Rogue power racks are too big and expensive. Will this be good enough for squats and overhead press? I don't really do a wide variety of exercises. Only thing I'll be missing from having a full power rack is doing pull ups.

I only use the one at our gym for barbell curls but that looks like it would work just fine.

no. you want a power rack with four upright standing bars and safety bars going across on each side.

I built a power rack from 2x6's and iron pipe to fit my space for not that much. Look around and there are plans online.

Caveat: I am not a big guy and don't lift huge weights

Probably work fine for your purposes. I bought this one a while back and it does everything I need to do.

I saw "squat" and "rack" so I just had to click. It wasn't what I expected to see!!
