Abstract: A barbell exercise rack that includes a support base with a support stand upstanding therefrom to which are secured a pair of cantilever support arms. Each arm has a rack which holds the barbell while allowing the barbell to be lifted therefrom. The cantilever arms are mounted so that the outer ends are adjustable to be selectively converged and diverged in order to adjust the racks to various weight lifters. Preferably the height of the cantilever arms is also adjustable while the stand may include either one or two upright support elements.
