Why it matters

The Gorila Standard

The Gorila J72 squat stand is the perfect heavy-duty rack for confined spaces, small garage gyms as well as larger affiliates and training facilities. It is the smallest version of our Silverback Squat Stands Series with a 74.5" total height but it sure can handle the weight like the big ones. With a bolted-together 48" by 48" base it is very easy to move and store. Nothing can stop it, whether it's for functionnal training, powerlifting, bench, weightlifting, etc.

Its 2.5" steel tubing construction ensures durability and versatility, giving you multiple possibilities for adding accessories at any height and on either side of the rack to make it your own. Plus, the SH25 Jcups will prevent any possible damage to the knurling of your barbells.

Added features:

  • Free upright colour customization
  • SH25 J-cups with heavy-duty HDPE plastic protection
  • Silverback Series hole pattern: 2" away in the squat area and 1" in the bench press area (little reference marks every 5 holes to simplify the adjustment)
  • Lifetime warranty on all Silverback products*

*Note: The correct base plates connecting the upright to the base are shown on the red, black, and white model. The plates in the other image (latest model) are incorrect.

Top Quality Rack

"I've owned this for about a year now and I'm happy with my purchase. It's solidly built and made with high quality materials. I'd say it's similar to comparable Rogue racks. The price is a bit steep and it took a while to ship, but I'm happy to support a Canadian company making good quality products."

Good product

"Very sturdy stand. The only thing I would like to see for the price are minor design details like an engraved Gorila logo on the verticals and possibly numbers next to the hole so they are easier to identify. Great product."

Simon (5/5)

Quality steel, with some compromises

"Pros: - The J72 is made in Canada, and the steel looks and feels high-quality. Note: I have not used racks other than those found in commercial gyms - The design was recently updated to reinforce the strength of the uprights - At a total height of just under 75", this is an ideal solution for basement gyms and lower ceilings Cons: - You're paying a premium for a product made in Canada; similar offers from noteworthy competitors will cost, and ship for, less - With 2.5" x 2.5" tubing, your choices for accessories is limited to Gorila and the few others who work with this unconventional size; if you expect to shop for extensions and accessories, or plan to expand your gym, you may want to look elsewhere - 'Made To Order' may inherently result in delays (I wanted 11 weeks before shipping occurred) (Covid-19 period)"
