at the end of the exercise. How can a single rack work for two different exercises? The Uprights have the peculiarity of having two Bar J-Racks: one almost at the top end, in the upper part of the pole, for squats; another at a lower level than the first one, located in front of the pole, and is for bench presses. In fact, performing these two exercises requires the barbell to be at different heights because for squats you are standing, while for the bench press you are lying down. As for the practical execution of two such different exercises with a single piece of equipment, the Powerlifting Combo Rack has been specifically designed: when you want to perform the bench press, you need to add a compatible bench to the combo rack; it has a special feature: it must be bolted to the platforms where the spotter will stand to assist during the exercise. Through these platforms, equipped with wheels, the bench is fixed to the rack: thanks to an interlocking mechanism, the two platforms are fixed to the structure; being bolted to the bench, the rack will complete the necessary elements to perform the bench press. The bench has a monopod in the front part to ensure freedom of movement for the athlete's feet; on the monopod pole, there is a handle: the bench, bolted to the platforms with wheels, is designed to detach easily, thanks to the interlocking mechanism, and move smoothly, allowing it to be removed quickly and easily. when you want to perform squats, the rack area must be empty to make space for the athlete. Therefore, the bench must be removed, if present. To complete the structure, you will add the Safety Spotter Arms, which can be installed on the rack's poles and are easily removable. This way, the rack structure will be ready for squats. Features of the Powerlifting Combo Rack with Bench The features that make our Powerlifting Combo Rack special are several: the Uprights are adjustable in height: each athlete needs the barbell support to be at the appropriate height for their body, so it is very common to change the height of the Bar J-Racks. This rack has 29 positions, spaced 2.5 cm apart: with a pin to insert into the corresponding hole, selecting the correct height will be quick. the Safety Spotter Arms are height-adjustable: just like the barbell supports, these safety bars also need to be at the correct height, depending on the athlete performing the squat. They have 10 different levels of adjustment, also spaced 2.5 cm apart, selectable via a pin. the Bar J-Racks can be both sliding or fixed: the rack comes with 4 mini cylinders pre-installed and 4 cubes that can be swapped if needed; by installing the cylinders, the barbell can slide horizontally on the supports, whereas installing the cubes will make the barbell more stationary. the rack legs have holes: these are designed to prepare the combo rack to be fixed to the floor; this way, any movement of the structure caused by the excessive weight loaded on the barbell and its placement on the rack at the end of each exercise will be avoided. the lifting levers are particularly sturdy: behind the rack's poles, there are two levers used to lift the Uprights to easily adjust the height of the supports, even with the loaded barbell on them. In fact, a second pin is provided to fix it in the desired hole, allowing you to easily remove the previously used pin. the Uprights are converging: the fact that this is a professional combo rack is also reflected in this; being able to tilt each pole 4.5° inward allows you to squat with heavier loads and, during the bench press, to grip the barbell with an extremely wide grip, i.e., between the Bar J-Rack and the sleeves. the structure is stiffer than usual: like the lifting levers, in general, all the poles used are thicker; inside the Uprights, there are wooden cores that make them even more solid and capable of supporting heavy loads. all moving parts have tightening knobs: in all parts where movement is expected (like the Safety Spotter Arms for height adjustment or the converging Uprights, etc.), there is a screw knob that, when tightened, eliminates internal play. equipped with protective nylon pads: at all contact points between two components or elements, nylon pads have been installed to preserve the underlying steel, preventing it from being damaged.
