Can I do standing shoulder presses inside this power rack? I'm 5' 10".

Hi, the item itself is 82" to the top, you will have to measure the length of your arms but I'm thinking no. I think you will need at least an 8' rack but you will need to check your height of where you are putting it. I can accommodate that if you need something bigger. Please let me know.

Not really no, the uprights are too far apart cuz it is meant for a 7-ft (full Olympic size) barbell. If you used a 6-ft you would have to rest the weight-holding part in the rack, which would be very tricky and probably dangerous with weights on the bar.

Let me give a more complete answer: Yes you can, but the rack has no springs to help you handle the weight, so you rely on the leverage you have and your own strength, and that's it.

I am only 6 feet tall, so I do not know for certain. I don't see why not, but you might need to drill an additional set of holes for the pins that support the weight at rest. So that your legs don't need to be excessively bent when lifting the weight off the pins, in preparation for your first set. And so that it is easy to return the weight stack to the resting point, without having to bend your knees too much. If I had to bet, I'd say that you would be pretty safe buying the press, and making the simple mod. Just my opinion, of course.

How tall are you? I am 5' 11" and it is not feasible for me to use the pullup bar. If you are looking to do pullups this is not a good squat rack for anyone average height or taller.

Nope. You will be perfectly fine using this equipment. My mom is also 5' tall and had no issues using it. In fact, she really enjoys using it.

I don't think you can, or would, push it past the stops. I have shorter legs, about a 30" to 31" inseam, and I can hit the stops. I also have extremely powerful legs and could press far more than this machine can accommodate. So my point is, keep in mind that this is a good machine, but think lighter weight, more reps, and don't expect it to be like a serious high-end gym machine. It is a great home piece.

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

You can do it but it does take a bit of "muscle". I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and pretty fit. I use a 9 volt air mattress pump to start it and finish it off with the hand pump to get to pressure. Probably takes me 10 minutes total. I definitely need to put my body weight into the last couple minutes. Totally worth it though!

Yes, I am 6'1" and the need is there. It works fine. You can also extend feet and legs forward to change it up periodically. Great home rack. I Got additional weight holders and have over 600# of weights + what ever I put on 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.

I would do rows with a barbell at 145angle from the floor. Also the bottom pully works fine for do rows upright.

You can. Nice thing about this rack is that you can move them as close or as far apart as you want. I have a 7ft bar and a pull up bar directly above it. I can easily do pull ups without the rack getting in my way, if I was to move the racks 1 foot closer together I would still have enough room. It's a nice set up for the money. The plate storage is pretty nice as well. I have bumper plates from Rouge and they store pretty nicely.

No you can't, but the tilt is slight. It needs to be a little tilted, so that the gear doesn't fall forward. This is a great rack

I'm not quite your size, but I think it should work fine. On the wide part of the unit there is a 'hand pad' where you can press down with your free hand to exert more force.

sure, you can stand outside the rack, or sit on a bench. If possible join a good Nautilus or med x gym for a better stimulus. read the book "Body by Science"

No, you can't. That is one reason why I sent it back. I am too tall to hold the arms on incline.
