How to Move a Squat Rack

A squat rack or power rack is heavy steel that is often bolted to the floor and loaded with plates. The move is straightforward but physical: clear the weights, unbolt, break it down, and manage the heavy uprights.

Pro tip: Keep floor anchor bolts in a clearly marked bag, since replacements must match your rack and flooring.

Watch out: Never move a rack with plates or a loaded bar in place, as shifting weight can crush feet.
