The most compact solution for heavy squats and bench press!
Pair of squat stands in 60 x 60 mm steel, 300 kg capacity, for a complete squat and bench press station in a minimal footprint. Independent and mobile, these squat stands replace a conventional squat rack wherever space is tight, garage, basement, shared room or training box.
Each stand measures only 74 cm deep and 61 cm wide on the floor, for a total height of 184 cm. Thanks to the built-in wheels at the rear, just tilt them to move them or store them against a wall at the end of your session. Your space is free again in seconds.
The 2.5 cm hole spacing in the bench press zone allows millimetre-precise height adjustment of the J-cups, the difference between an approximate unrack and a perfect lift-off. Above and below this zone, spacing moves to 5 cm for fast adjustment on squat and overhead press.
Designed to grow with your home gym: the full Athéna ecosystem
The uprights in 60 x 60 mm steel tube with 16 mm holes give access to every accessory in the Athéna range. The adjustable pull-up bar links both stands and adds a pull-up zone. Then add, as you progress, sandwich or roller J-cups, landmine for rotational movements and rows, leg roller, row plate, plate storage, wrist roller and more. You start with a minimalist squat stand and build, piece by piece, a complete home gym without ever changing structure. The stands ship with a pair of Athéna J-cups (standard model), so you are ready to train as soon as assembly is done.
Why choose squat stands over a rack:
- Minimal footprint, two independent stands, moved in seconds
- Completely clear access to the bar, appreciated by weightlifters who drop the bar to the floor
- Controlled budget to start, then scalable with the 60 x 60 mm accessories of the Athéna range
- No wall or floor fixing required
Use and safety advice:
- Always set both stands at the same J-cup height and check their alignment before loading the bar.
- On maximal loads, train with a partner or keep a clear area allowing you to lower the bar safely to the floor.
- Check the tightness of the hardware regularly.
Exercises and Muscles Worked with Squat Stands
Squat stands give access to every basic barbell movement. Squat (quadriceps, glutes, core), bench press with a weight bench (chest, triceps, shoulders), standing overhead press (shoulders, triceps), barbell lunges (legs, glutes), good morning (hamstrings, lower back). With the adjustable pull-up bar as a complement, you add pull-ups and hanging exercises to your arsenal. Complete the station with an Olympic barbell, Olympic plates and rubber floor tiles.
Benefits:
- 300 kg capacity for only 74 x 61 cm of floor space per stand, a remarkable stability to footprint ratio.
- Spacing of 2.5 cm in the bench press zone for precise J-cup adjustment, 5 cm elsewhere for fast adjustment (westside spacing).
- Built-in wheels, the stands move and store effortlessly, even in a garage shared with the car.
Bonus: pair your stands with the Athéna adjustable pull-up bar to link them and create a pull-up zone, with roller J-cups to centre the bar effortlessly on bench press, or with sandwich J-cups for your specialty bars and your heaviest re-racks.
