Is there such a thing as a portable power cage?

What I have in mind is something modular that breaks down into a few pieces and can be reassembled easily without having to unbolt everything and bolt it back together. I expect to be moving at some point and I'd like to take it with me without too much hassle.

The closest I've seen is a combo squat-bench rack that comes in two pieces, but it looks kind of flimsy.

Power rack, not really.

Squat rack, Ironmind sells one designed for portability. I'm not sure you can bench from it, but it is legit for squat, ohp, dips and pullups. 32 pounds total and easy to disassemble.

That's sort of what I'm looking for. A bit pricey though.

Ironmind's stuff is expensive. They outfitted World's Strongest Man for years though and their stuff is solid.

I've never bought a rack from them, but have bought grippers, a sandbag and harness and they were all good. Their stuff is usually above market price, but in this instance, I'm not aware of too many racks/stands specifically built for portability, which is why I gave you theirs.

Bench is not a huge thing. The floor press is always an alternative. I guess a couple of sawhorses could do for spotter arms if you have to bail out of a squat.

A yoke from rogue would be perfect in this situation especially when what you like to do. Opens up some strongman stuff to.

Rogue sells conversion kits from the S1, 2 and 3 into yokes. If easy disassembly isn't big and you like strongman, those are a good option.

They also can add spotter arms and will convert down to bench.

No joke, this seems like a great home gym option. I have never thought to do this before. I’m glad I didn’t pull the trigger on another rack earlier in the year.

The Rogue squat stands work great for bench/squat combo

Super light and very easy to move
