What's the depth of the squat rack? As in, for squats, how far can I step back from the hooks and still be over the safety bars?

The safety bars extend 13" in front of the hooks; should be able remain over them while doing squats. I considered something more like a full squat cage, but considering the space I have available and the price of this item, it works quite well.

It's only about 1.5 - 2 feet. My squats leave the bar above the front posts, so I could theoretically lean forwards and drop it in there in a pinch.

All I can say is don't expect to have maximum mobility with this cage; the price is definitely for a budget home gym. You can maybe take a half step back before the bar could potentially fall out of the catching-range. Personally, I face away from the rack instead of towards it - making it feel more "open".

Sam, the length of the safety bars from the uprights are 14 inches. However, the front floor brace lays about 14 inches out as well. So when you lift off with the bar, you dont have to take a big step back to perform a squat. Hope this helps.

6 ft should be okYou can go completely if you take the SAFETY BAR off. I don't see any instructions that say to do this.I have done it a couple of times but need someone to get me back to vertical.My back stretches pretty good with the safety bar installed so I don't remove it often

It is 17 1/4 from the front of the rack to the back of the rack.... you know between the two bars.... depth and the 32 3/4 is the length of the rack from end to end... The two clothes poles you adjust to whatever heights you want... I made the front one the lowest to hang shirts/blouses on and the back as high as my little area under the stairs would take so I could put suits with long skirts and pants on it.

No, it's not meant for squats. Even if you tried positioning the back rest up and forward it and then positioned your body between the bar and back rest it would still be a tight space (about 15 inches between the bar and back rest) to do squats.

I'm not the most accurate at measuring but it appears to be about 11 1/2". If you are asking about the depth of the screws then I'm not sure. The depth of the actual rack appears to be about 1/4". My son in law mounted mine. I LOVE them. Hope this helps.

The bar that hangs from the rod is a total of 35 1/2 inches long. This includes the hook. The bar that goes between the rods that hang is 28 1/2 inches. This bar is not adjustable. You can adjust it up and down to any point you like along the bars that hang. I have my fairly low to hang my dress pants on the bottom and shirts above. Note: I had issues with the plastic part that holds the bar at the height you want. I put a rubber band just below it and have had no issues since.

I was 275 and 6'3'' before I started to work out a lot. The rack never even moved around or buckled an inch. It is a solid piece of equipment. I use it 4 to 5 days a week and dips are fine. When I want to go extra deep in a dip, I lean forward.

They are just barely under 2 inches in diameter. I use Olympic plates and they fit perfectly on them. FYI, I have a squat rack that's not very deep and I have found that I have to be careful where I store certain plates with these, or I find myself hitting those plates when squatting.

In the flat position the seat is 20 1/4 inches off the floor. The barbell rack is 5 feet tall with the highest bar support hook being 53 1/2 inches off the floor. Hope that helps.

I'm 6'2" and i have to bend my knees to get under the bar. Other than that this rack is great.

When attached to the wall there is about 3/8 inch space between it and the back of the bar; the bar and mounts protrude about 1½ inches. The hooks add another 1 3/4 inch of depth. They can be removed by pulling off one of the removable end pieces and sliding them off. Note that there are ONLY 6 hooks, I had to buy several of these so I could strip them off an extra hanger and add them to the others. There really should be AT LEAST 10 hooks on each unit but the manufacturer doesn't sell extras; I asked!

They extend a foot or so and are easy to adjust quickly once you get the hang of it. I put marks on my rack so I could remember which holes correspond to which lifts.In terms of bailing on a rep they work great for bench press. For squats, however, I'm always a little nervous that I'm going to miss them if/when I have to bail on a failed rep. I haven't missed yet, but I recommend practicing your bail with an empty bar to make sure you're properly lined up over the safeties.

I'm not sure that these extend high enough for squats. I returned them because my husband didn't need them.

The measurement from the outside of the uprights on this squat rack, where it holds the bar, is 46 3/4". Some people may be taking their measurements from the lower part of the rack which is wider than the upper part. I have a standard 6 foot weight bar and the gripping area is 48" from plate stop to plate stop so, it easily fits on this squat rack. Anything shorter would not. I hope this helped since you got a lot of different answers; some from people who don't own a standard bar.

I don't think it would work as is... It currently has two height adjustments but both are a little tall for someone 5'3". If you are handy with a drill and a tape measure, you could easily mount the squat hooks lower on the upright. The squat hooks are mounted with a heavy duty pin that goes through the hook and upright. Very simple fix...

dear karen, the rack measures 48" outside to outside.if your bar measures 48" between,it is going to be very close and i do not think that i would chance it,i myself went ahead and bought an Olympic ( 7'-0") bar.it works fineelana

With all the hooks concealed: 1 1/4" is correct. With hooks open: 3 1/2". Height of rack is 7".
