CS-1 bar rest supports: the basis of safe training
The bar rest supports are part of our range of accessories for CS-1 racks and squat cages. They are one of the first accessories to fit to your rack, even before thinking about comfort options.
Why choose the CS-1 bar rest supports?
On a weight rack, safeties are not an option — they are what lets you push your limits without risk. Without them, it is impossible to attempt a squat PR or to work to failure on the bench press when you are on your own.
Our supports go beyond the simple safety function. Their flat, sturdy surface lets you perform rack pulls, pin squats or presses from the pins. The laser-numbered holes guarantee identical repositioning at every session — essential for tracking your progress on the CS-1 Power Rack.
Result: you turn your cage into a professional training environment, where every set can be pushed to failure in complete safety.
