If I'm getting a squat rack that has two seperate polls and thus you can decided the distance between them does that mean this 5ft bar fits on it?

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.

Hard to say. The inside measurement on a regular olympic bar is 52" and the inside measurement of the 5' bar is 42." Just depends on the width of your rack.

It should fit, maybe even better than my 5' bar. On my bar, the collars start right where the uprights are. I use PVC sleeves to move the plates out so that the bar sits on the rests.

It depends if your rack attaches to your seat post then no. If your rack attaches elsewhere the height of your seat will determine if there is room, the higher the seat more clearance.

I don't think it would fit. If it did, it would be a tight squeeze. I measured the between the bars and it's very close to 5" but not quite there.

The middle bar you can move to where you want it. So the distance is up to you - it can go as high as an inch from the top bar and as low as about two inchs from the bottom.I hope this helps.

I have a five foot bar and it works fine. The inside collars sit on the support, so you have to ensure both sides are in and on when lifting. Allen

I'm very interested in this set as I used to lift weights years ago but I may not be as dedicated as I once was so I can't see springing for an Olympic bar that will cost just about half of what the entire setup cost. To those who checked out Gold's Gym website and viewed the pdf manual, it clearly says that you have a choice of making the squat rack fit shorter and Olympic bars. I just wanted to be as sure as possible before I made this purchase. I just may go ahead and get this but order the 7' standard bar.Thanks for all your input with my questions.

Dallin, No issues with height whatsoever. I'm 5'11 and I take it to the 6th hole for the adjustment. It has plenty more extension. I use it for squats once a week and it hasn't presented a problem yet, even with 400 plus pounds. Good luck bro, it's a great rack to own.

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.

dear karen, the rack measures 48" outside to outside.if your bar measures 48" between,it is going to be very close and i do not think that i would chance it,i myself went ahead and bought an Olympic ( 7'-0") bar.it works fineelana

The squat bar is sturdy enough for 405 maybe more but I don't need to go any heavier. What I did was purchase and olympic bar as well.

32 inches between the bars is perfect. I just measured mine and they are 32 1/4 inches apart. So far I am very happy with the rack... Especially for the price.

I agree with the not realy answer. But it mounts next to the ball on the hitch so the bar length should not be an issue. Unless I am thinking incorrectly.

No. Even without the two extensions out the widest point of this rack is 50 and 1/4 inches. It's a little hard to tell from the picture but the widest point is the top bar.

I get about 45" when I measure. I measured from the floor to the top of the first post. Then I measured the four inches left above the adjustable bar. It is possible that when lowered it will slide an inch (or so) below the 45". I can't lower my rack right now to measure it specifically (while it's lowered) for you.

I have 2 bars, set with different weights. I think one's a 6 ft and the other is 7.
