FAQs 

What are Rack Attachments? 

Power rack attachments are additional equipment that can be added to a power rack, also known as a squat rack or a power cage. These attachments can be used to enhance the versatility and functionality of a power rack, making it a more comprehensive gym equipment for various workouts.

There are many different types of power rack attachments, including:

• Dip bars: These are attachments that can be used to perform dips, which are a great exercise for building triceps, chest, and shoulder muscles.
• Landmine attachment: A landmine attachment is an add-on for a power rack or other gym equipment that allows for the performance of various exercises using a barbell in a fixed, rotational plane. The attachment is typically a bracket or holder that can be attached to the end of a barbell, which is then placed in the attachment to perform the exercises.
• Lat pulldown attachments: These are attachments that can be used to perform lat pulldowns, which are a great exercise for building the muscles in your back and shoulders.
• Safety spotter arms: These attachments are designed to provide added safety while lifting heavy weights. They can be used to prevent injury in case you fail to lift the weight during a lift.
• Monolifts: A monolift is a piece of powerlifting equipment used to assist lifters with the squat movement. It is designed to eliminate the need for the lifter to walk out the weight, which can be a difficult and dangerous part of the lift, particularly when working with very heavy weights. While a monolift can be a valuable piece of equipment for serious lifters, it is important to note that it is not necessary for all lifters, and it may not be suitable for those who are still developing their squat technique or who are not yet lifting very heavy weights. It is always important to work with a qualified coach or trainer when incorporating new equipment into your training regimen.
• Jammer Arms: Jammer arms are a type of strength training equipment used to perform various upper body exercises, such as presses and rows. They are typically attached to a power rack or other piece of gym equipment and consist of two vertical posts with an adjustable arm that can be set at different angles. To use jammer arms, a lifter will stand in front of the posts and set the arm at the desired angle for the exercise they wish to perform. They will then load a barbell or other weight onto the arm and perform the exercise, pushing or pulling the weight in a vertical or horizontal plane. Some of the benefits of using jammer arms include:
• Versatility: Jammer arms can be used for a variety of exercises, including presses, rows, and triceps extensions, making them a versatile piece of equipment for upper body training.
• Functional movement: The movement patterns used in jammer arm exercises mimic real-world movements, such as pushing and pulling, making them useful for functional strength training.
• Core engagement: Many jammer arm exercises require significant core engagement, which can improve overall stability and balance.

Overall, jammer arms can be a valuable addition to any gym setup, particularly for lifters who are looking to improve their upper body strength and functional movement patterns. They are often used in functional fitness and CrossFit workouts, as well as in powerlifting and strength training programs.

Overall, power rack attachments provide a range of exercises and configurations to your power rack, making it a versatile gym equipment that can be used for many different types of workouts.
