Can you do seated rows with this equipment? What handle attachments does it come with? Does the olympic weight set comewith weight collars?

Sure, there is a low pulley on the back of the machine where you can do low rows. It comes with a 20 inch straight bar for your seated rows. The Olympic set comes with collars, yes. Just let me know if I can be of more help. Best Regards, Andy

The set comes with collars. Includes Lat Bar and Low Row Straight Bar. The weight stack has a low pulley, so you could do seated rows with an attachment.

Yes This weight set includes a position for curling arms. It also has a position so you can pick up the weights on your shoulders using your legs. And also you can set the backrest all the way down lock in the leg exercise part and do your sit ups. All of these positions are included in the set and attached to one another this is a very good machine for the money. I have put a lot of weight on the machine and use it almost every day and have no problems whatsoever it's also great because it covers all areas of the body.

I would do rows with a barbell at 145angle from the floor. Also the bottom pully works fine for do rows upright.

I just weighed the two handles and they weigh exactly 5.4 Lbs. That leaves us with 4.6 Lbs to account for. That's all I got.Actually, I just weighed the full set in the box and it totals 41.8 Lbs. And the handles with the collars total exactly 7 Lbs. Again... It doesn't answer the question fully, but it gives you something to think about while you lift those 40 Lbs. Or 41.8... Or 37.. Or whatever.

It's designed for standard weights. I believe an olympic bar could sit in the holders though.

The new styled total gym handles are nice. You can buy handles like that at any sporting goods store and then with some heavy duty carabiners and locking loops attach them to the cable system on the Weider Total Body 5000. I was thinking about doing that and also making a cable extension and getting some leg cuffs.

No just the bench. You need to purchase the Olympic barbell and the weight plates (Olympic) on your own. You can choose to use standard barbell and standard weights but you still need to purchase them separately. The bench is awesome. I've owned it for almost 2+ years and it's like I purchased it last week. It's very durable and has longevity. Good luck.... usually Amazon will recommend added items to your check out procedure where they combine things you will need.... Check that out.... they usually give you bundled deals.

Probably the bar & star-lock collars are 5 pounds each; that's what I figure looking at other sets. Should total 40 lbs of lifting weight.

Not really. The arms are great for armbars. The unit itself was stiff but I bought it for my kids and hubby to practice body throws, lifts and arm bars. Hope that helps. :-)

Hi Joan, I do have a similar equipment. It has a very robust frame and it can take weights. I've been loading it lightly so I don't know the full capacity. I am sure you can find this info in the manual or get it from the supplier. Good luck!

No, it does not come with extra weights. You can buy weights at any sportinggoods store or in Target, K-Mart, or Wal-Mart sporting goods department. Besure there are extensions (short round bars) under the seat to slip them on.If not, you'll have to figure out some way to attach them; should be simpleenough. Good luck.

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.

The bar, stand and bench are included. Weights are not included. You have to assemble yourself as well which wasn't terrible, but required a little elbow grease since not all the bolt holes align well.

Just the bench and the rack. You have to provide all the weight equipment (weights, bars, collars) yourself. The rack is made for a 7ft Olympic bar with Olympic weights, so keep that in mind if you try to get weights and a bar for him. There is Olympic equipment (2 inch) and standard equipment (1 inch). If you look, you can find 7ft standard bars, but just get Olympic gear. Check your local Craigslist for used equipment.

I purchased and olympic weight set prior to purchasing the bd-7. I have a 7 foot bar, 4 10 pound plates, 2 25 pound plates, 2 35 pound plate, and 2 45 pound plates. I also have 2 five pound plates and 2 2.5 pound plates, all olympic sized and they fit fine on the rack. I also have a 5 foot olympic bar and it just barely fits. So If you go to a sports store, you can look for a olympic weight lifting set and it should fit fine. I also purchased the dip bar attachement to the rack and love it. This is a great rack and I recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed!

Hi there,This machine takes Olympic weights. I really like this machine. I superset it with calf raises. Really started noticing a difference in the front of my shins pretty quick.
