Power rack vs rig 

 

A rig will in most cases be the better option in a commercial setting as it is less costly for the same amount of squat and bench stations, while making group training possible. A power rack is usually the better choice for people training at home as training by yourself needs more security options and you won’t train groups at home in most cases.

How powerlifters tick: Interview with Avi Silverberg

I am only a beginner in the world of powerlifting compared to Avi. He has been lifting for more than 10 years and is involved with the Canadian national team. You can find his views and coaching tips at Powerliftingtechnique. He approached me recently to comment on the differences between the sumo and conventional deadlift and he was kind enough to participate in a little interview. Here are the results.
