Squat Stands/Power Racks for Women (5'2/Short Women) Recommendations

[xoxodede]

Hi Everyone,

I am still adding equipment to my home gym and I wanna buy a Squat Rack or Cage Rack. I essentially want to use it for Barbell Work - but I am interested in pull-ups too - even though I am not that good with them yet.

Or should I just get a simple Squat Rack like this: Essential Power Squat Stand. All the racks but one are Sunny Products - cause they are affordable and cute.

Can y'all pretty please help me pick out the best one for me?

- As of this morning, I am 5'2 138lbs - and looking pretty skinny fat again. I am trying to lose about 10lbs - 12lbs from being lazy -- and lean out a bit.

- I want a rack/squat stand -- that can grow with me. In addition, one that is really sturdy, somewhat gym quality and I can add-on to -- and do other exercises with.

- Also, I live alone - I don't wanna get something too big and hurt myself.

Hello.

A couple things, do what you will with them.

1) I would never buy a rack because it's "cute". The shyt needs to be stable and strong enough to handle the weight being placed on it.
2) Squat stands are ass. I wouldn't take one for free, nor would I ever spend money on one. Full power cage or bust IMO.

3) Racks and cages are expensive, and unless you have a bar and plates you're still gonna need more cash to put towards this.


4) Racks aren't built for specific genders like that. The same 4'11" broads that squat more than you total use the same rack me and my 6-foot plus homies use. There aren't any racks inherently better for short people or for girls; as long as the J-hooks are adjustable, you're good.


5) I'd recommend having somebody handy build you a wood base for the bottom of the rack. Also, look into getting horse stall mats for under the rack and wood 'flooring'.
