I am 5' 10" and it works great for me. There is even extra height I could go to so I don't think you should have an issue. It is one of the better units.

It has three positions. I'm 6'2" but longer then usual reach. I use it in the middle position and still have full motion.

Mine has worked fine. Easy to move and store. I am 5'4" and 115lbs, might be different for really big guys, but I did not want to pay over a grand for a bunch of bells and whistles I don't need like with the gym models so this was perfect for me and well worth it considering the low price.

Being 6'4", I have to slide either up or down on the bench to avoid hitting the bar. It took a few reps to figure out what worked best for the amount of weight I was using, but overall it works just fine. I am still quite pleased with my purchase and am looking to add on to it shortly!

No problem. Im working out with two guys 6'3""tall. Using it for squats, standing presses. Good deal for the price

Unless you are squatting 100lbs and less, this bar would not be the one I would get if any squatting above 100lbs is your aim. I would only squat lightweight with this (my wife) and me (for warming up and just stretching), so I just clean it off the floor. It is a nice bar for curling and pressing but I think I am going to just go ahead and buy the Olympic bar , so I can only recommend to buy the Olympic full bar and especially if you are buying a rack. I am not sure if that answers your question but my opinion.

I don't think that would work. Per the video, your foot will be on the ground when you first step in for safety. My pullup bar isn't very high either so I lean my feet forward some to create more room. I know sometimes I lose the full extension too.

There are definitely no issues doing shrugs. I am 6'1" & don't have any issues bent down near the floor doing dead lifts. I had the same concern before I bought the bar, but it works for me. I love this bar!

It only goes up to 4 .6 feet in height, which is very short but then it is not built for heavy squats. I'm 5'5" and it is too short for me....and won't hold up under the weight I normally use as 315 is only my third warm up set.... If you are going heavier, get a better and more expensive rack. There is no way anyone who is over 6' could use it. They'd have to take the bar from the bottom position and that would no work with heavy weight.

without using a tape measure it will be plenty high enough for anyone to comfortably perform squats. this bar is not in a position to use for the military press (shoulder press) but can be used for bench (both incline and flat). Should also note: This set up is not for advanced users. If your frequently putting more than 300 lbs. on the bar while using this bench you will start to question the construction. Other than that its a nice multi-use platform for an affordable price.

6'1" chiming in to say you can do the full rotation. Sense you'll be seated through 90% of the exercises height won't be a factor. The only thing that could cause a problem for a tall person is the lower pulley when doing arm exercises. Luckily, the system comes with a chain that extends the cable a few feet. So you will be fine.

I am 5'4" and I am using this machine to work my shoulders, core and lower back. I find that by adjusting my legs i.e. push with legs and knees (shoulders, back), straight legged (core, shoulders, back), and alternate weight on each leg (core, back) that I am getting the desired results I wanted. By focusing on which muscles I want to work on, I find my body works on them accordingly. Hope this helps you. I really love this machine. I crave my sessions on it as opposed to dreading that 'work-out'. Very relaxing and you can work as hard or soft as you like.

I don't think you can, or would, push it past the stops. I have shorter legs, about a 30" to 31" inseam, and I can hit the stops. I also have extremely powerful legs and could press far more than this machine can accommodate. So my point is, keep in mind that this is a good machine, but think lighter weight, more reps, and don't expect it to be like a serious high-end gym machine. It is a great home piece.

I'm 6'7. I didnt have any issues using this rack. I did have to use the 2nd or 3rd highest setting ,since that felt more secure. (i didn't trust the highest setting for heavier weight, but i never tested it either) Either way, I never had an issue with this rack at my height. I did sell it for a full cage I bought on this site however.

I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches. My only issue is occasionally lightly bumping the rear of the seat on the rail stops in full leg extensions. I'd predict that legs 32" and below would be perfect for full extension clearance and upper body movements. The rollers are a bit noisy but otherwise mine has been a very reliable outrigger rower allowing the additional upper body range of motion. I keep the resistance lower for primarily toning and stretching. For the price, it's very competitive. If you're pushing yourself hard, a more robust, expensive unit like Boris recommended may be the best option. I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches.

I'm 5'6" and 166 lbs and I have no issues with it. When you first start to use it, it can be uncomfortable on your neck and shoulders but the more you wear it the easier it gets. You can also condition your way up to the full way by removing some sand bags and working your way back up to it. Just be cautious with the types of workouts your doing.

Yes, it'll decline where the bar is. The bench isn't very sturdy if you're a big person. The rack was fine. I had no issues loading up my weights.

I have the same problem, I have a pullup bar that stands on the floor. The band still worked for me pretty well. What I had to do is bend my legs and the band rides down my thigh as I start the pullup but then as I straighten my legs the pressure comes off the thigh. It was quite awkward at first, but I got used to the motion and now I don't even notice it. They key to this is where you situation the band on the chinup bar. For example, on a wide grip chinup you need to situation the band just INSIDE your hand on the side that you're putting your foot into on the support strap. That way the strap won't cross your body or run outside your leg making it harder to bend your knees. Long story short, you can make it work, and in my opinion it is worth using the product. I've seen huge gains with it. Cheers. Ben.
