Can it be used as a barbell stand for doing squats?

Mine is the older model with the flat tops and no foam padding, looks like they did some modifications. It's a great dip bar I will say that, does the job. I wouldn't use it for anything else. Be safe!

I would not recommend using this dip stand as a barbell stand for doing squats. It is made specifically for dips. It is a great dip stand.

No, you'd kill yourself when it tipped over on you, also the handles are to narrow to stand underneath....

Unless your bench is less than ten inche wide, you should have not problem. Mine is 16-inches wide. That's what is so neat about this set. You can do squats or bench presses simply by moving the arms up or down in the holes, which are about four inches apart. The arms are strong enough so that you can place a barbell on the, load on the plates, and roll the bar back against the stanchions (sp?). Then when you lie down on the bench, you roll the bar forward until it reaches the lip stops at the ends of the arms. This is a great buy, especially if you are cramped for space. Enjoy!

Yes, it can be used for push-ups, but I don't know how it compares to other bars for that purpose.

Yes you can, they are seperate so you can move them although most use the standard 7' barbell. The feet shouldn't get in your way. Still using them and like them so far.

Sorry, their stands are sold separatelyBut if you don't purchase one then you would have to squat down to pick them up, and that counts as a workout ; )

It would be difficult to do squats off the back of this bench. The uprights lean towards the back. I wouldn't suggest it.

NO,this product is a padding that goes on the barbell to make it more comfortable when you squat.It is the same as wrapping a towel around the bar to make it softer.Make sure to Squat is fundamental.

I don't see why not -- the top and bottom bars are adjustable -- you only put one leg up at a time. You never really put all your weight on the bar, and if you put it together correctly, it's actually pretty sturdy! I use it to do the bar method DVD's and you never really do more than lightly hold on for balance, so again I don't see why not.

This barbell is fitted for 2" Olympic Plates only. If it were a 1" standard bar it could be used in combination with 2" plates although it wouldn't be ideal. I would search "CAP 1" Barbell" or something similar on Amazon and see what pops up.Thanks,MichaelMatters of the Cart

Easily. This is a very good squat rack especially for a compact space. Like an apartment. Its sturdy enough for 100+ pull ups

You could if the bar is the right length...I believe you can do a 6 ft bar minimum...I did a 7 ft barbell Olympic size and it's not too big if that's a concern

I suppose you could but I wouldn't recommend it with much weight on the bar.

It would work for the arm and shoulder exercises. The length of the bar is rather long, so there could only be a few inches of clearance between the floor and the end of the bar.

Yes you can. I prefer to use the stand this way. I find when I use it as a 6 tier stand it can be a little unstable.

The total length is 16" and no there is no stand for the weights not being used. You would have to fabricate a stand for best storage.

Yes, the dumbbell bar would hold. It would probably consist of 4 ten pound plates on each side with the remaining plates and bar and collars adding up to 100 pounds.

Sure can! This is a great bar with multiple uses. I do squats, deadlifts, rows, and of course traps. I just started using it for farmers walks as well. Good price for a great bar.
