Power rack question

Easier to move and can hold a shite ton without damaging your bar

I prefer pin/pie safeties because they make rack pulls easier. Plus you can always wrap them in some sort of tape (e.g. replacement tennis racket grip tape) if you’re concerned about barbell damage.

There’s a great video of some guy dropping an 800 lb loaded bar onto the strap safeties from shoulder height. Didn’t break or bend the rack or anything...damn impressive
