For new lifters, the half power rack provides a safe, predictable environment that helps new lifters master the lifting techniques without the risks of falling or injury. For experienced lifters, this rack provides the toughness and flexibility to achieve advanced exercises like squats, bench press, pull-ups, and so on. The half power rack ensures it will fit in smaller spaces than full racks while maintaining the ability to lift heavy when needed.
How a half power rack can upgrade your home gym experience
Small size yet big performance
A half power rack gives most of the functionality of a full-power rack in a small footprint. Most half racks can accommodate all compound lifts: squats, bench press, and overhead lifts all fit in the same small space.
Safe and secure workouts
A half power rack has adjustable safety bars and sturdy support structures to prevent safety issues while lifting. In comparison to full racks that can take up the majority of a room, a half power rack can fit comfortably in most home gyms.
Ideal for all levels of fitness
The half rack functional trainer is suitable for anyone starting on their fitness journey or for a more advanced trainer. Beginners will benefit from safety bars that increase adjustability. Advanced athletes can use a power rack to squat, bench press, and perform a wider variety of useful compound movements.
Half power rack exercises for beginners and advanced trainers
Exercises for beginners with a half power rack
As a beginner on the half power rack, you can safely bench press and overhead press in the rack to build strength and work your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Rack pulls are a beginner-friendly way to build back and grip strength while limiting strain on your lower back.
Training for experienced lifters with a half power rack
Advanced trainers can also perform rack pulls with greater loads, which will improve posterior chain strength as well as deadlift capacity. You can also take a regular resistance band or even chains and attach them to this home fitness equipment to create variable resistance for explosive strength training.
Workout safety precautions for a half power rack
1) Check stability first: Before you start your exercise, check that the rack has been placed on a flat, level surface and that it is not rocking back and forth.
2) Secure all pins and bolts: Ensure that you have checked that all J-hooks, safety bars, and attachments are securely locked in place.
3) Warm up well: Before lifting weights, do some light cardio as well as some dynamic stretching to prepare the muscles and joints.
4) Use safety bars: Always make sure safety bars are set directly below your lowest point of movement (not touching your shoulders or back when you squat or press).
