Stabilise your CS-1 rack without bolting it to the floor
The CS-1 front extensions are the ideal solution for reinforcing the stability of your CS-1 weight rack without having to bolt it to the floor. By widening the footprint by 66 cm towards the front, they considerably reduce the risk of tipping during heavy or explosive movements.
The extensions add two extended uprights (75 x 75 mm, 11-gauge steel) to the front of your cage. They bolt on, with no drilling into the floor, and remain compatible with all the accessories in the CS-1 range: Landmine, band pegs and bar rest supports. They are sold in pairs.
Whether you train in a home gym or a professional gym, these extensions provide the safety needed to make full use of your rack, including for exercises that require working in front of the cage.
Why stabilise your rack with front extensions?
When a rack is not bolted to the floor, certain movements can unbalance the structure: heavy re-racking after a heavy squat, explosive pull-ups, using the Landmine for pressing... Without an anchor point, the rack’s limited footprint may not be enough to counter these forces.
The CS-1 front extensions solve this problem by extending the support base of your cage by 66 cm. The structure’s centre of gravity is lowered and shifted forwards, which neutralises tipping forces. For anyone who cannot bolt their weight rack to the floor, it is the simplest and most effective solution for training safely.
A wider working area in front of your cage
Beyond stability, the extensions create a genuinely safe working area at the front of your rack. You can attach your bar rest supports, your Landmine or your band pegs there, and freely perform the exercises that need space in front of the cage: walking lunges, Landmine press, standing rows and many more.
