Can I use regular weights with this? I don't own Olympic weights. I am female 60 years young, is this good for me?

This bar accommodates Olympic Plates only. Regarding is this bar good for you...yes it is. The reason why is that it allows you to execute your deadlifts with perfect form much easier than a traditional straight Olympic bar as you step INSIDE of it to perform the deadlift. It just makes sense ergonomically. Saw it years ago and which I would've bought it then. Depending on your commitment you can purchase an Olympic weight set for very little. Good luck.

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

It states olympic, standard 1" or as you call it "regular" weights can not be used. Only for 2" hole

Standard weights have a 1 inch hole...this cap hex bar uses 2inch olympic weights. Yours wouldnt fit. Sorry. BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

This is perfectly fine and safe for you to use. As long as the weight plates are 2 inches, you should be fine.

Olympic weights have a larger center hole (2"), and standard weights have a smaller center hole (1"), so standard weights will not fit, sorry because this bar is great.

Most likely they won't work. Olympic weights have 2" diameter hole in the middle that will fit tight and secure over the ends of this bar. Regular weights only have 1" diameter hole in the middle

MUCH safer for you guys to use than free weights, which would be dangerous and break bones, like your toes or something. And the bows don't "whip" like you would think, so if you do let go suddenly, nothing should break and you should be fine. I have my dad work on it, and he's 78.

Only weights with a 1" diameter (small) hole; not Olympic weights. I'm not sure of the available range of weights with the 1" hole.

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the question. Are you asking if you CAN? Or telling me you can? Can you please reask and reword your question? BTW i would NOT recommend this bench unless you are using it for very light exercising. It is very unsturdy when you begin to use heavy weights for exercising.

I got and recommend an Olympic bar & weight set. Its a 2inch grip 45lb barbell & then 260lbs of weights. You can order them online but unless you can find it for free or low shipping its best to use local. Amazon has them as a set from diff sellers for $385 to over $400. Dicks Sports has them for $209 in store but charges like $200 to ship it to you. I went to our local Hibbetts sports & bought them. The bar comes with 2 clips

Hello this machine can hold quite a bit of weight, I've loaded each stack with 2, 45lb plates (270lbs),but make sure you get the Olympic adapter sleeves because the machine itself will only hold standard weights. Body solid carries a very good adapter sleeve, they offer2, a short one & a longer sleeve go with the longer one. They are easy to attach.

Yes you can do it without using supplements. If you're limited to 15 pound dumbbells, you won't see any results. Go to EXRX.net to get an idea of what weight you should be able to lift to get a frame of reference. Weight training strength standards, 15 pounds simply isn't enough to challenge your body.

Hi Jana, These units do not come with weights. The post they have on them are 1", so they fit standard weight plates without using an adapter. If you have Olympic plates with a 2" hole, you can purchase an Olympic adapter to slide on the post. Hope that helps. Thanks, Andy

This piece of equipment requires weights to be placed on the three spindles on the top platform. The weights are not included in the price of this unit. The spindles are narrow, and will not snugly accommodate the 2" hole in a standard Olympic plate, but adaptors are sold which solve this problem. As to what kind of plates to purchase, that depends on what type of plates you may already own, any additional equipment you may have, and what plans you may for additional equipment. I do highly recommend checking Craig's List for used plates.

You can do everything with dumbbells, a bench or ball and a pull up bar...but a barbell is recommended for some exercises..weights will depend on your current strength. I bought everything from 8lbs up to 60lbs

This is a very basic. I wouldn't look to go over 135 with this. If your already lifting and our serious about progression I would reccomend you get an Olympic bar and invest in good weights.

Yes, you can use an Olympic bar (72 inch or longer). However, the plate storage pegs on this stand are made for standard weights. The olympic weights will fit on the pegs, just not tightly like olympic weight size pegs.

Unless you are squatting 100lbs and less, this bar would not be the one I would get if any squatting above 100lbs is your aim. I would only squat lightweight with this (my wife) and me (for warming up and just stretching), so I just clean it off the floor. It is a nice bar for curling and pressing but I think I am going to just go ahead and buy the Olympic bar , so I can only recommend to buy the Olympic full bar and especially if you are buying a rack. I am not sure if that answers your question but my opinion.

NO, they will not. These weights are appropriate for non-Olympic one inch bars only. If you have an Olympic set you must buy Olympic plates. However, these plates nonetheless are of professional quality as good as any non-Olympic weights you will find in any gym.

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

They should take the 1" diameter standard weights, but not Olympic. So you could get each dumbbell higher than 100 lbs a piece by buying separate 25 lb plates yes.
