Squat rack

Can anyone recommend a budget squat rack? Looking at the ones that are under £100 on Amazon and decathalon and wondered if anyone has any experience of them

What do you want to do with it? My only experience is looking at them in decathlon and to be honest thinking how they didn't look up for much. The safety bars looked too short to work and it looked too insubstantial to lift heavy. But it depends if you want to be able to go heavy or do less heavy stuff. There lots of quality stuff for sale 2nd hand on Facebook if you need more substantial.

I was about to say the same, unfortunately you get what you pay for so if you want a decent squat rack with good safeties and a high weight bearing capability, you'll have to steer away from Decathlon

Most areas have FB groups for powerlifting equipment / gym equipment on sale. I have seen some really good bargains recently.

Also auction sites sometimes offload gym equipment following bankruptcy etc so worth keeping an eye on your local ones

There's a Facebook group powerlifting kit for sale UK that has lots of quality 2nd hand stuff.

I’ve got an adjustable one from Mirafit which I like. It has safety’s and is pretty sturdy but I much prefer a proper power rack 😂
If I had space I’d have one.
