Is this bar sturdy enough for a 14 year old gymnast?

I think its best suited for those up to age 8 or so, unless the 14 year old is extremely small for her age. This is not a particularly tall bar even on its highest setting...

The only thing i worrrie is that needs more wait on the legs, it move a lite.

I would say so. My daughter is only 10. I have been known to get on the bar myself and I am 44 and 130lbs.

I believe the weight limit is 140lbs. My oldest is only 90lbs right now and it is ok for her.

It should be fine as long as the bar is on a flat level surface. During the assembly I make see what other measures I could take to increase the stability, such as glue it increased screws. But that would just be as a precaution as it's pretty sturdy from the start.

My daughter got this bar for her 8th birthday. We have moved it around in her room a little bit but it is heavy. She already wants a bigger one but we have no room! I think she will probably outgrow this one in a few years. It gets used a lot.

I bought this bar last Christmas and was really happy with it. It ranges from 36" to 60" and I would say it is good for up to 200 lbs. I have done mill circles on it and I am 5'9" and 150 lbs.

it wouldn't be bad for child to train with it does come down fairly low but no the bar top is not soft its metal.and it is more stable front to back than side to side.

For older kiddos, maybe. The pieces do not lock together tightly, and lift sometimes. Could trip up young gymnasts!

You would want to weight down the legs. My child is 11 and weighs about 80 pounds and the bars start to rock a bit when being used.

yes this is a 45lb bar (20kg). I would not buy it though.... rusty and not good for anything but squat and bench. I replaced it with a Rogue bar.

It is sturdy. My daughters ages 9 and 11, use it in their room. The put drinks and even their 15 inch laptop on it with no issues.

I would suggest getting the Gymnastics Expandable Junior Training BarZ-Athletic (17)It can hold more weight and your child can use it longer. If she is 95 lbs, she may only get to use it for another year before she outgrows it. My daughter is 7 and so she has some time. I am sure that I will buy the bar above when she is 10 or 11. Good luck!

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.

Yes but It is not all that sturdy...I was SO dissatisfied with it for my 14 year old. The bench Literally BROKE and my daughter is a twig so ...I wouldn't waste your money but that is my opinion

This is an adult set. It can be adjusted to lower weights but the size of the bar is awkward and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 12 and then only under supervision.

No the bars are not strong. My nine year old grandson had problems with his almost immediately. He weighs less than 80 pounds.

My daughter is 6 and competesLevel 2. It never even wiggles with the skills she practices. She has older friends who play and flip on it and it is solid even with older girls. Maybe on harder dismounts I could see where it could possibly wiggle, but the legs on the base are so long it seems impossible to tip. The bar is great! Highly recommend it! Hope this helps!

Well the kids won't be able to hang on the bar of course but my 3 year old still hasn't broken it. It's fairly sturdy and as far as the sides go, they are installed the way they are in the picture. It's always open. Hope this helps!

My daughter is 55 pounds. My nephews also play on her bar and they are 7,9,14,16 years old. So over 140 pounds.
