SHANE'S TRAINING – Week of May 05, 2025
Not a lot to report this week. I’m just following the plan and resisting the urge to squat. My lifts have been feeling good, which helps me find solace in not barbell squatting. That is the goal after all.
I am glad I purchased the Portable Agile Rack. It's easy to set up and break down and doesn't take up too much space when folded. I like in an apartment and I don't have the room to keep a squat rack set up for having something like this is great for me. It's sturdy and I haven't had any issues with it thus far. I might make a video about it too lol.
I initially ordered a set of 2 lever-arm Set Screws, when I received them I screwed them in on one side while still using the original screws that came with the rack, and I noticed how the side with the lever-arm screws were more sturdier, and a lot easier to tighten than the originals, that forced me to order a second set and yes the rack is a lot sturdier and again easier to tighten than the original...All I can say is definitely a great idea, I'm just very much impressed with the verse rack in general, a lot of people are in "Aww "about it when I explain and even show pictures, and most of all the fact you can take it anywhere is the hook, so I'm very much looking forward to future add-ons, just an fyi you have a "Lifetime" customer here, great product and with these additions it makes it an Outstanding product.
Exactly what I wanted for my small apartment. Really easy to open the rack up and now I can turn some of the fat I've been collecting unto muscle?
I bought the nicer J clips but the ones it came with seem like they'd do the job fine.
The rack feels pretty stable but I probably won't be putting more than 185-215 pounds on it so it works great for me.
These spotter arms are an absolute game-changer for the Verse Fitness mobile squat rack. I’d been searching for something to boost my safety—especially when squatting with a safety bar due to ongoing shoulder issues that keep me from using a traditional barbell.
While I usually have a spotter, there are days when I just want to get after it solo—and that’s where these really shine. They give me the confidence to push through reps without hesitation, knowing I’ve got reliable backup right there with me. Solid, dependable, and exactly what I needed to train hard and stay safe.
