PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack Review

Time to trim down, or build muscle, or simply shape up to feel healthier? A squat rack is an excellent choice for building lean muscle mass and strengthening your heart. In addition, the PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack by Body Solid is designed for safety, durability, and comfort as you pursue your fitness goals.

PowerLine PSS60X Safety

Safety is the first priority when lifting weights. The PowerLine PSS60X is constructed of heavy-gauge steel to hold even the heaviest weights. The low profile, fixed-frame design provides gym-quality stability for this at-home piece of equipment. Its advanced carbon steel alloy offers an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio as well as impact absorption. The 2-by-2-inch steel uprights are welded jointly with the lower crossbeam with an inverse “Y” construction. The welds are four-sided for additional strength rather than the industry-standard two side-stitch welds. The extra wide and extra deep base increases the rack’s stability, ensuring that it will not tip over while you are lifting.

The rack itself weighs a hefty 51 pounds and measures 30 inches to 60 inches high by 37 inches long by 48 inches wide. The rack is protected by an electrostatically applied powder coat finish – the same finish used on industrial machinery – to guarantee that your equipment will last for years. Body Solid is so confident in the construction and safety of its product that it offers a ten-year warranty on the rack’s frame and a one-year warranty on all other parts.

PowerLine Squat Rack Functionality

Comfort and variety are key to any exercise program. Ergonomically designed, the PowerLine PSS60X offers 3-inch incrementally adjustable bar supports to enable you to place the weight bar at the proper height for any exercise. Use the rack with a flat bench to perform basic chest presses. The adjustable supports are also ideal for incline and decline bench presses. Adjust the bar supports again, and you have the ability to safely perform curls, upright rows, shoulder shrugs, and many other exercises. Do not forget the basic, old-fashioned squat lift. Adjust the bar supports again, and you have the ability to safely perform squat lifts with plenty of room to position yourself beneath the bar and plenty of strength in the PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack to catch the bar at the end of the lift.
Drawbacks

There are a few downside issues with this rack. It does tend to move when using it to lift heavier weights, which can be corrected easily by placing a rubber mat underneath the rack. Additionally, the PowerLine PSS60X does not include safety side catchers. A spotter should be on-hand for heavy lifting. Barbells, collars and weights are not included with the PowerLine PSS60X. When purchasing a bar bear in mind that, due to its solid-frame construction, the PSS60X only accommodates a bar with a minimum of forty-five inches of length between the plates.

Customer Reviews

“I have very limited space so a “cage”-type squat rack just wouldn’t do for me. Also, I do reps with a little under 400 pounds so it couldn’t be a rinky-dink thin-walled round-tube pair of uprights like you see bolted onto cheap weight benches. This rack is a decent compromise for those of us with a little space and the desire to squat fairly heavy in that space.”

“Sturdy as can be. However I’d recommend putting the back end of the feet against a wall or something or it can shift around a bit when you’re putting the bar back on the rack after a heavy bench. Or at least have it on a rubber mat. It would be good to have a spotter with you so it doesn’t tilt back if you slam your weight back on the rack so it doesn’t tip over.”
