Would this squat rack be any good?

I'm only squatting 55kg and at the moment and I think this has a max of 100kg or so, and I might get a while out of it. Seems to be the cheapest out there and the catcher struts are a positive.

If its just a squat stand you want, buy a pair from the like of d8 fitness.

At squatting 55kg you might be better putting the money towards a gym membership to get some advice and build up your knowledge to go with everything else. Just my opinion.

Looks a bit flimsy to me, I wouldn't squat with it, Id agree if your gonna spend hundred quid spend it on a decent gym, you'll be able to pick up advice along the way to on how to get stronger as you progress.

100kg, so any weight where your sitting on the bench its only safe for 20kg, if your around 80 say.

It's says max user weight is 100kg not max load. It's a rough guide to cover their ass not a limit.
