If that involves swinging from it, no. Its basically good for warming up, plies, stretches etc.

No, I don't think it's sturdy enough. It's really very light, and must remain perfectly balanced in order to be truly stable.

Hmmm...only if it was bolted to the ground, so it didn't tip when she is on it....You could ask the supplier.

Yes, my younger son does his gymnastic practice every day on this gymnastic /ballet barre and his weight is about 52 pounds.My daughter's ballet dance practice (barre exercises) goes well too. I hope this information helps you. - Rose (Yingsi LUO)

It will flex, but does not damage the bar. I use it for 315 bench, 405 squat, and 455 deadlift. In my opinion 600lbs would probably be too much flex for squats, meaning it will do a little up and down wobble with such weight. I don't do anything at 600lbs, and love the bar. Hope that helps.

I would say no. It isn't tall enough to hang from or do anything gymnastics like. The legs aren't long enough and it would tip over if you put too much weight sideways on it. It's more for stretching and keeping balance. It's nice though : ) Currently using it for some workout videos.

Yes, the dumbbell bar would hold. It would probably consist of 4 ten pound plates on each side with the remaining plates and bar and collars adding up to 100 pounds.

I'm not sure about 60lbs but I would definitely be sure to NOT put any more weight on it! Good luck!!!

I don't see why not. She should've able to stand on it without feeling cramped.

You can yes, going off of memory you should be able to put 6 10 lb weights on each side to bring it up to 120lbs per bar.

There are no add on weight to my knowledge. The bar is pretty stiff so there is more resistance than you think. It's actually too difficult to do some exercises, like rehabbing a shoulder or working on rotator cuffs.

The bar I bought takes 1" plates, not Olympic-style plates. I have a pair of 50s I keep on mine, and it could fit 8 or 10 on a side, though I don't know if the bar itself could handle that much weight. I've had low 300s on mine (I'm 68, my heavy days are over) and everything was fine.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

I loaned mine to my elderly neighbor and she could not lift it. I really like it for myself because you canset the resistance. I believe you would have difficulty with any unit that is too light to hold its place on the flooring. I believe your mother would NOT be able to move the unit

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.

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.

If you need something to support you weight you should install a handicapped grab bar. I find this to be well built but I doubt that it is designed to support a persons body weight.

I haven't exceeded 30#, but the bar is definitely solid enough to handle more weight. The bar's center is about 8" above the floor at the lowest point.

It's definitely slow enough for her. But if she's going to hold on to the hand bar, just know it's a little wobbly/shakey. It's not bad just don't want her to think she's losing stability.
