RACK DICTIONARY
POWER RACK
A metal, cage-like piece of weight-training equipment. Not only can it be used for a wide range of barbell lifts (squats, bench press, rack pulls, etc.), but it also is compatible with tons of accessories for other exercises and safety. A power rack typically consists of a set of (4) uprights, set of (4) crossmembers (pair for a rack with a "flat foot base"), a top crossmember, and a pull-up bar. It's a stable, heavy-duty option.

HALF RACK
A smaller, more compact version of a power rack. It's still compatible with attachments. You typically work outside of the rack instead of inside of the cage, like with a power rack.

SQUAT RACK/STAND
A steel piece of equipment that can support the bar before and after squats, but with fewer "uprights" so it does not create a cage-like space.

4 POST

6 POST
This is a rack with six uprights. This includes the typical four uprights necessary for a basic rack build plus an extra pair of uprights and set of (4) crossmembers for weight storage on the back of the rack. It has a bigger footprint than a four-post rack.
Flat foot base
A flat foot base adds stability to your rack and allows you to use heavy-duty attachments on the front of your rack without needing to bolt it down to the floor or add front foot extensions.
dual-sided rack
This enables two working stations and the opportunity for lifters to work out simultaneously, maximizing efficiency and productivity. It also enhances the versatility by offering a wide range of configurations and exercise options.
CROSSMEMBER
Horizontal, heavy-duty beams on a rack that add stability and versatility. Crossmembers add the depth to your rack.
UPRIGHT
The vertical, steel posts on a rack. The uprights determine the base height of your rack.
LOGO PLATE CROSSMEMBER
A horizontal, steel beam attached to the top rear portion of a power rack, featuring the brand logo. These are both aesthetic and functional, in that they add stability to the rack, but you can also use them for attachments and some exercises.
PULL-UP BAR
A piece of metal equipment designed to support your weight while you do pull-ups. On a rack, a pull-up bar is typically the top front portion of a power or half rack. Some racks have multiple options so you can decide which grip and challenge is best for you.
