IMPORTANT: Our Hydra series of power racks are true 3″ x 3″ tubing with 5/8″ holes, so only attachments made precisely for 76.2mm x 76.2mm uprights will fit.
Built with 11-gauge steel, this bad boy can handle the weight capacity needs of world-class lifters. You get even more stability than our Light Commercial Rack which means less shaking when racking your bar or while using attachments. Even if it’s not bolted down, you’ll feel that true #heavyweight status.
Trying to line up your j-cups perfectly can be a pain in the you-know-what. And unlike many of our competitors, we have lasered numbers every 1-2 holes to make adjustments a breeze. So you can easily change your j-cup height after your widow-maker squat set… because counting is HARD WORK when you can barely breathe.
Like cruising through the prairies in your Cadillac with nothing but wide open space, the hydra squat stands are perfect for those who can’t be tamed by the constraints of 4 posts.
Whether your pull-ups are textbook strict, or a butterfly kip, pull-ups in the unencumbered wide open squat stand space are just the best.
The uprights on the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand measure true 3″ x 3″, which is exactly 76.2mm x 76.2mm with 5/8″ holes.
The Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand weighs a minimum of 110lbs when the shortest uprights & cross-pieces are selected with no attachments mounted.
When bolted down securely to the floor, the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand’s weight capacity is 1,000lbs.
The steel thickness on the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand is 11-gauge/2.9mm.
Only attachments designed to fit true 3″ x 3″ uprights are guaranteed to fit on the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand. Attachments for uprights that measure 75mm x 75mm (often labeled as 3″ x 3″ but are based on the metric system and are actually 2.95″ x 2.95″) will NOT fit on the Hydra rack.
To assemble the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand, you need two 24mm wrenches (not included by default). Correctly sized box-end, adjustable & socket wrenches are suitable alternatives.
Covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty guarantees that the Hydra 3″ x 3″ Squat Stand will not break under normal use, and protects against defects in material, function and workmanship.
USGreat shipping and solid product. Using it as a pullup bar for now and for dips with the attachment. I'm 215lb, and sometimes the rack shifts just a bit, which I expected, I can bolt it to the floor if this bothers me.
Hi Dima, Thank you so much for taking the time to review our Hydra 3x3" squat stand and for the 5 star review. We are so delighted you have enjoyed your new piece. We hope to see you again soon! Marcus & the BoS team
I purchased the stand with a 56 inch base, 84 inch height and added on an adjustable pull up bar, dip attachment, spotter arms, and 2 weight storage pegs. I'll break out my review for each part. -The stand - exceeded expectations. I was a little concerned for its stability despite its weight limit but happy to report its incredibly sturdy without being bolted down. It was easy to assemble, powder coat is flawless, and the welds are clean. All reservations went away as soon as it started coming together. - Adjustable pull up bar - I don't really plan on moving it and only got the adjustable because the standard was out of stock. However, it is very secure and could be dropped down and used for a variety of exercises. My only gripe is that it is not knurled. - Dip attachment - attaches easily but it's nice and stable. Next to no slop in the fit and feels sturdy in the rack. - Spotter arms - I haven't had to dump a weight onto these yet but have no reservations in doing so. I have set 315 on the very edges of these and they nor the rack budged whatsoever. -Storage pegs - I am using these on the sides of the rack at the bottom to store 45's which they do nicely. My only issue is when I am benching there is not enough distance between the weight on the pegs and the weight on the bar as it comes down and they bump together so I need to take off the 45s on the pegs. Not a big deal as I am planning on converting this to a half rack at some point, but just something to be aware of if you are buying a stand with storage pegs.
Hi Nick, Thank you so much for a fantastic and in depth review of our Hydra squat stand. We are so happy that you are enjoying it and all the accessories you purchased too. We look forward to assisting you when it comes time to convert to a half rack down the line. Sincerely, Marcus & the BoS team
USI love this rack I got it during the presale with a couple of attachments and it’s one of the few squat stands I feel comfortable going heavy on instead of needing a full power rack. The spotter arms for it have already saved my life a few times. My only complaints are that because there’s no UHMW on the inside of the attachments they have scratched it a bit in some places and one of the roller cups didn’t have a bolt all the way in for the UHMW pad which scratched the
