I see some racks on amazon dont accomodate taller people, how high is the highest squat setting/bar postion.

The x mark multi press rack is 5ft. 8-1/2 and 5ft. 9 inches tall or high and the safety pin holes for the safety arms for spotting are 5ft. 6 inches or almost 5ft. 7 inches high. Tall people over 6ft. tall shouldn`t have a problem doing squats or bench presses with this rack because they can still adjust to the size of the x mark multi press rack.

I use a standard pneumatic barstool which worked great at both heights for me (currently w/ leg extensions). I like slightly different heights for different angles. It's just more flexible when getting the exact position you want.

The following was posted by someone else under the title "SCHWINN ELLIPTICAL FOOT HEIGHT". I have not confirmed it, but if it is true, it would seem that a seven foot ceiling would be high enough. If you live near a place that sells them and has them in stock (hard to find, I know) maybe you can find one and just measure it. ================================================================== M. A. Garver says: The pedal is approximately 15 inches off the floor at the highest point, but I think what you really need to know is the height from the floor at it's lowest point (8 inches) because when your foot is at the high point, that knee is bent so it's not like it's putting your head 15 inches closer to the ceiling, which I think is what you're really trying to figure out, right? Standing on the 430 you're going to be 8-9 inches taller than you are standing on the floor. Hope this helps!

Bench (where you lay down) 21", barbell rest 46" high. I am 5'5" and I don't touch the floor when I'm doing bench presses, but that could be resolved with a couple of pieces of wood or whatever you have to solve that problem. For the price this is a good workout bench. Very well made. I would recommend it. Hope this helps. Have a good day Taryn.

While it is in no way a squatting rack I actually do use it as one approaching it from the back and lifting the bar straight up on my shoulders. Keep in mind you have to be very careful when doing this as you'll need to be squared to the bar below it or you put a lot of torque on your back and could potentially faceplant.

I'm am 5'10" and it works perfectly for me and will only be accessible for people 5'7" and above. I tested this for you by getting my younger sister to stand at the lowest setting the bar can go. She is 5'4" and is about 3 inches to short to even having her back touch the bar. No you will not be able to use this at 5'3" unless you get an elevated platform you can stand on when attempting to access the weight in squats. Sorry about this bad news but hopefully this gives you insight on this bench.

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!!

You won't be able to do an overhead press inside (I'm 5'9" and would only be able to get the bar about 3/4 - 4/5 of the way up before hitting the top support). It's close, you might be able to do an overhead squat since your arms are more spread out, but that'll more so depend on how wide your grip is on those.

You need a bar with at least 43 - 44" clearance for the bar supports; after that, length is limited by floor space in whatever room you have the bench, and other, for instance, cardio equipment. My bar is 72" total.

My butt presently rests 28" off the floor and my kitchen bar is 40" high. Perfect, FYI.

Im 5'11" and it works fine for me. I would think if you are over 6 foot 4 you are going to want a taller rack.

This rack is perfect for you. There are two post that are around 20 '' high so go for it you will not regret. All my friends got one after seing mine. Claude

We bought regular bar-height stools. NOT the kitchen counter height ones. It's a GREAT bar, but REALLY (!) heavy. Get a lot of friends to help you move it in!

Honestly I didn't like the commercial bench I found on Amazon. I went to eBay and found a used flat/incline bench by cybex. Pretty stout bench. Then I found a nice used decline bench by precor on a fitness website that sells equipment from gyms that discard old equipment. Also in nice condition. Both worth great for what I need. This squat rack is ok and works. But if I had to do it all over again I would look for a small used one from a gym that is selling off its professional equipment. My two cents

6' will place you very close to the top. As for position holding straight out of the box, my answer would be no. The bar is not knurled, so unless you put in extra effort in either pinning or using Lok-tight, it will most likely slip. I went with taking mine off after the first use.

That in my opinion would be too much for this squat rack, I think 330 pounds would be it, or maybe 400 pounds. I never noticed any weight maximum listed anywhere. I could be wrong though and it is built very well. I am very happy with it!

I measured 85 3/4". Obviously you need another 12+" above that to use the chin-up bar without smashing your head into the ceiling. For some reason I didn't have that foresight when I built mine in my 87" high basement. Dohhh. So my first workout on this was carrying it out of the basement. Otherwise this is a nice sturdy rack.
