Reply With QuoteSquaggleboggin uses 2 sawhorses. Seems like a pretty cheap and effective way to go about it. Plus, the ones he dropped me a link to a while ago have a 1,200 pound holding capacity.

squat rack
Any of you home gymers out there have any advice on the best way to build a squat rack. I know how it should look and function, I'm looking for material selection and some tips if any of you have done it or have seen it done.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

that's not bad, I didn't think about something that simple. Guess I just have to make sure I don't fall...no cage to catch you.

Actually the sawhorses are what catch the bar should you fail to lift it. For the actual rack to hold the bar, I just use the back of my bench. It's simple yet serves its purpose beautifully.
