What is the benefit of a full power rack over a half rack?
>>
Damn that full one looks so badass the gym I go to has one
>>

Full rack = 100% coverage on safety bars.
>>
Full had more weight capacity, more expensive
>>
>>36389815

More likely to save your life
>>
What are those poles on the bottom of the half rack? They're too low to hold weights.
>>
Does anybody really ever fail a squat? Squats are so easy to cheat up, you would have to go like 50 pounds too heavy.
>>
>>36389815
2 people can squat at once in the full rack.
>>
>>36389958
Try telling that to the guy at the gym using it

Epic meme, friend. Mind if I post to r/4chan?
>>
>>36389892

Stabilization I'm assuming
>>
>>36389892
bands for speed work
>>
>>36389911

If you don't fail once in awhile, you're not lifting enough weight.
>>
>>36389815
Longer durability and more stability in the long run.
>>
>>36389985

Go right ahead.
>>
>>36389911
If you believe that then either you are still a beginner (which is fine) or you are doing something very wrong and are headed for injury (not good).
>>
>>36389958
you mean one person have to do it without the safety
>>
>>36389815

Full rack has actual real safety bars plus you can hang other accessory equipment on it.

Gymnastic rings, dip bars, and many more.

You can also attach DIY equipment like reverse hypers and GHR.

You can bench in a half, tard-brah. Just drag the bunch underneath the supports. Derp.
