  • York Isometric Power Rack

    • 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.
