Professional competition Combo Rack for squat and bench press.

The ATX Combo Rack is a 2-in-1 competition weight bench specially designed for professional squats and bench presses. The rack is heavy duty and finished to a high standard, with a wide base and thick rubber feet for extra stability. The removable bench is easy to move thanks to the integrated wheels and the bow handle. The cushion is made of polyurethane foam with a grippy texture. The spotter platform makes it possible for the spotter to take a comfortable and safe position.

The telescopic barbell supports are height adjustable in fine 25 mm increments and feature laser-cut numbering. Thanks to the lifting mechanism, the barbell rests can be quickly and effortlessly adjusted in height to almost any body size, without having to remove the barbell or the weight plates. The barbell rests are securely locked at the desired height with solid steel magnetic locking pins that are secured against loosening. To make it easier to adjust, the barbell supports are filled with wood on the inside, so that the locking pins can be inserted effortlessly through the holes without getting caught. The uprights can be tilted inward 7.5 degrees, allowing large athletes to use a wide grip while squatting.

The J-hooks are equipped with plastic rollers so that the athlete can easily move the barbell to the left and right during the setup. The rollers are equipped with needle bearings to rotate smoothly and are also made of plastic so that they do not damage the barbell. Thanks to a groove on the front of the rollers, the barbell always lies still in the same position. If necessary, the rollers can be easily replaced, for example when they are worn out. The J-hooks have an extra low lip so that the athlete can easily remove the barbell.

The emergency supports are height adjustable in fine steps of 25 mm and feature laser-cut numbering. The 53 cm long emergency rests are covered with thick rubber and are equipped with face savers that keep the barbell away from the face. Steel brackets on the sides of the emergency supports help prevent the barbell from falling between the uprights and the emergency supports. Just like the barbell rests, the emergency rests are filled with wood to make adjustment easier. If desired, the emergency supports can be easily detached from the rack and removed.

The ATX Combo Rack was developed in Germany and is European certified to EN 20957 I.II.IV Class S for professional applications. In addition, the ATX Combo Rack is certified by the IPF for use in official powerlifting competitions.
