Features
Power racks come in various styles and features. The following sections break down Sevcik’s power rack must-haves.
Material
Sevcik says to look for thick, heavy-duty steel such as 11-gauge. “A rack made out of thicker steel creates more leverage on the uprights. Especially when you add those attachments.”
J-Cups/J-Hooks
“I think a big must-have a lot of people overlook is to make sure your J-cups, or J-hooks, have some coating on them to preserve the knurling on your bar,” Sevcik says. “If you’re doing a bench press or deadlift, [knurling] is no big deal, but if you’re an Olympic weightlifter, that’s where my snatch grip is holding onto, and I want it to be as sharp and aggressive as possible.”
