| Everybody calls the "power rack" the squat rack. Ours is more complexed than the one you took a pick of. The "squat rack" you showed looks like something cheap you buy at your local sporting goods store. I think he meant smith machine when he said "safety rack". | |

| That was just clarifying. I know squat rack is ubiquitous but that's what they actually are. | |

That's what I called it before I knew what a Smith machine was, so it kinda stuck. | |

My new gym doesn't have one, which sucks. Love that thing.
