Squat Rack
The Power Station – the squat rack of the future
by Rick Ravensdale
Want a Squat Rack that can do everything? Then check out the Power Station
A few years ago I was searching for a squat rack that could do everything. It was essential it could allow you to perform the major moves, like benching, squatting and chinning. But I also wanted it to do much more. Here’s the list of extras that I considered would make the ultimate squat rack.
- Benching
- Squatting
- Standard chinning
- Fat Bar chin ups
- Adjustable chinning station
- Dipping
- Band attachments
- Torsonator attachments
- Yoke
- Conan’s Wheel Walk
- Sled work
- Pushing moves (A bit like a Prowler)
- Power Ring use
And there’s more. The Power Station allows you to train multiple people at once. So if you’re a personal trainer you can many clients all at the same time. Try doing this with a regular squat rack!
Here’s some images of what this versatile squat rack can do.
The Power Station with the lot: We’ve loaded it up with Olympic barbell, weights, resistance bands, weights, bench, extra barbells and Torsonator attachment. There’s not much you can’t do with this squat rack.
We've fully loaded the squat rack with everything you'll ever need.
Yoke: Yep, you can take off all the extras and have a bare bones unit. Ideal for yoke walks. If you’re feeling strong you can load it up with over 500kg of extra weight. Perfect for those strongmen and sporting teams that want to train this classic strongman exercise.
Go crazy with a yoke walk. How many other squat racks allow you to do this?
Conan’s Walk: Here’s another strongman move. Simply lower the cross bar and you can perform this feat of strength- warning very challenging!

Sled: Want some super hardcore training options? Then try using the Power Station as a sled. Simply attach the ropes to a harness and you’re all set. Add more weight as your strength and endurance improves.
Turning the squat rack into a sled - a hardcore exercise for those wanting extreme results.

Complete Chinning Station: While you can perform chin ups on some other squat racks – nothing comes close to what The Power Station allows you to perform.
Adjustable Chins – Simply set the handles to your desired width and start pulling.
Slide the handles to your desired postion and get to work

Fat Bar Chin Ups – Want to improve your chin ups even further? Then get down with Fat Bar chins. Improved grip strength is just the start.

Wide Grip Chins – Super tough but an awesome exercise for superior gains.
The hardest chin up of all - the wide grip
Assisted Chin Ups – Can’t do a chin up? This squat rack allows for resistance band attachments which then allow anyone to perform a full chin up.
