Train hard without taking up extra space. Valor Fitness Independent Squat Stands are built for home gyms that need flexibility, durability, and full barbell function without the bulk of a power rack.

Perfect for squats, bench press, shoulder press, rack pulls, and more, these stands support a wide range of strength training movements. Their independent post design makes them easy to store and ideal for compact workout spaces. Beginner-friendly and mobile, they’re a great option for lifters building out a space-efficient setup at their own pace.

Features & Benefits:

HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION: Built from 2” x 2”, 13-gauge steel with rubber foot caps to protect your floors and keep each stand stable.
ADJUSTABLE FOR YOUR TRAINING: Upright height and safety catches adjust to fit your preferred lift setup, whether standing or using a bench.
CHANGING BASE DEPTH: Each stand features a base that adjusts from 20” to 28” deep, allowing you to prioritize space savings or increase stability depending on your workout needs.
CUSTOM STAND PLACEMENT: Set the distance between stands to match different barbell lengths and training preferences. Independent stands are easy to move, position, and store, making them ideal for compact home gym spaces.
BARBELL-READY DESIGN: Includes J-Hooks on each upright to safely rack your bar for squats, bench press, overhead press, and more. Compatible with all standard and Olympic barbells, as well as some specialty bars like rackable short bars, axle bars and curl bars.
TRAIN SOLO WITH CONFIDENCE: Adjustable safety catches help protect you during failed reps, letting you lift heavier without a spotter.

FAQs

Common Questions About the Independent Squat and Bench Stands

What’s the difference between the Core and Pro Series stands?

Both are made from the same adjustable heavy-duty steel frame. The Pro Series features taller uprights, more safety catch positions, an additional j-hook bar holder, and a higher overall adjustment range for serious lifters. The Core Series is slightly shorter and great for general home gym use.

Do the plate storage pegs come off?

Yes, the pegs are removable, allowing for tighter storage or a cleaner setup.

What exercises can I do with these stands?

These stands are great for squats, bench press, shoulder press, rack pulls, and more. Add a weight bench to unlock even more upper body training options.

How long are the safety catches?

Each safety catch is 6.5" long. They add light protection during heavy reps without adding bulk.

What is the max weight I can safely squat or bench?

These stands support up to 350lbs total (including the bar), whether you're squatting or benching.

Great product

These indipendent squat stands with plate storage and bar catch were exactly what I was looking for. I don’t have much space in my home gym and I needed to incorporate barbell exercises into my daily workouts. These are perfect because don’t occupy a lot of space, they are not extremely tall and moreover, feature that I love, they have a plate storage to reorganize my weights beside the fact that they stabilize the stands quite nicely. The material is pretty good and overall I really recommend this item to every home gym owner as the price is really competitive. It’s not for heavy weight lifters but for anything up to 300lbs is perfect!

Works as described - no issues

Sturdy but not for short people

Just a word of caution for other short people, I'm 5'3 and unfortunately I can't flat bench with this because my arms are 1-2" too short for the lowest setting. Looking at sizing, BD-2 would've worked better but it's too short for squats and I don't like the placement of the weight storage rod.

Other than flat bench, it's been pretty sturdy for incline bench and squats with it weighted down with 25lb plates.

Long Term User - Purchased in 2005

I’ve had this squat stand, bought from Dick’s Sporting Goods back in 2005 and it’s still going strong. Quality material that’s lasted me through thousands of workouts over the years. Cannot recommend enough.

I think this is an excellent product.

Incredible value. Can hold a lot of weight while taking up very little space. Very stable at high weights too.

Still in the box to busy to work out

Well made squat rack and shipped quickly.

Product with easy to assemble and seems sturdy
