Has anyone used this for weight lifting?

yes. It's really great. It is VERY adjustable and will hold without clamping your arteries (unless you make it a tourniquet) There's a side-flap that I use to hold my Avantree Jogger Bluetooth headphones while travelling. It's been wearing well, but after about 6 months, I do see some fraying in the velcro.The only issue I had while lifting was with cables while performing shoulder fly's. Sometimes the cable will catch a little.

I use mine when lifting weights, but with my back I don't ever do anything very heavy.

I use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet

I run and lift weights and it is wonderful. I plan to give one to my son who rides a bicycle to his job so ask again in a few weeks.

Yes just like most any other weight lifting exercise. If done with correct form there are great benefits from this machine.

Yes! I have used it for hip thrusts and is PERFECT for that purpose! Nice and thick!

I just got it, waiting for plates to arrive, but yes, it seems to be a pretty solid bar...a bit greasy upon arrival but once cleaned up, I used it to practice snatch form with just bar...It's no Rogue but good enough for home gym use for sure!

This heavy duty belt supports your back, keeping it in place and safe for your lift. Without it your putting your self at risk of being injured as I did once, trying to prove that I was strong. I have my regrets but I'm still able to lift, so now I make sure I use this Belt. It definitely works and 180 lbs I think your pushing it. Anything over 100 lbs you should definitely use the belt. I know the right posture helps when lifting but why take chances with your health. Your in the right direction for asking, keep doing more research and learn from other peoples mistakes.

When I purchased the bench I weighed 268 lbs and the bench has held up fine. A word of caution though, I don't believe this bench was meant to used for lifting weights. It is fine for use lifting dumbells, doing crunches, etc., but not for barbells. I'm down to 238 lbs and the bench is part of my workout.

I have used it for softball and golf and feel its provides stability when playing these sports.Since I have not used it for squats not sure

Not really ... provides mainly lateral support. I know first hand, as I do squats in my fitness regimen. One negative, the support starts to rip apart near the 'pull-up' loops ... asked CS for support - got no reply ... this after a short usage time. Plus, the support is virtually impossible to remove if you are a heavy sweater; moisture binds the fabric to the skin making removal a challenge.

I've had mine for a few months and do crossfit workouts with it so it gets used heavily and looks and is still working perfectly! So I would say yes.

I get a good workout on it. I am very out if shape after having a baby but I only use it with one or 2 (at most) of the resistance bands. If I put all 4 on I cant do my workout bc I can't do more than 5 reps... I would recommend this machine. For $150 bucks, I think it's a great workout. Really sculpts and tones and builds strength. My husband uses it too and he is very fit and strong and he seems to get a decent workout on it. I would buy it again.

I'm sorry but I have only used it to sit the back is strong enough to help you lift yourself up. I hope this helps

I wear mine to lift, so not sure. But it's so cheap why not try it. It would be more comfortable than a leather one.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.
