Shouldn't be a problem. I was 240 at the time I used it + close to 300 lb of weight. Not sure what are the limits on their warranty.

i believe it was 210lbs i returned this home gym i do not suggest you purchase this machine is not for a serios lifter and angled bars on the smith machine portion makes benching awkward

They can fit like 25lb plates. How would a rack assist with deadlifts? lol. Go buy a cheap flat bench and you do bench press. Its worth the money. I have one and love it.

The bench is pretty good for the price. It's not commercial gym grade by any means. . I bench 240 and use about 60-80 pounds on preacher curl at the gym. The bench can handle heavy weight but it does get a little wobbly. It takes a little extra weight control and form which can be good for the workout I guess. . Overall for price it's good. Not a bad deal.

I didn't do any of the weighing myself but going off of what everyone said I see it like this: 1 Handle(5lbs)+2 Weights @ 2.5lb's(5lb's)+2 Weights @ 5lb's(10lb's)= 20lb's Per Dumbbell. Left Dumbbell is 20lb's and Right Dumbbell is 20lb's. Adding the collars would actually make each dumbbell weigh 24lb's each. Again I didn't weigh anything I don't even own them....yet.

If this rack truly has a "250 lb. load capacity," then they should show us a picture of it supporting five 45-lb. barbell plates. This is only 225 lbs. and should pose no problem for a "commercial grade" clothing rack with a "250 lb. load capacity." I seriously doubt that a rack whose top and lower bars come in two pieces can support a fraction of that rate without bending, bowing or collapsing.

It would work fine for you. We have someone at 215 using ours. We did end up buying a bigger barbell after using this one a while and fighting our hand placement on this bar.

The squad rack is VERY sturdy. I'm actually 6 FT. as well. Bout 225lbs. The spotters are very well made and you have about 3 or 4 different levels you can put the spotters on. They are also great for using when you want to do any type of shrugs, deadlifts, biceps curl using the barbell, etc. It's actually real nice for that stuff. I have squatted well over 350lbs using the squat rack but I re-racked it. I have yet to "need" the spotters. But I'm certain if they were needed they would NOT fail. The system is very sturdy and nicely made. I workout on it almost everyday!! I've had it for maybe close to a year now. Can't remember exactly when I bought it but it is real nice. You won't be disappointed. Any other questions feel free to ask. And good luck with your purchase!!

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

I would not recommend putting more that 300 pounds on the squat rack. The rack is not very stable and tends to rock with heavier weight. I recommend even less weight when you are trying to bench. This not a really good bench for heavy lifting.

No, this bench has a max weight limit of 300lbs. In this case the barbell weight used would exceed the bench limit.

Hi, porchpotato. I don't own and haven't used this product, but I own a pair of similar RAWBuiltTech standard-size barbell collars. I don't have one of those interchangeable-plates dumbbell sets, but I can say this much: even a 25 LB (old) Weider weight plate and a pair of (much newer) 5 LB Weider plates (or "disks") press against the clamped-on barbell collar (when the barbell is tilted even moderately). The 35 LB weight-plate trio then causes the barbell collar to shift toward the end of the barbell sleeve, if only by a fraction of an inch. Oh, I know that virtually no-one is tough enough (or dexterous enough) to try handling and curling a 70 LB dumbbell set made with 25 LB weight plates, but I hope my reply is a bit useful ...

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.

It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's a few inches of gap. It does not affect the bench. I will say this. It is not commercial grade gym quality bench. It can get a little wobbly when using heavy weight. I bench 225. It's great for dumbbells and the preacher curl is a huge plus but again a little wobbly with heavy weight. I find this bench to be one if best out there.

hey T....this bench will take a 1 inch barbell. Well it takes the CAP Barbell one that is 72 inches in length.. I believe item #is rb-72t, i bought here on amazon as well. You need to make sure your bar inside callers are longer than 46 inches. The rb-72t measures inside collar to inside collar 48 inches, so it does work with this bench. Hope this works, I had similar questions when i bought this bench. Dave

I got and recommend an Olympic bar & weight set. Its a 2inch grip 45lb barbell & then 260lbs of weights. You can order them online but unless you can find it for free or low shipping its best to use local. Amazon has them as a set from diff sellers for $385 to over $400. Dicks Sports has them for $209 in store but charges like $200 to ship it to you. I went to our local Hibbetts sports & bought them. The bar comes with 2 clips
