I'd like to be inverted 180 degrees and have room to do the exercises without bumping into the table. Does this locking model allow for that???

Yes it dose have enough room for working out an wouldn't get one without a locking. An wouldn't recomend any other inverion table over this one an for that price! Use it every day an its magic how u feel after just a few uses!

If I understand the question, the answer is 'no'. Too be clear of the table you would have to invert beyond 180 degrees which this machine does not. You can do situps and twists but your back will have some contact with the table. Other than that, the machine is well made and sturdy and I like the locking system which is easy to control and the feet constraints are comfortable.Dan.

yes. you can invert 180 and lock in position. your exercises wont take you out of the perimeter of the footprint of the unit. it is stable. Mike Hart, satisfied customer.

Yes the locking feature works well. Depending on the angle and weight it may be a little difficult to unlock. I really like the machine. I'm 200 lbs and it works well and it handles me doing inverted sit ups.

I've not tried to lock mine and haven't gotten fully inverted yet. Might want to email the company, they are very responsive.

Yes, it swivels 180 degrees, so you can use it in either orientation.FYI, indoor use only.

Once you have raised both your hands to move into position, the inversion table does allow you to hang freely by the ankles. To raise yourself back upright, your have to utilize the arm supports to pull yourself up. I hope this helps.

I'm 220#'s and it will do this, complete upside down, for me. I don't use that position very often but it is there. Mike C.

First I believe anyone wanting to use this or any inversion table should consider their medical needs. I would begin by Google searching health warnings for using an inversion table, for example there may be warnings for those with high blood pressure. With that said and before I explain any further you might like to know that there is a safety strap that clips to the table. This strap prevents the table from going fully inverted. To control how quickly you invert you slowly raise your arms up over your head, one at a time. To return to upright you reverse that movement bringing your arms back to your side or the handles at your hip level. The instructions then state that the best way to return to upright is to bend your knees rather than lifting your head. Bending your knees slowly lifts your body to the upright starting position.

I thought she meant for the inversion table. No idea for this. I think the screws might come out on somebody big. Unless you have already gotten into inversion. I recommend beginning with inversion table. Getting upside down on this on your own can be pain and very awkward if you have not used to being upside down.

Yes the table does allow you to totally invert. It is adjustable with a bar for your angle. When you take the adjustable bat completely out you can be totally upside down.

I would not hang upside down from this thing. Not ever. I have a power rack that I do pull ups from, so I only use this for knee raises and dips.

When fully inverted it clicks into place and I can do sit ups in it. Theres also a strap but I don't really think it "LOCKS" solid , just kind of clicks into an inverted position. Email me at ggolds5@aol.com. Ill tell you more.

I would have to say no. If you look at the example pic in the add you can kind of see the soft S shape. Reversing it does not look like it is right. JMHOSecondly, I am not entirely sure how the arm extensions would hold position of slide being upside down. I think you are best checking with the manufactured. The unit is really well made and definitely worth the effort if it can operate the way you want.

There is an adjustable belt under the body plate which we kept moving until our head stayed on the table as it was inverted. Also have you tried moving the height pin located on the side of the body plate? I know what you mean because my son is tall and his head hangs over the top when he is inverted. He tried to adjust it but had no luck. When he readjusted to almost 6 ft he could invert at all. Sorry, that's all I have. Good Luck!

I have used mine for years . and use as needed. I also use my inversion table , . they due stretch your back, but not the same way . so it may help, but it may not! That depends on what your goal is . Good Luck !

Yes, you can turn them any way you like. I've found myself having unintentionally rotated the weights switching between exercises to the point the logo (on top) was completely upside down. There was no change in the plate positioning, weight distribution, grip, etc. I've had (and very actively) used these for six months now and they are phenomenal.

I have never felt unsafe regarding how tightly my feet were locked in. Cups in the back and pads in the front. Make sure you are balanced properly with height adjustment. I always wear shoes for comfort. I only invert to about 50 degrees. Don't think you have to hang completely vertically to ease back pain. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

No way to lock, your body is the control ! It is super easy! Put your arms up to invert do it slowly and cross your arms around your chest area to go back to stand up! Super easy
