Powerlifting Monolifts from Rogue

Are you into serious powerlifting with heavy weights? Then you might need a Monolift. For a safe execution of maximum-effort squats, a Monolift is needed. It is a rare style of rack that eliminates the walk-out phase of the squat and can build supreme rigidity and tightness. This makes the lift safer and more secure, and you save more energy for other productive training. Here are some of the monolift options we are going to look at: Monolifts – Overview How does the Monolifts work? The hooks that hold the bar pull back when you un-rack a loaded barbell in a Monolift, so you can squat where you’re standing; no need to move away from the rack. When you finish the set, the hooks are turned back into their original position under the bar enabling you to effortlessly re-rack it; again without taking any step. The exclusion of the walk-out and security spotters make the Monolift the most secure way to overload the squat. But squatting in a monolift is not as simple as un-racking then squatting. It takes practice, [Read more …]
