Is a 1" or 2" bar recommended for this bench? Also, for the leg curles, does it use weights with 1" or 2" holes.

You can use either. I have an Olympic set with it currently but they can be used with a standard set as well. The leg extension comes with an adapter to fit the 2" plates but the 1" fit without the adapter.

For the weights for the leg curls it is a 1" bar. As for the bench it probably doesn't matter as long as the bar is long enough. I bought a 2" bar but as long as the bar is wide enough a 1" would work. The bar I bought is 7' long and that is what I would reccomend.

Either one would work. The leg curl has a sleeve to make it compatible with either size.

The leg curls has an adapter to accommodate either 1" or 2". Olympic bar would be recommended but 1" would work. Spacing is wide though.

The spacing for the uprights on the bench is setup for a 2" olympic bar. The leg curl is also setup for 2" olympic weights.

For the bench, you can use and size bar, it doesn't matter. For the leg weights, you can also use either size plates. The leg attachment holder comes with an adapter that fits over the bar and allows accommodation of 2" plates. I would point out that the leg attachment is really quite mediocre, and I am not satisfied with that part of the bench. The attachment for arms curls works quite well, and having the back part of the bench to use for a squat rack is one of the main strengths for this bench.

Being 6'4", I have to slide either up or down on the bench to avoid hitting the bar. It took a few reps to figure out what worked best for the amount of weight I was using, but overall it works just fine. I am still quite pleased with my purchase and am looking to add on to it shortly!

Yes, this attachment is great for both leg curls and legs extensions. You can do 1 leg or 2 leg exercises. It takes about 10 seconds to adjust the bench, position the leg attachment and add the desired weights.

Hi. Just letting you know that I would suggest a more supportive weight bench. Also if you look at the barbell rack its kinda hard to rest it there cause its close together. Also look at the feet of this weight bench notice they are round abd this makes this weight bench suitable for lighter lifting

When I purchased the bench I weighed 268 lbs and the bench has held up fine. A word of caution though, I don't believe this bench was meant to used for lifting weights. It is fine for use lifting dumbells, doing crunches, etc., but not for barbells. I'm down to 238 lbs and the bench is part of my workout.

About twice as many as any commercial gym I've been to, somewhere around 3in. I've found it extremely handy for different exercises as you can find perfect height for whatever you're doing, but cheap thin metal sounds horrible scraping against the safety bars so mark them to cut down on that and the number of times you have to readjust because you forgot which holes you were using.

Only weights with a 1" diameter (small) hole; not Olympic weights. I'm not sure of the available range of weights with the 1" hole.

You need enough width for dumb bell presses and things like that and the curl portion of it really only adds maybe 2 feet of movement space. So I have mine in my office and i use it in an area of my office that is 7 feet by 10 feet cause I keep my weights there too and I have the squat/bench stand that goes with it.

1" curl bars are typically rated for 160lbs, but in actuality able to support much more weight. This particular bar would have no problem holding 220 lbs. Beyond that, move up to an olympic bar.

I can't answer this yet because my weights don't fit on the machine. I have to get weights that have a larger center hole to fit onto the bars. But the machine does seem pretty sturdy and the action is very smooth. One thing is that the space where you put your foot is very large.

Get the Elite version of this bar--it comes with a crossbar that keeps the pull-up bar stable. If u have that version but want to stabilize it more, use a couple 40+ lb dumb bells on the bottom bars to weigh it down. Works great for me and I'm a 220 pound 6'2" dude.

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

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.

You are correct, this is for weight plates with the 1" holes. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Olympic weights have a larger center hole (2"), and standard weights have a smaller center hole (1"), so standard weights will not fit, sorry because this bar is great.

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! :)

A regular 1 inch bar would work (that would be like the standard thickness of a bench press bar) get a ruler and see. I took out a ruler and held it next to the bar on the smith rack that we have at my gym, it came out to 1.25 and the boots did not fit.
