can this be used with a 5ft olyp bar?

No, you may get away with a 6 ft bar but it is very tight and probably dangerous, we got a 7 foot bar to use instead

Yes, but you won't be getting full range unless you have really high doors, unless you bend your knees and hang. I'm 6'2" and have to door the hanging thing to get full extension and contraction. I believe the bar is rated for up to 250 lbs, just make sure you tighten the fittings every now and then. I weigh 215 and jiggle the bolts loose a bit here and there...

I suppose you could but I wouldn't recommend it with much weight on the bar.

A 7ft bar only clears the rack by about an inch on both sides. 6ft bar will not work.

It should be ok, as there are 3 extension bars, we just hang the 1st one as the celling is only 8.5 ft high.

I don't think this bar is stable enough. It could hold the weight coming straight down from it but if you pulled too much at an angle it wouldn't stay put.

Yes. The support bars are approx. 18" so the angle area needs to be able to support the length.

I don't think a 60" bar would be usable. I have a 72' olympic bar and there is only about 3.5" of clearance ecah side. The outside distance to the uprights is 46". My 60" exercise bar with fixed collars will not rack up.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

If you are asking, Peter, then you likely are a pull-up aficianado and, for us, this is not wide enough. A straight bar of 5 feet would be better for guys like us.

I am not sure how you would do that, as the wire holder that comes with it, is designed to use on horizontal bars. You might could rig up something to make it work tho!

Sure. Depending on how high the bar is, is it one of those door hanging ones or fixed. You might have to wrap straps a couple of times, depending on the height you want.

Probably not, most 6 foot bars have around 47 inches of space, 5 feet olympic bars would likely be less than the required

Not really no, the uprights are too far apart cuz it is meant for a 7-ft (full Olympic size) barbell. If you used a 6-ft you would have to rest the weight-holding part in the rack, which would be very tricky and probably dangerous with weights on the bar.

You could but the dimensions are different at the ends of the bar. Might be a little awkward. And there would be a gap under the bar where the two ends meet. Hope this helps. John

In my opinion no that should not be a problem the dip bars are sufficiently extended from the bar. This piece of equipment is well thought out.
