If you want to keep an Olympic bar off the floor without drilling into the wall, this rack-mounted holder is a neat, compact option for a home gym. It fixes directly to a power rack upright, helping save space while keeping your bar close at hand between sessions.
This Lights Mountain holder is designed for 3×3 power rack uprights, with the best fit on racks that use 5/8-inch holes. It can also be used with 1-inch holes via the included adapter, although the fit may not feel quite as tight depending on the rack.

For buyers comparing storage options, the main appeal here is the no-drilling installation. It uses a screw-tightened design that mounts straight onto the rack, so setup should be simpler than wall-mounted alternatives and better suited to shared spaces or garages where permanent fixing is not ideal.
The holder is made from heavy-duty steel with a powder-coated finish, and it includes protective padding where the bar sits. That is useful if you want to reduce contact damage to the bar’s knurling during storage. The key thing to check before buying is your rack’s hole height, as the bar needs enough clearance to stay fully off the ground.
- Made for 3×3-inch rack uprights
- 5/8-inch holes offer the most secure fit
- 1-inch holes can be used with the supplied adapter
- No drilling required for installation
- Protective padding helps shield the bar from wear
At this price, it looks like a practical choice for lifters who want a straightforward way to store a barbell on the rack itself rather than leaning it in a corner or mounting a wall holder. Its compact design should suit smaller home gym layouts where every bit of floor space matters.
The main limitation is compatibility. If your rack does not use 3×3 uprights, or if the highest usable hole still leaves the bar too close to the floor, it may not be the right fit. For the right rack setup, though, this is a simple and tidy storage upgrade with a well-finished, protective design.
