Overview

A half rack is a two-upright squat and pressing station that takes less floor space than a full cage while still supporting heavy barbell work. It anchors to a wall and is a popular core for compact garage gyms.

Sizing & placement

At 48 inches wide and 84 inches tall, it needs roughly 7 feet of ceiling and the specified 48 inches of front clearance so you can walk out a loaded bar and squat safely. Its 30-inch depth keeps it shallow against the wall.

Where it works

Garage gyms and home gyms; serious barbell-training setups.
