Is the rack stable enough for pullups and toes to bar? Thanks!

It's stable enough for strict pull-ups - a little shaky on kipping pull-ups. I've tried toes-to-bar a few times. Again, if you have a lot of kip/backswing in your t2b, then it'll feel a little shaky.

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

The squat bar is sturdy enough for 405 maybe more but I don't need to go any heavier. What I did was purchase and olympic bar as well.

The rack is very sturdy and well-made. As long as you balance the load, you should be OK. I recommend the rack and would buy again if I had the need.

Each shelf snaps onto a bar (there are three bars going across each side), so I would say no. Also there is no need for added stability - it seems very sturdy.

It is very stable but I cant speak for a competitive gymnast. Check out the videos on the website, and ask your coach.

With the legs out all the way (braces parallel to the floor), it's very stable. What I try to do is to place the base of the stand so that two legs face the dance floor and one faces away, so that it presents a smaller profile and a leg isn't directly protruding in a manner that someone could trip on it. It will also help if you keep the load well balanced, hang heavier fixtures toward the inside, and turn the t-bar so that it isn't directly over any of the legs but more straddling them. Kind of hard to explain in text but I hope you get the point.

No, even at the lowest point this rack isnt ideal for decline. No regrets whatsoever, I use it 3 times per week primarily for squats and regular benching. Its sturdy, strong and versatile.

It sits far enough for pull ups with room for swaying. You won't be able to do any kipping pull ups, and with your height exercises like knees to elbow and toes to bar may be out of the question. I bought the bar mainly for pull ups and ability to do suspension type training with a little ring work. I mounted the bar a couple inches of max reach, so I jump up a little. When mounted properly I've never experienced any wiggle, sway, or give from the anchor. With that said, buy your own lag bolts. They break!

No, the rack is not talk enough. If u would raise the rack on something it would work.

It's pretty stable. Only movement i get is when i rerack a heavy weight, but only if you really slam it against the rack.

the bottom bar gives the product enough stability unless you plan to put heavy objects on the stand. I just use it for towels and a few decorative items on the top shelf and it is stable. Any attachments would be unattractive in my opinon.

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

Wow... the inaccurate answers continue to amaze me... I am 6'2" and weigh just 220lbs. I use this pull-up bar all the time in my loft, and it's completely fine and stable. It "wobbles" a negligible amount--but if you can mentally get past that, it simply will not collapse or break. But you MUST get the upgraded pull-up bar with the stabilizer bar. That's the one I have. I'm not sure if they sell that on amazon, or if you need to go to their website. It's around $400--at least it was when i bought it over a year ago, with the storage bag designed for it. Awesome piece of equipment. And I do NOT use sandbags on it. I do put a dumbbell on opposing legs on each side of it when I do hanging leg raises on it. I have a pair of Ab Straps (search amazon for em--i have a pair made by Veleo, and they cost $27 with prime shipping) that hook over the bar with metal clips and they work great.

Very stable for my lifting, benching 275 and squatting over 300. I love this rack for home use.

No, it's very stable. I do assisted pull ups with a band at 280 lbs and it doesn't even wabble. Hope this helps.

No, unless you're less than about 60lbs. It is far too unstable. Even casting makes the screws connecting the bar to the elbow joints loosen and eventually fall out, leaving the holes stripped. Used in a rec gym, these bars lasted only about 6 months.
