Unlike other sports powerlifting fortunately for you owners of small spaces need little equipment, but quality. As is well known the loads used for this type of sport are important and need to be supported by materials that can withstand the weight.
Basically the powerlifters train their strength with three groups of exercises
The type of equipment needed to perform the exercises described above translates to :
How much space do we need? Well certainly not so much with a space of only 3m X 3m or even 3m X 2m (in the most extreme cases) we could easily realize our micro home gym by powerlifting.
Now that we’ve figured out how much space we need, we can start thinking about the kind of equipment we need.
Let’s start with the most important thing, the bench.
If you are doing serious weight lifting, the barbell should be kept at the right distance from the arms. Make sure you find a quality product that respects this feature.
If you lift hundreds of kilos the safety and stability of the structure you are using are of vital importance. We at Kingsbox have made one of the best Powerlifting bench models on the market
By combining two key products for Powerlifting we have created a single stable structure. The Kingsbox Combo Pl Bench can be used both as a squat stand with a pair of classic barbell racks (J-Cups) and as a push press bench with round bearings that facilitate the movement of the barbell even when lying down.
The safety arms offer protection during workouts, while the step behind the bench has been designed for those who will help you during your training.
What measures does this super powerlifting bench have? Really contained.
Height: 82 – 100 cm
Length: 120 cm
Width: 110 cm
Thanks to these measurements you can buy a bench of superior quality that can be installed in really small spaces.
If you are not going to buy a COMBO solution you could use a single flat bench and buy a separate rack. Here are the models of flat benches that we recommend.
The new bench has a wider base (250 mm) for more comfortable exercises and a steel profile frame (60 60 mm).
We have expanded our range of benches, creating a new Mighty version with larger profiles, which makes it even more stable. Having 8 cm wide profiles, this bench is suitable for gyms of Powerlifting and Crossfit, where this equipment is used more frequently.
When you perform exercises such as the front or back squat have a support for the barbell is essential a rack will also allow you to safely perform exercises such as relaxing on a flat bench, or bench press in English.
In our catalog we have dozens of solutions that start from self-supporting racks to those to be fixed to the wall. But let’s start from the first :
All the quality of our CX racks but with a smaller height
The Mighty Power Rack CX35 Short 2250 is one of our most popular rig. How could it not be – it is a stable, multifunctional structure, accessible and suitable for any gym.
After receiving numerous requests from customers who have low ceilings in their gyms, we decided to reduce the height of the structure, lowering the columns to 225 cm in height. All other features remain unchanged, so the rack is compatible with all products in the Mighty series. Mounting screws are included in the price.
In case you want a lighter and comfortably transportable structure for reasons of space we propose our legendary Royal Squat Rack SX-5 II.
The stability of this squat rack is much higher than that of the other squat stands.
Too many times that he trains with squats, Press or Bench Press is in difficulty in supporting the barbell bar on the stand as you must always be very careful to center the supports on both sides at the same time so as not to overturn one of the two pedestals.
With this squat stand we solved the problem. Laser cut, welded by professional welders and powder coated in black, this rack is very stable, during the support phase of the barbell you will have the same feeling as when you place the barbell on the columns of the rig. You can lean on over 250 kg.
One of the hottest topics in this discipline, the choice of barbell by powerlifting. As we know, the weight for this type of barbell is infinitely greater than for other sports, but Kingsbox has really thought of everything and presents its barbells from PL.
The Power lifting is a specific sport and precisely for this characteristic needs barbells specially designed. Thanks to its diameter of 29mm (unlike all other barbells that have a diameter of 28mm) the barbell is more rigid, which is particularly important especially in the execution of squats.
The barbell is equipped with a unique Knurl Mark, suitable for Power lifting and also has a central knurling.
The Dark Knight Bar is a special barbell bar that combines the best features of barbells for powerlifting and weightlifting. Like all of our barbells, it remains faithful to the double medium-strong knurling, which in addition to ensuring a solid grip and also suitable for all types of training.
Powerlifting is a very specific sport that requires very specific barbells. The Underground Power Bar was made by hand and according to the standards of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF). What distinguishes it from other Olympic barbells are the diameter of 29 mm and the absence of bearings, which makes the barbell more rigid. The central part is coated with black zinc, the handles are chrome plated
The barbell has single and central knurling, rough, which ensures a good grip.
The Underground Power Bar is excellent for squats, bench presses and dead lifts.
The carpet antitrauma has been designed for all those who need a durable surface, suitable for all types of training, including those where heavy loads are repeatedly thrown to the ground.
Its composition allows the surface to absorb the rebound of the falls of the barbells and weights, reducing the noise caused by them. It also protects the floor from possible damage caused by heavy loads that are thrown to the ground.
The rubber thus absorbs impact, reduces bounce and noise and is also very easy to install and clean. Its composition ensures great strength, long life, without shelling. You can use it to cover the floor of the entire area, to realize your weightlifting platform, to add height to your plyo box etc. Perfect floors for functional gyms.
Powerlifting discs are made of two materials, usually rubber/steel or steel only. We at Kingsbox offer you our legendary Competition Bumper Plate. Made to the highest European standards.
Made for more experienced weight lifters, for whom competitions are a daily thing.
To ensure effective training the colors of the bumpers vary as a result of their weight, which makes it easier to distinguish and find them. The diameter of the discs complies with IWF standards (450 mm). Compared to the other discs, the Bumper Plates Compettion they are a bit thinner so you can load more weight on a single barbell. The stainless steel insert has a larger diameter which makes it more durable and suitable for high intensity workouts.
The most demanding athletes only want the best for their daily training: millimeter precision and no weight variation. These discs are produced with extreme precision – they are in fact perfectly barbelld weight and shape. The hole is standard size (50.4mm).
