Any feedback for people over 6ft tall? Interested in using the rack for back squats, the 56 in height is worrying me.

It only goes up to 4 .6 feet in height, which is very short but then it is not built for heavy squats. I'm 5'5" and it is too short for me....and won't hold up under the weight I normally use as 315 is only my third warm up set.... If you are going heavier, get a better and more expensive rack. There is no way anyone who is over 6' could use it. They'd have to take the bar from the bottom position and that would no work with heavy weight.

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.

No problem. Im working out with two guys 6'3""tall. Using it for squats, standing presses. Good deal for the price

I'm 6'7. I didnt have any issues using this rack. I did have to use the 2nd or 3rd highest setting ,since that felt more secure. (i didn't trust the highest setting for heavier weight, but i never tested it either) Either way, I never had an issue with this rack at my height. I did sell it for a full cage I bought on this site however.

Hilarious that a guy 5'9" tall says its too short. Ha ha! One of the guys im working out with is a very large ( 6'3", 250lb. ) ex- professional baseball player and hes building mass like never before using it in my home gym.

Stability is bad as i said in my review i weight about 290 and press close to 250lbs on this bench and its scary i've bent the bar that supports your back and it also makes loud popping noise its fine if you are doing 225 and under but once u go up in the weight and try to max it becomes unstable. Still a very nice useful machine and the squat rack works for other things!!

Being 6'4", I have to slide either up or down on the bench to avoid hitting the bar. It took a few reps to figure out what worked best for the amount of weight I was using, but overall it works just fine. I am still quite pleased with my purchase and am looking to add on to it shortly!

Good bike but for 6'3" I'd suggest trying before buying. I don't think weight will be an issue

For his height it will work fine, a friend of mine who is 6'1 has had no troubles with it, however, if he plans on lifting much heavier than 300ish pounds I wouldn't suggest it as it starts to become unstable.

I sincerely doubt it; I am 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, and it barely fits for me. Much smaller than I had thought it would be. It's solid, but I just don't think 300 pounds would fit comfortably (unless it's all in your shoulders, in which case you don't need tom lift any more weights, right?).

I actually measured 63 3/8" from floor to the top of the J-hook in highest hole which is the height the bar would be. I'm not sure what the 59 1/4" is unless they changed the design. Be aware though that at the highest setting of 63 1/4" there is only 4 1/4" between the J hook and the top bar of the rack itself. It would be difficult to maneuver the bar in and out of a squat at that setting.

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.

At 5'8" I was able to do dumbbell flys with a barbell on the rack with weight plates on it. With 50lb weight plates I had to scoot down a bit, but with anything less I had no problem. My buddy at 6'2" could not and we had to take the barbell off the rack. If you are shorter or have short arms you should be good to go, if not, you may want to look for something else if you don't want to always be moving plates.

It was actually for my girlfriend, but she squats almost 300 lbs in it with no trouble. If you are going over 405 or 500 I might recommend a leather one.

7' bar for sure. A 6' bar won't reach. It's a great/sturdy rack. I use it for bench/shoulder/squats and plate storage. Definitely worth the money.

well i put up 405 pounds and it held up perfectly. but i do recommend that you anchor bolt the squat rack, because every time i slam the weights on the squat, it tends to move. if its against a hard sturdy wall then your good but if you have it out side, where there is no wall, then anchoring will be the best idea. i hope i answered your question.

Wow , I should have such problems!!! Ha! I am 5'3" so I am probably not the right person to give you advice, however, I believe the board is 6'? So with that in mind it should be okay for you? I love the board because I'm in an apartment that is carpeted, trying to be stable on carpet was a challenge, this board makes working out doable, plus it's easy to store. I hope someone w/more height gives you answers that I can't . Until then I hope this is some help. Namaste

I'm honestly not sure how much weight the squat rack can handle. It holds up 300lbs. with no problem.

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.

Ok. I'm confused. Why are half of you saying the distance between the collar is 52 1/4 and the others saying 47 1/4. I have a squat rack that takes a minimum of 51". I'd hate to deal with having to send this back. Can someone confirm that this is the bar we're referring to - 6' Olympic Black Bar w/ Chrome Sleeve OB-72UL

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people
