I build competition platform and hard core weightlifting equipment.  This equipment is now in a number of personal and commercial hard core gyms, and used in a number of powerlifting meets including big name meets such as the Raw Unity Meet and Clash for Cash.  Tubing is 7 gage (3/16" wall) of 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 or 3 x 3 square.  Very heavy and strong.  Equivalent or better than the best from Samson, Forza, Serpa, Elite Fitness, etc., at much lower prices.

I am only available to build equipment for local customers by special agreement.  Polak Made LLC is in the process of closing.

Other advantages of Polak Made over the competition are much tighter tolerances between moving parts, tighter welding tolerances, unique splayed base reduces twisting and does not get in the way of spotters,   2 1/2" saddle opening on the squat saddles, tabs for bolting to platform or floor.  Much stronger bench safety stands.  Polak Made combo racks are built to IPF specifications (not IPF approved).

Polak Made combo racks have been used in the Cash for Clash, Raw Unity Meet, and numerous powerlifting meets for 100% RAW, ADAU, and Raw United.
