Not a lifter so cannot answer but it seems quite secure when I'm doing outside gardening

I use mine when lifting weights, but with my back I don't ever do anything very heavy.

Yes, I was recently using it on a bench without hooking it on. Once I sat on it, it still supported my back.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

I have not tried to use it during a workout. Based on the pressure that it exerts on my head, it probably is ok for rowing or a stationary bike, but anything requiring much head movement might be trouble.

No. This is just a pad. You place this pad around the bar in order to create a cushion when you perform squats or lunges, for example. That way, you avoid putting the steel bar directly on your back and you can perform the exercises a lot more comfortably.

I would probably not use it for running because it is meant for lifting aid.

You can use it, but you will have to use the 'assist' to tilt your body at more of an angle. So you would be keeping your legs straight and body straight but your body will be at more of a 45° angle. The only problem I see with this is that you are not working the same muscles. I guess you could put it on your ankle, make it really tight and keep your knees bent during the pull up. You would use your leg muscles a bit to properly benefit from the assist. As I have never tried this I do not know how it would work.Hope this helps.

You can. I don't typically because I don't want to damage the spine. But its doable

Mainly used for weightlifting exercises (squats, deadlifts) to support your back and abdomen. Some also use it during heavy lifting at work etc. for support as mentioned earlier.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

Yes, I use mine at the gym, but I recommend buying the silver and black colored ones because they have a more flexible cable than the bronze and black

I don't recommend this item for you if you do lift up by it because it is very dangerous. at least, you must have a extra weight bar.

Not if you are using it with your feet. However if you are doing it for upper body then yes.

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the question. Are you asking if you CAN? Or telling me you can? Can you please reask and reword your question? BTW i would NOT recommend this bench unless you are using it for very light exercising. It is very unsturdy when you begin to use heavy weights for exercising.

yes, if you have a strong back. I have a stack machine with squat assist that works perfectly for me. (My back isn't the greatest so soon after kids yet) with free weights its easy to get out of form. Arch your back once, improperly and you'll be seeking a chiropractor (believe me, I've been there unfortunately : ( ) I only use this set on my bench when I rotate exercises so I don't plateau out.

I guess if your only doing light weights and a few times while working out then maybe not. For me however I prefer to not pull a back muscle.
