If I buy the 52.5 lb set will the bars hold up to 100 or are they to short?

The 52lb and 100lb set use the same size bar, as with anything else i would double check with the supplier. I have the 100lb set and they come with 8-10lb plates per bar, it looks like the 52.5 is 8-5lb plates and will fit on the same bar.

Look up the 102.5-LB set and check the length of the bars, then compare that to the length of the bars listed on the 52.5-LB set.

They seem quite sturdy and I am happy with the stools. However, no one in my family weighs more than 200 so I cannot give an opinion on how they would hold up under heavier weights

100 lb barbell sets are pretty common. If you want more plates you can buy them at almost any department store.

I've loaded them up plenty of times with my Iron Master quick lock dumbbells with the 120lb add on kit and they're just fine. I'm not strong enough for 150 :).

The pair can hold 100lbs. They are great quality though. Only thing I wish is that they had a locking feature when extended

The full extension of the stools is 34" high--my bar is 43" high and my legs are nearly touching the bar--I think that these stools would actually work better for you with your bar being 5" taller than mine, you could always put some kind of build-up under the stools if they bother you. I don't think you are going to find any taller stools, ant taller and these wouldn't be very safe to sit on. good luck--I give them 2 thumbs up!

This is a good question. I thought it was a result of the additional weight of the included bars. But I have this set and found the bars to be 2.6 lbs and 11.8 lbs. So the total weight of the included bars is 17 lbs. This brings the total weight of the set to 102 lbs. Seems like they should have included 2 additional 5 lb weights at least. I will say though, it is a very good set. I would buy this set again and will purchase additional weights like these in the future.

I don't have many but the bar weighs 50 lbs and it can hold upto 750lbs. I think using my limited amount of plates that 4 or 5 plates per side would be easy for it. I have a picture of my plates on @whey2muscle twitter page.

I think most bars that hold weight on each end are 35lbs. I didnt weigh it. Just a suggestion, get the weight set w it, n u can change the weights

Seems like the shorter bars are what make the difference. Grips don't play a part in that. These are great by the way.

They are rated for 350 lb, and what I am lifting is about 250 lb. I would not try lifting over the rated 350 lb.

The long bar is solid steel so it can hold far more that the 110# sets with the hollow tube bars. My guess would be 175# safely, however it may go heavier.

Absolutely, but the bars are only appx 13.5" long and there are only 3 bars.

They'll fit the bar but not sure about the space to mount them. Those pit bikes sometimes have cramped bars.

I am 190 lbs. and have bounced on these bars to test the strength and did not have any issues. I have a few friends pushing 300lbs., but I do not think they have tried stepping on these when they get in the truck.

I am not sure what it is rated to hold. The most I have put on is 275 lbs. I had the arms raised to a squat height. It's a nice piece of equipment for the price but don't expect gym quality. Any weight over 225 and racking the bar can become tricky as the base is very light and the whole rack tends to tilt or even slide. At times I have put 45 lb dumbbells over the base legs to give it more stability.

Each bar is 5 feet. I have bought cheaper versions before and they always collapse after a while. This one has held up and it is pretty sturdy. I'd recommend.
