can you use a 5ft standard bar with his rack?

Probably not, most 6 foot bars have around 47 inches of space, 5 feet olympic bars would likely be less than the required

Probably not. You need the handle between the weight posts to be 46" in length.

This is 45.5 inches wide, so if your 5ft standard bar has that much clearance before the wider part where you place the plates then yes if not then no.

I don't use racks. The bar is set high enough to do dead lifts or upright lifts without needing them. There are stands available from New York Barbell to accompany it if you're interested.

The rack measures exactly 48" wide, to the outside of where the bar rests. If your bar is 48" between, it should fit perfectly & still be able to add weights.

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

A 7ft bar only clears the rack by about an inch on both sides. 6ft bar will not work.

Yes. Just buy the fork. The base bars did not come with my rack. I had to buy the two separately.

I use the 6' bar with these stands. I just widened the base of them. They work great!

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.

I'm 5'11" and my rack is hanging from a 10' ceiling. If you can't reach, you can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some chain to bring the rack closer to you.

It's long enough to fit but you won't be able to alter the amount of weight on it. That just means you'd have to load the weight, deadlift it once on to the rack, do your sets and then deadlift it back down to unload.

Yes you can, they are seperate so you can move them although most use the standard 7' barbell. The feet shouldn't get in your way. Still using them and like them so far.

Hi, I'm not sure about your rack, but I had to build two extenders for mine because the rack trails were too short. I knew they were short because I verified the minimum length of the bars for the hullavator and I mine were about 5" shorter. It is a matter of putting together two metal bars with some clamps (so that I can remove them). Good luck ;)

Not really no, the uprights are too far apart cuz it is meant for a 7-ft (full Olympic size) barbell. If you used a 6-ft you would have to rest the weight-holding part in the rack, which would be very tricky and probably dangerous with weights on the bar.

The workable area between the bolts is a little less than 2 inches. The distance between the bolts is over 3 inches, but you'd have to rig up some kind of plate that would grab a flat bar. Good luck!

Let me give a more complete answer: Yes you can, but the rack has no springs to help you handle the weight, so you rely on the leverage you have and your own strength, and that's it.

The top bar is a minimum of 51". The ends of that bar will pull out another foot on each end, but that is not the way you want to go. Sorry.

The bar I purchased is 5 feet long. I think the word "Standard" refers to the diameter of the bar. Example: The weight plates are available for 1 inch standard (center whole) or Olympic size which is larger.
