can you use that rack to do incline bench press?

Yes absolutely. In fact Im doing incline this week. I wouldn't trade this bench at all and couldn't be happier with it!
851093
Yes you can. Great peice of equipment for the price. I bout the incline decline press to go with it.

This rack is an outstanding investment. Great for bench/ incline bench/ decline bench/ and squats. It's sturdy and handles big weight. Highly recommend!

Possible but would be challenging. Have done them occasionally but very carefully

Yes you can, all you need is a bench that will incline. I use mine for this all the time.

If you already have a bench and a barbell the hooks rest on the barbell bar. Without a bar to rest on it defeats the purpose they were designed for. I use my 7' barbell bar on my squat rack and adjust the height of the bar to how I need the bench positioned (decline, flat or incline). They work great and make dumbell bench pressing as easy as any barbell bench press.

The bench declines to the same but opposite degree of the incline. Hope this helps!!

The bench can be adjusted. It can be declined for any decline an workout. It can be positioned for incline bench press and can be upright for seated OH Press. The bench however does not lie flat, this is a big disappointment as I wanted a flat/ incline/ decline bench. It is very sturdy but would not recommend using it outside, the bolts were the first thing to rust. I am a personal trainer and use the bench for my classes, great beginners bench but if you are an experienced weight lifter definitely invest in a bench that can take up to 600 pounds. This bench holds up to 300 lbs including person and weight. Hope this helps. The bench can be adjusted. It can be declined for any decline an workout.

The vertices bars on the back are plate holders. No the rack does not assist with dead lifts. The rack can be used for bench presses if you use a utility bench.

Unless your bench is less than ten inche wide, you should have not problem. Mine is 16-inches wide. That's what is so neat about this set. You can do squats or bench presses simply by moving the arms up or down in the holes, which are about four inches apart. The arms are strong enough so that you can place a barbell on the, load on the plates, and roll the bar back against the stanchions (sp?). Then when you lie down on the bench, you roll the bar forward until it reaches the lip stops at the ends of the arms. This is a great buy, especially if you are cramped for space. Enjoy!

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there is a wide enough span for this to be stable on an incline. Even on a level surface I still make sure I put a heavy weight on it, just to be safe!

Not really no, the uprights are too far apart cuz it is meant for a 7-ft (full Olympic size) barbell. If you used a 6-ft you would have to rest the weight-holding part in the rack, which would be very tricky and probably dangerous with weights on the bar.

Yes. I combine exercises. I put my weight on the floor an arm's length away. While in the down position, I keep my arms straight and lift the weight above my chest. I then do several presses, after which I do a sit-up while still hiding the weight close to my chest. Alternatively, I do the sit-up first and then press the weight when I am in the top position. Finally, in half sit-up position I shift the weight from side to side (dumbbell or kettle bell). Pure torture. Note that there is no rack on which to rest the weight, as with a bench.

You can but how safe it is depends on you mostly. If you weigh more than the average user it will probably sway so just weigh down the rack and you'll be fine. You can do a muscle up if you have a high enough ceiling or put it outside. Again if you do kipping motion you might want to lay it down.

Theoretically you could, as their are hamstring pads where you could latch onto and set the bench at a decline. Now, is that the bench's actual purpose? No, but you make use of what you have.

I don't think so - it would be a different item. (It is a nice bench with both incline & decline capabilities.)

This machine is for flat bench work only. You'd need a tall rack for squats.

No you can't, but the tilt is slight. It needs to be a little tilted, so that the gear doesn't fall forward. This is a great rack

Yes. I have that same rack and those same bars which I use for dips and they're awesome! There's a locking screw on the bars for extra stability but I don't bother because it's just extra time and hassle. There's some wobble without screwing them in but once you're doing dips you don't notice it at all since you're pushing down on the bars which stabilizes them anyway. I've also had guys around 220lbs+ doing dips on them with no worries at all. I would also recommend setting them to the inside of the rack as the rack is very light so as to prevent any chances of tipping over. And when doing dips I would do them facing the other side of the rack because depending on how high you set the bars and how tall you are, you don't want to take the chance of bumping your head into the crossbeam if you can't keep from going straight up and down due to how short the rack is.

Not familiar with that bench but I use mine with a PFID 125X flat, incline, decline. Works fine but I would recommend bolting it to the floor or putting about 100 lbs on it to make it more stable.

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.
