The set includes an Olympic bar, and a set of plates?

Indeed it does. One 35lb bar, two 25lb plates, two 10lb plates, and two 5lb plates, and two collars. Total weight 105lbs. Don't put too much more weight than that or the bar will bend or snap.

Well Richard, if your talking standard plates they go up to 25 lbs, and yes that bar can hold them, they can also hold Olympic Plates (all sizes) you just have to get adapter sleeves for the bar and you'll be able to fit them on each end.

Standards plates have a one inch hole in the middle. Olympic plates have a two inch hole in the middle. So a standard plate would not fit on an Olympic bar because a one inch hole can't fit a two inch bar, BUT an Olympic plate can fit on a standard bar because it's a two inch hole going onto a one inch bar. You can also buy attachments to make a standard bar into an Olympic with a simple cover.

It's designed for standard weights. I believe an olympic bar could sit in the holders though.

Bar is included, weights are not.Any standard weight plates will work with it (example: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/weight-plates.jpg)

I measured and it looks as if a 6 foot bat would work fine, depending on the number of plates on the bar. But keep in mine that this is built for a Olympic bar though.

You have hand space,but an Olympic bar is ,I think,5 ft between collars. Isn't that bar just 5 ft?

"Olympic" refers to the sleeve diameter. If they were the skinny ones, they'd be labeled as "standard" although in the olden days, they were commonly called "exercise" bars and plates.

If the holes of the plates you have measure 1 inch in diameter, than yes they will fit. However, if they are the standard Olympic plates with the 2 inch diameter holes, then they won't fit. Measure the holes on your plates to ensure that they are the 1 inch in diameter holes and you are good to go with this bar.

Yes, you can use an Olympic bar (72 inch or longer). However, the plate storage pegs on this stand are made for standard weights. The olympic weights will fit on the pegs, just not tightly like olympic weight size pegs.

It's two separate pieces, a smaller bar that fits through a sleeve type piece to give it the look and feel of an Olympic barbell. I'd estimate the weight at 30-35 lbs.

Right, it's the bar with the PowerBlock handles attached. You have to have the Classic PowerBlock set of weights.

No just the bench. You need to purchase the Olympic barbell and the weight plates (Olympic) on your own. You can choose to use standard barbell and standard weights but you still need to purchase them separately. The bench is awesome. I've owned it for almost 2+ years and it's like I purchased it last week. It's very durable and has longevity. Good luck.... usually Amazon will recommend added items to your check out procedure where they combine things you will need.... Check that out.... they usually give you bundled deals.

You get the bench that you see in the picture, plus the squat rack. This is a great buy, but you will need to buy a weight set. MAKE SURE to get a 7 foot barbell (most "Olympic" set come with 7ft). I have a 6ft, and it definitely does not work when I add weights (defeats the purpose).

yes, olympic plates and the sleeve comes off to accept smaller diameter platers

Frank, I purchased it and it does not include the 200 pound weight stack. It has a bar you can place plate weights on, however not Olympic plates. I had to purchase a conversion bar to accommodate my Olympic plates.

I own this bar and believe it is right around 45lbs. It does seem a little thicker than a standard Olympic bar. It's held up pretty well across a spectrum of power lifting routines.
