Product Features

  • EXTRA-STABLE DESIGN

    The flat foot support system offers sturdiness to avoid accidental acrobatics. Its large contact surface area makes the rack extra stable for racking/unracking your bar, during pull-ups, and when doing dips. Bolting is recommended if using spotter arms, though.

  • PRACTICAL & PORTABLE

    Compact. Efficient. We get it — sometimes, the simplest plan of attack is the most effective. You'll feel Braveheart-level freedom with a top-mounted adjustable pull-up bar. Plus, it's portable! Just crouch inside, grab the uprights, stand up, then walk it where ya want it.

  • WIDE-OPEN SQUATTING

    Need room for your inspiring and not-at-all embarrassing post-PR dance? Squat Stands are perfect for those who can't be tamed by the constraints of a 4 Post rack and want the footwork space that our classic Squat Stands can't offer.

Product Details


This squat stand is to home gyms what the Double Double is to Canada — simple, powerful, and a cultural phenomenon.

Its 1,000-pound capacity outlasts heavy squats, handles big bench presses and withstands chin-ups with 8 kids hanging onto your waist - just bolt it down before you go trying for that new chin-up PR. The uprights measure true 3" x 3" which is EXACTLY 76.2mm x 76.2mm, instead of the typical 75mm x 75mm uprights of other brands' imported racks.

By matching the same tubing specs as many of our American competitors, you can mix and match attachments freely without needing to stick to one brand - hello, open ecosystem! Built with modular components, so you can expand it later with Hydra components into a larger Hydra rack to accommodate a new home gym space or team workouts with your swolemate. Compatible with all Hydra rack attachments, like the hyper-versatile Hydra Lat Pulldown.

Awarded Garage Gym Reviews' Best Squat Rack with Pull-Up Bar in 2024!

IMPORTANT: The Hydra series of power racks are TRUE 3" x 3" tubing with 5/8" holes, so only Hydra attachments & non-B.o.S. attachments made precisely for 76.2mm x 76.2mm uprights with 5/8" holes will fit.

    Great Rack at a Great Price, Packaging Could Be Improved

    I scoured all the options for racks on the market and eventually settled on the BoS Hydra because it seemed to be the best value 3x3 rack at the 90" height I needed it to be and the base width I needed it to be - not to mention I can easily expand it as my fitness journey progresses. I am mainly using it as a super-expensive pull-up bar for bodyweight and calisthenics exercises right now and it's plenty stable with the 62" flat foot attachments without being bolted down. I really appreciated that I could order the rack without the J-cups that I won't be using anytime soon and not have to pay for that part of the build. I'd have liked the pull-up bar to have a little more texture to it, but that's nothing I can't improve on my own inexpensively.

    My one and only gripe is the packaging. A couple of the boxes containing the parts arrived in pretty rough shape, with the parts completely exposed and the powdercoating scuffed and chipped. I think the packaging could be improved by increasing the size of the box just a bit and adding a little extra padding around the corners of the uprights so that the sharp edges of them aren't right up against the cardboard and as likely to burst through the cardboard and become entirely exposed during transit.

    Best rack for the price

    I love this rack I got it during the presale with a couple of attachments and it’s one of the few squat stands I feel comfortable going heavy on instead of needing a full power rack. The spotter arms for it have already saved my life a few times. My only complaints are that because there’s no UHMW on the inside of the attachments they have scratched it a bit in some places and one of the roller cups didn’t have a bolt all the way in for the UHMW pad which scratched the coating on one of bars until I noticed and makes me a little concerned about corrosion in the future. It’s still the center of my gym though and my favorite piece of equipment already trying to decide which attachments to buy next

    Hey Tyler, Thank you for the review on our Hydra Squat Stands and we appreciate the feedback on the attachments and will work to improve our designs. Yours in strength, William & the BoS crew

    Solid and Sturdy

    I have been pumping iron for more than 40 years. I know weight lifting equipment. This rack is solid. This rack is sturdy. It is a beast. I can do pull ups on it without it moving. I work out with gymnastic rings (beginner) hung from the pull up bar. The rack does not move or shake. I need that kind of confidence as I am a large individual (235 lbs). I buy quality and I seek value. I got both with this purchase.

    Satisfied

    Wanted to buy this solely for calisthenics. Was worried about the stability of the thing, so I went directly to the showroom to try it out (highly recommend this). Purchased it yesterday, and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. The metal seems strong / heavy-duty and the stand does not shake whatsoever for me (I'm 5'8", around 65-70kg, and using this for regular calisthenics- i.e. no momentum / kipping- for context). I like the texture and thickness of the pullup bar. 10/10 would buy again.

    Very happy with this 3x3 Rack

    Overall super happy with the purchase.

    What I like:

    Space saver without compromising the functionality and build quality. Exactly what I was looking for. Tried bench press so far and pleased and yet to try Squat workout.

    Really really FLEXIBLE that lets you attach any sort of attachment.

    Definitely recommend this product especially for a home gym.

    What I dis-like or needs improvement:

    Bought this from Toronto stores directly & shocked to see that main spare part/Plate with bolts missing in the box and had to drive again all the way 70+ kms. Really request BOS to please ensure sufficient quality control so all needed HW/accessories are inside the box.

    Otherwise very much pleased with it.
