If you had way to much weight on the machine and could not raise the weight; even by pulling back on the vertical post you would be screwed; right?

Agreed. Full size plates will touch on bottom and you can slide your legs out
1846323
Been there plenty of times. Just slide your knees out from under the pads and let the weights rest on the frame. Take the weights off to pick the bar up and set it on the latch. Repeat lol...
1846324
Not actually, you should be able to lower the weights down to where they would catch the floor. Also, slowly remove your knees from underneath the support pads.

Yeah the vertical post only locks holds the weight up...doesn't help you pull it up if you're screwed from putting up too much weight.Same as bench pressing, if you have no spotter, don't put more weight than you know you can put up...This is a good solid machine though. Same design as one you could find at any gym. The gym machines don't have saftey mechanisms either.Good luck....don't put on more weight than you can handle hahah! Anytime you work out alone that is a major rule to follow...

No, because it hits a metal bar at the bottom. You could let it hit the bottom, take off the extra weight, and resume your workout.
1846327
I am assuming that you mean by too much weight that you are able to begin the lift but not able to finish to the point where you swing the support into place to hold the weight then you would have to lower the weights to the floor by slowly standing up letting them crash to the floor. r

if you cannot get the weight all the way up, you can use the handle on top of the knee pads to spot yourself
1846329
Not really, as long as you're using 17" (full size) plates. I just tried it, and by lowering the weight a bit more than normal and pulling your knees out a bit the plates will come to rest on the frame.

Nearly impossible unless you partially disassemble it or maybe have 6 men, one at each post to lifting I'm still not sure if that would work. It's heavy.

Yes, but you will need a number of rolls, and you need to run it horizontally. Just place it carefully. If you place it wrong it can be lifted again but not too many times.

If you did that it would fall over its like a tee pee each leg out to support the weight of what you have hanging. Sounds like your trying to make a spit it might be possible if you put the other legs into the ground to secure them but iI dont know how sturdy this would be for any great weight. Hope this helps.

It is not a easy position but it is possible. If your a big person it may not work. It didn't for us.

I'm sure someone clever could do so, but there's no way to do that with the included parts. I would hesitate to do so anyway, as this would make the cart top-heavy and more likely to tip over.

Might try a heavy duty Velcro, but that would not allow you to move the base to another spot on the machine.

I would not think that anyone over 200 lbs. would have any luck with this machine.

Sure. The hard part would be anchoring the posts. It wants to fall apart if you move it. Takes two people to put it together. In hind sight I would of used hot glue or some kind of glue as I went along
1615761
Absolutely not! I mounted 3-24" monitors, that were below the suggested weight limit, and the main support snapped overnight. They wouldn't issue a return either.
1161786
I wouldn't, b/c most of the weight is on the rolling bag itself in the rolling position. Maybe initially, tilting back but my cheap Walmart travelers roll-on had no problems
2151909
I wouldn't because of the clamping on the post. Generally that is frowned upon.

You might be able to rig it to hook to the wall, but I would think it would be more trouble than it's worth.
1488715
You could, but that's not actually good for your back, especially for someone who is overweight. Also, there would be nothing to keep you from going past vertical, so it might be very difficult to right yourself, and you could cause other injury.

I do not think it would work - would not tighten correctly, probably be at a strange angle, and would probably be dangerous for whoever was trying to use it.
2138605
It most likely could be used for that but you would have to adjust the force of it

You wouldn't be able to lock your legs under the machine's padded rests because of the angle the cable comes down. It would be rubbing against your head/neck
