If you’re a serious lifter, a power rack is likely a part or about to be a part of your weightlifting routine. Power racks are versatile tools that allow you to lift heavy weights safely by doing lunges, calf raises, a shoulder press or bench press, squats, heavy rows, and more strength training moves.
Although some people prefer squat racks or other rigs or stands, power racks can usually hold more weight and are often referred to as power cages or squat cages. They are popular in commercial gyms and are becoming more popular in a home or garage gym setting.
Having a power rack mat is just as important as having the right kind of weights and equipment in your space. It will provide protection to the subfloor, provide stability for the weight lifter and squat cage itself, prevent the rack from moving around, absorb loud noises from the dropping of weights, and provide some protection for the joints and back of the lifter.
Greatmats specializes in many types of flooring, and there are a number of fabulous power rack mat options from which to choose.
