squat rack/home gym

chelso0o

I am shopping for a squat rack for my home gym, and would like for both myself and my husband to be able to use it. He used to be a powerlifter, so I know that the rack will have to be VERY sturdy. Can anyone recommend a rack for us? Also, would we have to set up some plywood and mats underneath? We are turning our garage into a lifting/crossfitting/rowing/jump-roping sanctuary! (I am so excited, btw!)

Any other cool home gym product recommendations would also be appreciated!

(I looked back 8 months, and couldn't find this info. Sorry if it has been talked about ad nauseum!)
