Is the leg portion able to accomidate non olympic weights? It looks like they just put a big plug over a normal bar. Can you just take that off?

Yes you can just take off the Olympic weight holder to accommodate normal weights.

You can but I think it would be to lose . Unless you have some way to secure the weights they will come off! When you are doing leg curles.

Setting it up you do slide that thing on there so I'm guessing you could put weights on there with the small holes

Frank,I purchased it and it does not include the 200 pound weight stack. It has a bar you can place plate weights on, however not Olympic plates. I had to purchase a conversion bar to accommodate my Olympic plates.

Standard, but you could probably use an olympic bar. You'll want to be carefull adding heavy plates one side at a time as it has a small base and standard bars are only 15lbs...it could fly off and smack you if you're not carefull.

You can actually use the smith bar as a leg press if you lay on the bench. Probably not the safest way to use it but that's the way I use it! :)

The bars hold olympic weights. It is great for bench. You do not need this for Deadlift.

No, because it hits a metal bar at the bottom. You could let it hit the bottom, take off the extra weight, and resume your workout.

A standard bar you buy at the store is not long enough. You need to get an olympic style bar.

No, this bar holds weight plates that have a 1" hole, olympic bars hold plates that have a 2" hole.

You need Olympic weights for this bar. Standard plates for a standard bar. You are smart to check because many stores don't carry a lot of Olympic plates.

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.

I own this product there is no extension for use of a non Oly bar. An oly bar fits the stand with about 3" between the edge of the stand support and the oly bar weight collar. There IS a adaptor to allow use of Oly plates that have a 2" hole with the leg extension weight peg vs standard plates that have a smaller hole. FYI. The recommended Max of 150lbs on the leg extension peg is accurate. More than that can bend the peg (maybe) or tip the bench (certainly)

Been there plenty of times. Just slide your knees out from under the pads and let the weights rest on the frame. Take the weights off to pick the bar up and set it on the latch. Repeat lol...

Not sure. The handles are somewhat narrow though. A little more narrow than your standard Olympic bar. They are good bars though. Just a little long so they make a couple lifts sort of awkward. But I really like them and reccomens them for a home gym.

No, unfortunately the bar that goes accross the bottom makes that impossible. I don't know if the bar can be safely removed? It dosn't look like it.-Another Home Health OT

When I purchased these, the leg press was a separate item, priced additionally, and installation required disabling the leg curl feature from the gym. This was a couple of years ago, so don't know the arrangement today.

Yes. It fits on the Olympic bars I have at The Bar Bell Club. BUT - it's a bit loose. Perhaps it's designed that way... Ken

I would think a regular sized person could do that since you can put your full body weight on the bar without it tipping. Make sure the feet that stretch out along the floor are fully extended.
