can you add weight to this gym encase of outgrowing it ?

Yes. At least an additional 50lb weight stack. Model SP50. Go to Body Solid.com for all info and accessories.

Yes, buy the Body Solid Home Gym Extra Weight Stack as referenced in my review. It adds 50lbs to the included weights, which is plenty of weight for a large user. I suggest just getting it when you order the machine as the included weights are easy to outgrow. I am 200 lbs and pretty fit and with the extra weight pack, I cannot max out the machine. Hope this helps!

Yes you can. Each pair comes with 4 2.5 plates. All the other plates are 5 lbs each. Upgrade kit consists of 22.5 plates. These are one of the 2 best adjustable dumbbells (powerblock being the other) and if you get them you will be happy with your purchase "Osamabin laden" really!? Well it's not any better than my user name lol!

you can buy them directly from the company and there are also aftermarket weights that fit. i would try the existing stack before ordering more, though, because of the position the exercize starts in with this machine. you start with your hands back by your shoulders, where you are weakest, unlike with freeweights where your arms are extended at your strongest. it makes a big difference. if you can bench this stack on this machine, you can bench probably well over 300 on an olympic bench.

You can use weight plates. I've done this when using it indoors on a gym floor. You can use more weight this way. The Sac is sturdy enough to use it this way, especially on a low-friction surface.

you could use your weights and the bar that goes with it...but thats about it.

You could use standard plates you'd need at least a 7ft bar for this bench tho. The leg extension can use both standard and olympic size weights has a plastic sleeve that can be removed.A 6 ft bar would not leave you much room to increase weight on the bar.

It's definitely possible, but I would recommend putting the towel and light jacket on the bottom, and placing the dumbbells on top.It can hold a surprising amount for its size.

No, it doesn't come with weights. You'll want to buy some 10's and 5's and just try it out and see what balances it. Start with 10, then add more weight as needed.

yes u can use it for that, as long as u don't go over the wt limit (u + lifting wt) the bench has a 400-450 limit

I think you could actually make some, I have been thinking about it myself. I was on the total gym website and I like the new handles they have as well. I also like the foot bar they have which is taller than the thing that comes with the total body works. I showed it to my husband and he is going to make me a similar one, seems pretty simple if you can weld or bend metal tubing. It would be nice if they offer accessories like that, but I think for now it would be pretty easy to make your own.

No. Thats one con of this item. But if you add a flat platform to it, and put your larger item to be weighed, just add the weight of the platform to the weight of the item.

No. One probably can be added but I have never used one. For us this is really a great machine. We are both 70 and work out 6 days a week. Took us about 4 hours or so to put it together. We think this was really a good buy for the money and does everything that we would need now and down the road. I for one would highly recommend this machine.

It comes with two bars that you add weight to. Is that what you are asking?

This is a standard weight bench for a beginner. I do not believe you can add to this equipment.

No I can bench the whole stack. I'm doing 45 reps with the entire stack now. I wish I bought a machine with more weight. I'm 5' 7" and 40 years old.

Yes, just allow yourself the room necessary to adjust the length to the exercise you plan on doing. The lower you go on some exercises the more advanced the exercise becomes.
