Im looking at getting a Power rack for my garage. There is a smaller space then i would like, but its what i have to work with. I can fit a rack in, but it would be too much of a squeeze trying to deadlift outside the rack.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the following are narrow enough to support Deadlifts inside the rack (without the plates hitting the floor supports). Be awesome if you could say how much cm each side the weights have inside on a barbell from the supports.
Ah of course! Only reason i asked is because ive been to a gym before and i had issues in which the base seemed to be wider.... but looking closer at the picture i can see it will be fine!
I've had both racks and prefer the Force USA. Both are good sturdy rack but if you are looking to add attachments go with your budget.
I like the force USA for the pin height separators and standard band pegs. My model never had the J hooks. Not sure what rack gives you more Hooks but the more hooks the better especially if you are training 2 different lifts or with a pal.
I sold my second hand rack with attachments for $400 so maybe see what's available second hand to save a few $? Just a thought.

2nd one for me, band attachments etc - looks the goods...
If you get a normal size oly barbell then you will have no issues with plates hitting or anything like that....maybe invest in a full size oly barbell aswell.

Yeah the force commercial was fucked you had like 10mm clearance between the collars and the j hooks. Most racks allow 100+mm. It was a absolute bastard to rack a squat
The one linked in the OP is the new design and doesn't have the width issue. Also, one of the suppliers were offering replacement parts to fix the width issue on the old ones but can't remember who.
I have the Force Rack, great rack with good safety bars and has a lot of extra attachments that can be added later and extra parts are easy to get.
Have a look at the bottom of the link, you won't have a problem dead lifting inside
