It fits 5 standard size plates on each side. Since its a heavier bar its about 505 lbs. Love it, but if you need more weight Gopher Perfeomance has one that holds up to 1000lbs.

The Hex bar can hold up to 450 lbs of Olympic plates or 540 lbs of the skinnier plates or bumper plates.

Each weight plate bar is 9 3/4 in. length. Measure the width of you 45# plates divide this into the length and there is your number for each side. Don't forget to subtract the length of your stop collar from the 9 3/4 in.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

The bar I bought takes 1" plates, not Olympic-style plates. I have a pair of 50s I keep on mine, and it could fit 8 or 10 on a side, though I don't know if the bar itself could handle that much weight. I've had low 300s on mine (I'm 68, my heavy days are over) and everything was fine.

You could use standard plates you'd need at least a 7ft bar for this bench tho. The leg extension can use both standard and olympic size weights has a plastic sleeve that can be removed.A 6 ft bar would not leave you much room to increase weight on the bar.

I don't know the official weight limit. I was 260 at my highest and was using the bar with no problem.

6 3/4 inches. Thinner and taller plates are recommended for this kind of bar - as you'll be able to fit more on the ends, and will make exercises like dead lifts easier because they'll allow the bar to reach higher from the ground.

I've put 150lbs. It seem to be fine to me. If you plan to put more then that I would get an Olympic bar. The diameter of the bar is bigger for a better grip.

depends on what kind of barbell you have. the thing on the front that you use for leg curls etc fits 1" plates. if you can afford it, buy a proper power cage and bench. this one is pretty wobbly. i had to build wood supports to keep the bench stable when pressing.

The 300lbs is for the total gym itself so nothing fails during use to avoid injury. Bar doesn't have a ton of room on each side for plates. You can fit a decent amount though.

The squat rack uses 11 gauge steel in it's construction, so it should be able to take a severe beating. XMark Fitness puts the maximum load capacity at 850lbs, though many 11-gauge squat racks can take a 1000lb beating.

The bar will support approx. 45 lbs and more, depending on the individuals.

Hey Aaron, The bar is around 30 lbs. (80 lbs. of plates + 30 lb. bar = 110-lb. weight set). It's about 31.2 with the spring clips. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! Regards

This a standard, not Olympic bar. I have only used 25 lb standard weights, and can fit 4 per side at least.

The smith bar is 80" from end to end, and you'll want to leave room to get the plates on and off. The sliding weight bar on the rear is 21" end to end. I have mine in a corner, with a clear area approximately 27" deep and 30" wide behind the main backrest/frame. The width at the main backrest/frame is 51" to tye ends of the plate storage posts. Unrelated, but worth noting, is that the Olympic sleeves are plastic. Here's a link to the instructions to give a better idea of the size and shape: http://img1.wfrcdn.com/docresources/5714/17/179962.pdf

Hi, porchpotato. I don't own and haven't used this product, but I own a pair of similar RAWBuiltTech standard-size barbell collars. I don't have one of those interchangeable-plates dumbbell sets, but I can say this much: even a 25 LB (old) Weider weight plate and a pair of (much newer) 5 LB Weider plates (or "disks") press against the clamped-on barbell collar (when the barbell is tilted even moderately). The 35 LB weight-plate trio then causes the barbell collar to shift toward the end of the barbell sleeve, if only by a fraction of an inch. Oh, I know that virtually no-one is tough enough (or dexterous enough) to try handling and curling a 70 LB dumbbell set made with 25 LB weight plates, but I hope my reply is a bit useful ...

Between both posts there is 45 inches. I can fit a sixty inch bar with enough room for quite a few weights on each side

I have a 7ft. 2" olympic bar and it works great. I have 315 lbs. with it also.
