Will I be able to use a 5 foot olympic barbell in between these?

Yes you can, they are seperate so you can move them although most use the standard 7' barbell. The feet shouldn't get in your way. Still using them and like them so far.

One of the benefits of the Valor Fitness BD-9 is the fact that you can move them where you need them to go, so you will be able to use a 5 ft Olympic barbell in between them.

Yes, because you can move them closer together or farther apart. You won't have a ton of space between them though - a longer bar will allow wider grip placements and such.

Olympic weights have a larger center hole (2"), and standard weights have a smaller center hole (1"), so standard weights will not fit, sorry because this bar is great.

Yes. The actual heating elements do not extend all the way to the end of the grip. They can be cut about 1 cm from the ends of the grips to fit bars of various lengths. You should be able to alter them to fit bar weights with no problems.

I don't think so, unless you have another strap to help attach it to the barbell.

The leg developer will be using the 2" Olympic sized plates. This bench does not come with a bar so that would depend on the user and which bar they purchase.Thank you.

No unfortunately you are going to have to buy 2 racks I have one for Olympic and one for standard this standard couldn't handle that type of weight and the 35's are too tall for that rack

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.

I have a 7ft. 2" olympic bar and it works great. I have 315 lbs. with it also.

The Rack for the bar is about 46 inches or just under 4 feet apart. I use a 7 foot bar. I'm not sure where the weight dividers are on the 6 foot bar, but that would be the big question. In other words, as long as the skinny part of the bar where you grab with your hands extends 4 ft, you should be good.

Yep, it's more than wide enough for an olympic barbell. I use it for benchpress all the time. I wish the pins went a little lower though. I usually remove them. With the pins removed the white safety bars are 22.5" high. With my bench that is the perfect height that will catch the bar if I fail, but still allow me to touch my chest with the bar on normal reps. I have an incline bench that is a tad shorter than it should be when set to flat though. The pins at the lowest point are about 26.25" high for what it's worth.

the platforms were the hardest to even out. Mine aren't completely level either, but I ended up having to loosen them up to adjust them and hold them in place as well while tightening. As long as the straps that hold the original base on is tight, you won't need to worry about the half inch, the dumbbells will lock in and hold just fine.

Yes, but they will not be tight on the bar. Might be able to wrap a towel around bar to increase diameter enough to make tight

I have a 7-foot Olympic bar and I believe it was designed only for that -- I don't think you can use a 6-foot bar on it. For sure not a 5-foot bar.

The olympic sleeves are quite long 13" each side. If you use 45lbs narrow powerlifting plates, you could get 10 on each side, for a total weight of 900lbs. Because of the 3:1 lever arm, the force on your knees would be 2700lbs. I doubt the machine would hold up to this, but neither would your calves :-)

This will fit a 6 foot Olympic bar, but without hardly any room for error to the left or right when re-racking. I use a 7 foot Olympic bar and there's much more room.

No. These are not Olympic sized, they have 1 inch holes and fit 1 inch dumbells.

I'm very interested in this set as I used to lift weights years ago but I may not be as dedicated as I once was so I can't see springing for an Olympic bar that will cost just about half of what the entire setup cost. To those who checked out Gold's Gym website and viewed the pdf manual, it clearly says that you have a choice of making the squat rack fit shorter and Olympic bars. I just wanted to be as sure as possible before I made this purchase. I just may go ahead and get this but order the 7' standard bar.Thanks for all your input with my questions.
