Yes very easily as long as you have a decline bench. It's a great rack. Takes a bit to put together but very sturdy

I agree with Doug T., but it looks like it should work just fine. The rack has several choices for peg placements so you should be able to find the right height for the bar when you are laying on the bench.

I would not recommend putting more that 300 pounds on the squat rack. The rack is not very stable and tends to rock with heavier weight. I recommend even less weight when you are trying to bench. This not a really good bench for heavy lifting.

Hi....and I have no clue as I have never done that. This rack is very well made and I have had no problems with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

The bench can be adjusted. It can be declined for any decline an workout. It can be positioned for incline bench press and can be upright for seated OH Press. The bench however does not lie flat, this is a big disappointment as I wanted a flat/ incline/ decline bench. It is very sturdy but would not recommend using it outside, the bolts were the first thing to rust. I am a personal trainer and use the bench for my classes, great beginners bench but if you are an experienced weight lifter definitely invest in a bench that can take up to 600 pounds. This bench holds up to 300 lbs including person and weight. Hope this helps. The bench can be adjusted. It can be declined for any decline an workout.

Yes you can, all you need is a bench that will incline. I use mine for this all the time.

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.

Yes. I combine exercises. I put my weight on the floor an arm's length away. While in the down position, I keep my arms straight and lift the weight above my chest. I then do several presses, after which I do a sit-up while still hiding the weight close to my chest. Alternatively, I do the sit-up first and then press the weight when I am in the top position. Finally, in half sit-up position I shift the weight from side to side (dumbbell or kettle bell). Pure torture. Note that there is no rack on which to rest the weight, as with a bench.

No it does not attach to the rack, when you lift over 200 lbs. the bench will get tippy towards the weight. I put counter weight on the other end to remedy the problem. I like the rack but the bench could have been improved on with out riggers.

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.

No. Bench can be layed flat, or put in decline position. I believe Amazon has a video with the pictures showing how it works. I hope this helps.

I am using it with a dual bench press stands, and it works OK. But I am only benching <175lbs. Not sure about heavier weights. HTH

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

Buy a power rack and a separate bench. Yes, it'll cost you more but at least you'll be able to reach the rack pins when you're flat benching and you get to adjust the squat position. My wife was unable to unrack the bar for squats and I had to squat half the way down. The safeties are also completely useless. I actually just threw this whole setup on the dump

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! :)

Yes. I use it for personal training, therefore I use it as a swat rack and bench press.
