Weight Racks
Weight racks are the perfect storage system when you workout with multiple weights. Some bodybuilding equipment such as power cages, power stands, and home gym systems include a weight rack. When you make multiple weight changes during a workout, weight racks make perfect sense. All the weights you need are in close proximity of your training area so you don’t have to interrupt your workout to change weights. Another reason to use a weight rack is to keep the area in which you workout clean and organized. Without a weight rack, your weights being lying on the floor could result in someone becoming injured. Although all weight racks have the same basic function, they are different designs from which you can choose.
The Two Tier Dumbbell Rack by Deltech Fitness is fashioned after traditional weight racks. There are two long racks that store hex dumbbells up to 50 pounds. The rack has space at the bottom for larger weights. If you use a weight bar with free weights, you need a rack such as the Linex Standard Weight Plate Rack Tree. This rack stores both your weight bars and weight plates. If you are planning to place the weight rack in your home, you don’t have to worry about the rack damaging your floor because the bottom feet of the rack are covered in rubber. The rack is small enough to sit in a corner of a room or your garage. At $29.97, the storage equipment is also inexpensive.
If you workout with a large number of weights or you share weights with someone, you might need a larger rack. Body Solid offers a two-tier, 62-inch dumbbell rack and weight tree. The weight racks are all made of tough steel and designed for your safety. In addition to extra length, if you need more racks you have the option of ordering the equipment with a third tier.
