To be honest it works good as dips, I even you it with my clients that weighs 360 now his down 295 but the dips arms sometimes move has you come down other then that it works fine!

Weight capacity I believe is 250 lbs. I weigh 195 and add an extra 40 lbs. and it's standing up to it so far, about 5 months.

Mine wobbles / shakes if I use any of the three upper positions for dips. It is sturdy if I use the top lower position. With that I can do dips with my feet back and my knees are just above ground level at the bottom - so this wouldn't work with a belt/hanging weight. But fine with a vest. I am 185 and have had up to 45 pounds in a weight vest in it.

It won't tip while doing dips. I have tried it once for fun, and I'm 6'1" 225#.

I actually do dips using mine. Just set my Olympic bar across the stand and do my dips over the bar. I have had no issues regarding it. I am a lighter individual so if you may have a different experience depending on your height/weight.

I'm not sure of the exact specs but I'm about 200lbs and this box doesn't even flex when I'm jumping on it. It has internal supports and is built like a tank so 220lbs doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

Yes. I have that same rack and those same bars which I use for dips and they're awesome! There's a locking screw on the bars for extra stability but I don't bother because it's just extra time and hassle. There's some wobble without screwing them in but once you're doing dips you don't notice it at all since you're pushing down on the bars which stabilizes them anyway. I've also had guys around 220lbs+ doing dips on them with no worries at all. I would also recommend setting them to the inside of the rack as the rack is very light so as to prevent any chances of tipping over. And when doing dips I would do them facing the other side of the rack because depending on how high you set the bars and how tall you are, you don't want to take the chance of bumping your head into the crossbeam if you can't keep from going straight up and down due to how short the rack is.

Hi really couldn't tell you the capacity, sturdier then the first one I bought, had to ship that one back. For the money this one meets my needs, I do Push ups ,bar dips, militayry press sitting with 25 lbs and bench press with 35 lbs.

I would not recommend doing flips on this bar. While sturdy enough to hold about 50 pounds, the flipping motion could cause it to topple. I recommend keeping at least one foot on the ground at all times.

I don't know, you would have to ask the manufacturer. I started using it when I was 215lbs, now I'm at 180lbs. No problems.

well I've exceeded 300lbs (bodyweight + dip belt with weights) and its very sturdy... 3000 may be a stetch... but I'd be comfortable with any weight under 4 digits

yes...I use a weighted dip belt and have no problems...I have to adjust the chain shorter otherwise the weight might touch the floor. if you go really low on your dips then yes, the weight will hit the ground but by adjusting chain, you should have no problems. I'm 6'2 and don't run into any issues. I've owned this stand for a few years now.

I am not sure what the "official" weight capacity is but my husband (who weighs about 275 lbs) jumps on it with our kids (who weigh @ 85 and 55 lbs each) and it has held up fine.

1. Yeah, it is stable enough for dips.2. It's not terribly thick, but I have never experienced any discomfort.3. Don't worry, you won't fall off. However, you will notice it taking slightly more effort to stabilize your body in a flat chest press, and sometimes doing flies you will feel your shoulder blades hitting the edge of the pad.

I was 275 and 6'3'' before I started to work out a lot. The rack never even moved around or buckled an inch. It is a solid piece of equipment. I use it 4 to 5 days a week and dips are fine. When I want to go extra deep in a dip, I lean forward.

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

Per the manufacturers data it will handle 350 lbs. When I got it I used it to be sure it worked properly, and it lifted me at 285 lbs without any trouble. Hope this helps, I still feel that this is a very good product for the cost.

This is very easy to assemble and lightweight. However, I never disassemble it for use as a portable dip stand. It is easier for me to leave it assembled in the room I workout. I still imagine it is easy enough to take apart to carry along then reassemble. It is stable as long as you have it on a level floor and very sturdy. I believe it has a weight limit, but no one here using it is that heavy. The handle bars are comfortable enough and it does the job it was was intended for.
