this will be perfect for 95% of the population. no need for anything more expensive.
Absolutely perfect. I have been waiting for this very thing to pop on SD.

I agree with what everyone has said. If you're strong and serious enough about squatting that you're really doing well over 300 pounds, then you better be ready to spend more than $70.

Also, if you aren't yet, but planning on working up to something higher, start with this, and when you're really ready to be repping more than 300 lbs, you can easily offload this on FB Marketplace or Craigslist for this much.
You'll be fine. This can easily support 400 lbs. When they list a weight limit the actual threshold for failure is much much higher.

People in here trying to give safety advice are probably doing kettlebell workouts.

Go watch Chinese Olympic lifters squatting 600 lbs from sketchier racks if you want some reassurance

Quote from -Gossamer- :
I was just trying to be helpful. The guys in the gym who like me rarely used belts have almost all had back surgery. Some in their late 20's. Granted we'd squat a lot more than 300, but I'm not sure at what weight it matters when it comes to your back. I just don't squat anymore and do other leg and core strengthening exercises now.

In 10 or 20 years, if I make it, I'll be on here giving reviews on canes and wheelchairs just from all the years lifting without proper back support. Maybe it'll help too.
Totally, just offering another POV. That's good to know re: your gym, although kind of sad for all of those with back surgeries so early on. Hopefully your back's still in good shape.

I've been lifting for a few decades. I generally don't 1RM but can work out (4-6) reps with 350 or so and I would not consider myself super strong or anything, but decent. I would not buy something that only has a weight capacity of 300. It screams cheap and honestly, one accident and you could permanently injure yourself. DONT CHEAP OUT ON EQUIPMENT LIKE THIS.
Spend a few hundred, do it right.

Most people getting this will be training alone, and those squat racks are very unsafe. You hear stories about people dying due to failing a bench press with no spotter every year.

Please spend money to get even a cheap power cage with strong spotter arms or straps. Dont risk your life to save 200 bucks

Don't expect to ever lift even 200lbs on this. Just a temporary piece of equipment till I get a power rack when I move. You don't think this would be ok even for like 150 lbs or so?

If you're training alone, I wouldn't get it.
If you know you will always train with a partner then it's less risk.

Walmart always has $1/lb bumper plates that pop up here every few weeks. That's the best you're going to get for something shipped to your door.

Just set this up. Does not seem very stable with just 2 45s on the bar.
