So, what is the correct way to set up the safety arms? “To set them up for squats, put the unloaded bar on your back and squat down to the deepest position you can get yourself into,” Sevcik says. “The safety bars should be about an inch and a half or one notch lower than your bottom position, so if you ever fail on a squat, all you do is sit your butt down to the very bottom.”
Many come with safety arms, pins, or nylon straps, but some budget options may require purchasing them separately. If you’re new to using a power rack, we recommend asking a fitness professional for guidance on different exercises and safety.
