What is the max rated weight for this bar?

I don't know, but it will handle all the 45's you can fit- probably 4 or 5 per side.

Not really sure of the rating, but I put on 450 regularly without any issues.

The cross bars have a rating for weight, I can't remember what it is but I've put larger kayaks on that weigh over 100LB total on the bars.

It all depends on what your doing. The lower the center of gravity the higher the weight you can use. It's gets a little tipsy with sitting shoulder press but everything else seems fine. If you read the reviews i think someone claimed to put 400 or 600 lbs for a bench press. I don't see why it would be a problem unless the bar starts bowing.

I haven't exceeded 30#, but the bar is definitely solid enough to handle more weight. The bar's center is about 8" above the floor at the lowest point.

you definitely CANNOT use an Olympic bar. It only has a TOTAL capacity (including the user) of 300 pounds.

I am not sure what the max weight is, but I am 200lbs and it feels stable. I use it a lot and it takes some abuse. Hope this helps.

The bar I bought takes 1" plates, not Olympic-style plates. I have a pair of 50s I keep on mine, and it could fit 8 or 10 on a side, though I don't know if the bar itself could handle that much weight. I've had low 300s on mine (I'm 68, my heavy days are over) and everything was fine.

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

Hello Elizabeth, I recommend using a 45 lb bar a standard 8 foot. I hope this help you, take care.

1" curl bars are typically rated for 160lbs, but in actuality able to support much more weight. This particular bar would have no problem holding 220 lbs. Beyond that, move up to an olympic bar.

I believe it was 300lbs. These bars don't have a center support bracket so the less weight the better IMO

If you mean what is the max weight it may lift, I don't know what the mfg. says but I know we lifted a huge cabinet that had to weigh at least 250 lbs. and the bar was straining but it lifted high enough to get the sliders under it.

I am certain that the bar is 45lbs. My only way of weighting the bar was to weight my self without the bar on a bathroom scale, then weight myself with the bar on the scale. According to the scale the bar weights 45 pounds.

I don't have many but the bar weighs 50 lbs and it can hold upto 750lbs. I think using my limited amount of plates that 4 or 5 plates per side would be easy for it. I have a picture of my plates on @whey2muscle twitter page.

Height is no issue as you sometime need the low step up bar to rest we going to failure. Not sure of max weight but very sturdy when assembled. Better than what I see at commercial clubs!!

Hey Aaron, The bar is around 30 lbs. (80 lbs. of plates + 30 lb. bar = 110-lb. weight set). It's about 31.2 with the spring clips. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! Regards

yes this is a 45lb bar (20kg). I would not buy it though.... rusty and not good for anything but squat and bench. I replaced it with a Rogue bar.
