Half Rack

How to adjust

Insert the J-hooks into the holes on the two uprights at a height just below your shoulders when standing.
Extend the safety arms fully to the front and set them at a height just below your lowest rep position.

Load weight plates onto the bar while it rests on the J-hooks, and confirm there's enough space behind you to complete the full range of the lift.
Step in from the front (the open side of the rack) to unrack the bar.
Perform your lift, with the safety arms below in case you fail a rep.
Re-rack the bar deliberately onto the J-hooks when you finish your set.

Extend the safety arms fully and set them just below your lowest rep position before loading — with only two posts, a half rack needs the safety arms set precisely to catch an off-center bar.
Check that both J-hooks are at the same notch before loading the bar.
Re-rack the bar deliberately onto the hooks, never drop it.
If you can't stand the bar back up or press it up mid-set, sink until the bar settles fully on both safety arms and duck out the front — never grind it out. After unracking, take only one step back so you always stay between the safety arms; outside their reach nothing catches the bar.
