Can this be used alone, without being attached to any bench press?

No it is designed to be attached to the bench. I had one that was standalone before that had a stand and it was awkward and hard to transport in car so I like this better.

Well i do dumbell presses at 60lbs/side....but doesnt feel safe, so i just do it on my flat bench...i dont really recommend, goin over250lbs, theres only 3 nuts n bolts keeping the bench from breaking.

Yes it can be used without the enclosure, and the trampoline is made heavy duty, good quality though out

Yes, the primary bar has hooks welded onto both ends at the front. The frame has several slots built in every few inches vertically that the hooks can rest in if needed. So - when you unrack the bar you rotate it back towards you an inch or so to begin the exercise. This allows the bar to travel without restriction. However, if you hit a sticking point where you are struggling with the weight you can simply rotate the bar forward an inch or so and it will catch a slot to support it. Unracking and racking the bar is done with a simple twist of the wrist. The beauty of this design is that you can work out by yourself while still handling weight that will push you. Safety note - nothing can replace an actual person spotting you while working out. However, if you choose to work out by yourself (by necessity or preference) this machine - using basic common sense - will allow you to get in a good workout without assistance. After reading your question again - there are also two stoppers with hooks that you can place into any of the slots to stop the travel of the bar - these work great for partial reps and/or if you want to be even more safe you could put the stoppers (for one example) a few inches above your chest for benching and if you were to reach total muscle failure you could still "wiggle out" from beneath the bar. By the way - I've now had this machine for over a year and it still works flawlessly. I don't have a single complaint.

No. It is technically perpendicular to the seat, which is always at an angle up. This makes it nearly impossible to get any kind of leverage while benching or using the bench at the parallel position. Very impractical overall.

this seat comes with it's own rack which can be used without the seat. I would not recommend using any other rack with the seat as the safety mechanism may not be compatible.

Yes, if you have some strong metal brackets. This is a wonderful, well built bench and is heavy, at least it is heavy for me. Get some long, strong screws to use in it and you will probably have to use a metal drill bit. Good luck.

Don't understand your question. It seems incomplete. The bench can be separated and detached from the actual leg press. It declines and inclines a couple of positions. The unit works very well and is built very well. Please clarify your question.

It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's a few inches of gap. It does not affect the bench. I will say this. It is not commercial grade gym quality bench. It can get a little wobbly when using heavy weight. I bench 225. It's great for dumbbells and the preacher curl is a huge plus but again a little wobbly with heavy weight. I find this bench to be one if best out there.

No, you can't use it by yourself. And I don't recommend it. The handles vibrate so much it is hard to hold, even for a strong person. I sent mine back.

I think it would feel odd and be difficult to achieve a full range of motion push up without the rotation. If you really prefer not to have rotation you can use free weights in place of the perfect pushup.

You can. .either use it alone or with another stabilizer depending upon what material you are working with

without using a tape measure it will be plenty high enough for anyone to comfortably perform squats. this bar is not in a position to use for the military press (shoulder press) but can be used for bench (both incline and flat). Should also note: This set up is not for advanced users. If your frequently putting more than 300 lbs. on the bar while using this bench you will start to question the construction. Other than that its a nice multi-use platform for an affordable price.

So long as you take the weights out, yes. Though given the amount of Velcro and mesh, it's best to do this by hand and let it air dry.

If you already have a bench and a barbell the hooks rest on the barbell bar. Without a bar to rest on it defeats the purpose they were designed for. I use my 7' barbell bar on my squat rack and adjust the height of the bar to how I need the bench positioned (decline, flat or incline). They work great and make dumbell bench pressing as easy as any barbell bench press.

yes you can, obviously not as responsive without the plastic on. but if you're working out anyway... there wont be much clicking.

Yes, you just take off the bar that lies under then bench completely and it will decline and lay on the lower support beam. It also has 2 different incline position as well as a flat position.
