Best Strength Training Power Cages Buying Guide
Before choosing the best strength training power cage you should consider following options:
1. Durability: Your number-one concern should be durability. A strength-training power cage must be built to last—and be worthy of the money you spend.
Not only does it need to support your weight but it must also support the weight of the barbell and the weight of the plates it holds. The metal should be thick and the powder coating should be durable.
2. Quality of Construction: Look for a cage with a sturdy base, supported by at least two legs. The uprights should be thick and strong, and the uprights should be bolted together as opposed to welded or screwed.
Try to avoid cages that are made of square tubing, as it will not hold up as well over time. The sturdier the frame, the better.
3. Ease of Use: How easy the cage is to adjust is important. The easier it is to adjust the better, especially if you are training with a partner.
