| If you are serious about getting stronger, you need a power rack. - Squatting, Supports and Heavy Partials are all major "Power" Builders and a rack allows you to do them quickly and safely. If you've had a chance to see the pictures of my Garage Gym you may have noticed the power rack in the top picture. Here's what it looks like when fully assembled -- from the March 1966 issue of Strength and Health Magazine. | ![]() |
This was listed as the "Model W.W." Power Rack. The crossbeam is lost and the base has rotted away so it will be a project getting this rack back in working order. I sense a lot of good workouts once it finally is put together though.
There's some good mojo when training with the classics.
