Half Power Rack

The half rack, or half power rack, is simply a smaller version of the full rack. It consists of two upright bars shooting up from a metal base with one connecting bar for added stability. It also comes with two smaller bars that act as a spotter by holding up your barbells.The full rack has four uprights, so a half rack is a station that has only two uprights. A half rack still has a connecting bar at the top, and it has holes for you to place J-hooks and safety arms. However, those safety arms are not connected on the opposite end in which they are connected to the rack.Probably the most popular rack for the home gym, your half rack is called so due to it not being a squat rack and not being a cage with 4 uprights. Also called a half power rack or half squat rack, you have 4 uprights quite close together, with overhead connection.
