The squat rack has one of the most frustratingly limited names in the gym. While it’s true that the squat is the king of all exercises, it’s unfair to pigeonhole the most essential four-post structure this side of a bed as a one-trick pony. In fact, no piece of equipment is as useful, versatile, or necessary for your future gainz. 

A partial list of exercises you can perform in a standard power rack is as follows: squats (duh), bench presses, rack pulls, overhead presses, pin presses, good mornings, and curls (don’t worry; we won’t tell anyone).

You can literally spend years training without leaving the confines of the squat rack and still never find yourself limited by it. Try these full-body programs to understand why the rack stands alone in its muscle- and strength-building prowess.

Strongman

A New Twist On an Old Story

Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall are old rivals in the field of strongman. Even with each being retired from the grueling demands of the heaviest sport on Earth, the competitive fire is hard to extinguish.

The new venue for this pair of humongous land mammals is the growing sport of arm wrestling, and the duo recently debuted against each other at a showdown in Atlantic City, NJ. Similar to most of their shared time in strongman, Shaw came out on top, but it wasn’t without a fight. Check out our recap of the bout below.
