IMPORTANT: Our Manticore series of power racks are true 3″ x 3″ tubing with 1″ holes, so only attachments made precisely for 76.2mm x 76.2mm uprights with 1″ holes will fit.
Need room to do what we’re sure is an inspiring and not-at-all embarrassing dance every time you get a PR? The Manticore Squat Stand is perfect for those who can’t be tamed by the constraints of a 4 Post power rack and want the footwork space that our classic Squat Stands can’t offer. Celebratory PR videos are welcome.
Your pull-ups may not be perfect, but our setup is! Whether your pull-ups are textbook strict, a butterfly kip, or some kind of weird caterpillar struggle, all pull-ups in the unencumbered wide open squat stand space are top-notch in our books.
Ready to settle for 1″ holes on all 4 sides? Nah, your inner Swoledilocks deserves “just right” all day, every day. That’s why we went with keyhole slots on the sides of the uprights, so you can side-mount your 5/8″ attachments… as long as they’re destined for true 3″ x 3″ tubing — perfect if you prefer the more economical Hydra rack attachments. Now that’s a fairy tale come true.
Trying to line up your j-cups or spotter arms is arguably the hardest exercise. Fortunately, your days of cursing as a warm-up are over! No more fumbling around trying to guess the right setting — the laser cut numbers ensure perfect balance every time. Now you can go back to doing real gym math: counting by 45s.
The uprights on the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand measure true 3″ x 3″, which is exactly 76.2mm x 76.2mm with 1″ holes.
The assembled dimensions of the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand are:
The Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand weighs a minimum of 110lbs when the shortest uprights and feet are selected with no attachments.
When bolted down or otherwise secured, the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand’s weight capacity is 1,000lbs.
The steel thickness on the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand is 11-gauge/2.9mm.
Only attachments designed to fit true 3″ x 3″ uprights with 1″ holes are guaranteed to fit on the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch 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 Manticore rack.
To assemble the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand, you need two 36mm wrenches (not included by default). Correctly sized box-end, adjustable & socket wrenches are suitable alternatives.
Covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty guarantees that the Manticore 3″ x 3″ Inch Squat Stand will not break under normal use, and protects against defects in material, function and workmanship.
CAI ordered the Manticore Squat Stand with 54" flat feet, 84" uprights and 1" standard pull up bar; along with the spotter arms, sandwhich J cup. If you are Canadian, you are doing yourself a disservice not ordering from Bells of Steel. The quality of this rack is absolutely-without-a-doubt on par with more renown American brands, for significantly cheaper in terms of both item price and shipping thanks to the Canadian Max shipping option. The spotter arms and J cups include magnetic stay bolts which are super convenient and cool, and feel solid under load. The pull up bar width and grip feels perfect during use. My only concern thus far is the sandwhich J cups come with what seems to be a softer plastic than the UHMW lining that the spotter arms use, and has rubbed on to my barbell. The squat rack itself is a beast and has minimal movement while even NOT bolted down. The finish of the product is clean and professional, the welds are solid, and the machining of the holes/numbers are crisp. Pair this with the fact BoS purposely designs its compatibility to work with other companies, there is seriously no reason to spend the money to buy American if you live in Canada!
HI Brendan, Thank you so much for such a stellar review of our Manticore 3x3 squat Stand. We agree, for Canadians it is hard to beat the value this rack offers along with the modularity and we are so glad you are able to see that. We sincerely hope you love your new squat stand for many years to come and thank you again for not only your business but your kind words. Keep up the grind and let the gainz begin ! Marcus & the BoS team
