When pulling heavier weight 300#+ it looks like the bar is behind your center of gravity. Is it harder to lift the weights off the stand? Lifting 365

Yeah if you're pulling that much weight, I think it would be better to just buy a power cage/rack

It would feel weird using this for benching. You wouldn't be able to grip the bar wide enough and would build your muscles unbalanced compared to a straight bar. when you go to a straight bar you wouldn't be able to lift as much and would probably do so without good form if you were to use this for benching.

I'll respond with most likely, because there are 2 locations on the weight bar for hanging extra weights. The deal is you have to purchase the 2 extra weights to match the total weight you want to achieve.

Do you mean hold it in your hand or use your back to go against the wall? I have used it with my back against the wall at the gym and it was fine. I have not tried to hold it while I squat.

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.

I think most bars that hold weight on each end are 35lbs. I didnt weigh it. Just a suggestion, get the weight set w it, n u can change the weights

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

Cherokee might be pushing the weight limit on this bar. You might need the higher end bar.

A little, yes. To hold onto the bar, you are slightly slumped forward. What I do is place one hand on the wall so that I can stand up straight.

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people

yes I use both sides, when dead lifting. over and under. Hope that answer ur ??

I am assuming that you mean by too much weight that you are able to begin the lift but not able to finish to the point where you swing the support into place to hold the weight then you would have to lower the weights to the floor by slowly standing up letting them crash to the floor. r

I can lift over 500lbs on the standing calf raise machine. But 150lbs feels heavy on this seated calf machine. So you will run out of strength before you run out of room for weights on this machine. It will hold more weight than you can lift. I can squat over 300, deadlift 400 & bench press 250 so I'm not a weak person saying this. But I've never loaded it up with weights because It holds more than I can lift. Hope this helps.

Simply adjust the side bars just a tad below your chest. I work out with 315lb and occasionally I go up to 405lb. I stick out my chest and if I ever get stuck, I just lower my chest and let the bar sit on the side bars.

I had the doorway pull up bar first for several months. Since having the power tower I would not go back to using the doorway bar. The pull ups feel more natural. To me anyways I love it. Its sturdy but keep in mind it all depends how clean your pull ups are. If your kipping (jerking your body) then it will wiggle around on you.

Unless you are squatting 100lbs and less, this bar would not be the one I would get if any squatting above 100lbs is your aim. I would only squat lightweight with this (my wife) and me (for warming up and just stretching), so I just clean it off the floor. It is a nice bar for curling and pressing but I think I am going to just go ahead and buy the Olympic bar , so I can only recommend to buy the Olympic full bar and especially if you are buying a rack. I am not sure if that answers your question but my opinion.
