I'm confused how the squat functionality is achieved? Does the bench portion pull away? Or do you just stand with your legs straddling the bench???

The bench and rack are two separate pieces, just pull the bench away when squatting.

The bench pulls away. The bench and the squat rack are separate pieces of equipment

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.

The bench declines. I've had it in that position. However, there is only one decline position. It is not possible to remove the leg part and keep the preacher curl. That is a one piece assembly.

It gives your lumbar support while you squat... It doesn't matter how much you are squatting, this protects your back no matter what level of lifting you are at.

I do squats with it. But any other leg workout it will bind up and you can not get a full range of motion.

It is really designed, so your feet only are on it raised, giving the squatting position.There is a video on youtube by manufacturer. Your weight wouldnt be an issue. Used correctly or even if somehow you choose to stand. But I would watch video, it works very easily as designed

Do you mean hold it in your hand or use your back to go against the wall? I have used it with my back against the wall at the gym and it was fine. I have not tried to hold it while I squat.

They sell a spotting stand for press exercises. Setting on your thighs is not really an option for this type of exercise. Until I become super beast, something in my shoulders may tear pulling them off my thighs to get them into press position. Also for decline bench, it's a feat mounting the bench while holding the dumbbells. Stools on each side of the bench work great for incline, decline, or military presses.

Yes, I believe I did. The squat rack is nicely built and extremely sturdy and durable. The pull up bars are heavily padded----with a strong material not like those other pull up bars that fall apart with a few weeks of use.It also has many safety features as well as j-hooks for you to rest the bar. I loved the lat attachment which you have to purchase separately. It's a very convenient way to work arms, back and even abs.I hope I answered your question.Take care

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

This model does come with the squat and the bench press equipment. Works great too, very smooth movements. Feels like good gym quality equipment. Can't beat the price on Amazon with the free shipping either. This beast weighs over 700 lbs.

No it's not straight or goes invert just slight decline and incline and horizontal perfect for benching and legs not for say military push ups. Hope this helps gives u an idea but it's a nice strong bench.

I don't use the rack for squatting, simply because when the rack is extended to it's max, I don't feel comfortable with the stability. That being said, I do use it for bench and military presses and have worked to the mid 300's and I feel OK with that weight being on the rack, mind you the stands are only 1/2 to 2/3 extended, I am 6'3", so I normally take the weight from the rack in a higher position than most. The fixed portion of the rack is good quality, the adjustable portion seems like it could have been made of heavier gauge steel. But for the price it's tough to argue. I hope this helps.

The unit consists of the leg press and the incline bench part. They can be separated from each other.

Hi Vanessa. Yes, I do use the bench for squats. On the rear of the crutches, there are two heights for the catches. I face in toward the bench when performing a squat. I also use the rear catches for calf raises, good mornings, and behind the neck press.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I got my regular stool and tried it out. Absolutely not!! That's NOT at all what happens when you use the Squatty. It made my feet be too close together. When I shifted my weight onto the stool, my bum was no longer over the bowl. Or I could just sit on the bowl with my feet awkwardly off the ground - which defeats the purpose of simulating a squat.

Correct. The leg, without the floor guards in the picture, folds under to yield an incline or decline bench. Mine has a carrying handle vice a strap so that it can be moved easily.
