can u do squats with it

you could use your weights and the bar that goes with it...but thats about it.

While it is in no way a squatting rack I actually do use it as one approaching it from the back and lifting the bar straight up on my shoulders. Keep in mind you have to be very careful when doing this as you'll need to be squared to the bar below it or you put a lot of torque on your back and could potentially faceplant.

Never tried. You'd have to do them from the back and lift it over the lip keeping the bar in place. You might not be able to stand directly under the bar because of the crossbar at the bottom of the bench. I think it would work

No, for a few reasons. Although the bar sits at 46 1/2" H, which is debatably low, you cannot turn the uprights around. Therefore you would have to lift the bar over the back of the uprights. To do squats, you would either have to back up to the bench or approach it face first. If you back up to it, the cross bar which holds the uprights will hit the back of your ankles, and the inclined bench will jab your back. If you go face first, the inclined bench would jab your chest as you try to get underneath the bar. I personally would not attempt to so squats with this bench. Thanks.

This machine is for flat bench work only. You'd need a tall rack for squats.

It can, but very awkward. It is waste of time with this bike I am sorry that I bought it because the seat is so hard and pain your buttock. I hope this was helpful. unable to exercise long. Only for 10 minutes.

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

yes u can use it for that, as long as u don't go over the wt limit (u + lifting wt) the bench has a 400-450 limit

No, it's your weight. You can use it and lift as much free weights as you can hold.

Not if you are in the correct posture...wide stance squat without leaning over with upper body....keep body in good technique and lower back will be unaffected.

It will. Its a great support for ypur joints, if you wanna do some heavy squats you can feel some relief using this product

The Leg press is similiar enough to a gym experience, certainly the exercise gets the muscle groups covered. The machine does not have a way to do a true squat that I have found...the range of motion for a leg press does not really feel like doing squats

No problem. Im working out with two guys 6'3""tall. Using it for squats, standing presses. Good deal for the price

It is really designed, so your feet only are on it raised, giving the squatting position.There is a video on youtube by manufacturer. Your weight wouldnt be an issue. Used correctly or even if somehow you choose to stand. But I would watch video, it works very easily as designed

It was actually for my girlfriend, but she squats almost 300 lbs in it with no trouble. If you are going over 405 or 500 I might recommend a leather one.

NO,this product is a padding that goes on the barbell to make it more comfortable when you squat.It is the same as wrapping a towel around the bar to make it softer.Make sure to Squat is fundamental.

Not if you have the correct stance, which is standing in a squat position with your knees bent and your weight back on your heels (like you're sitting in a chair).
