Yes, but they are considerably heavier than other squat stands on the market. The reason for this is because it would tip from the barbell’s weight if the rack itself was light. It’s generally safer to use bumper plates and bail the weight off your back in the event that you are unable to complete the lift. Consult a personal trainer or coach for the proper form if you have never bailed a heavy weight before, as you should practice it before the moment you need to use it. Using a spotter is recommended as well.
