can it hold standard 10 lb. barbell weight plates ?

No it cannot. Small type iron weights only fit in this vest or at least the one I have. Picture is a bit unclear and looks like it can fit bigger weights but definitely the one I have.

No, the pockets will only hold a 2.5 lb plate. I found that filling the pockets up with pennies is the best way. You could buy BBs but then you're stuck with 30+ pounds of useless BBs. At least you can spend the pennies when you get tired of lifting. Also I attached some really thick heavy chain with some S hooks to add even more weight.

Hi RonaldI have one but it holds small cast iron weights which fit nicely in their own little pockets. Did order one which is suppose to hold free weights but haven't received yet....maybe this weekend.Will let you know.Roger

No it can't so far the only style of weights that I have been able to get into the vest is the adjustable weights. The same one that you will fine in the ankle or wrist weights. You will have to look around but Walmart has 20 pound sets. I have it up to 75 and it works well.

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.

I have not added weights so could not give definitive yes, however, the connector is a standard bar size so would not expect a problem

Bar is included, weights are not.Any standard weight plates will work with it (example: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/weight-plates.jpg)

No, this bar holds weight plates that have a 1" hole, olympic bars hold plates that have a 2" hole.

Hi, porchpotato. I don't own and haven't used this product, but I own a pair of similar RAWBuiltTech standard-size barbell collars. I don't have one of those interchangeable-plates dumbbell sets, but I can say this much: even a 25 LB (old) Weider weight plate and a pair of (much newer) 5 LB Weider plates (or "disks") press against the clamped-on barbell collar (when the barbell is tilted even moderately). The 35 LB weight-plate trio then causes the barbell collar to shift toward the end of the barbell sleeve, if only by a fraction of an inch. Oh, I know that virtually no-one is tough enough (or dexterous enough) to try handling and curling a 70 LB dumbbell set made with 25 LB weight plates, but I hope my reply is a bit useful ...

its the same length as my regular olympic bar . its take olympic plates . it will fit a standard bench . i don't know how much weigh it can hold but i think more weight than the regular standard olympic bar because its heavier and thicker .

It does use olympic plates, it does fit my rack i would say it fits most olympic benches but I can't say for sure, I'd say it can handle about any weight you put on there it is a heavy duty bar it weighs 60 lbs, and it is 7 ft long.

It takes standard plates, not olympic sized plates. I searched a long time for this bar and really like it.

No. Standard plates have a smaller hole than olympic size and are for a lighter skinnier bar or dumbbell. A quick google search of olympic vs. standard weights will give you some images to compare

I believe so. It might be a little tight since it says that it will hold a 10-14" plate.

There are 10 inches on each side for plates. My 45 lb plates are an 1 1/2 inch - so taking off a inch for a clamp - I can put 6 45 lb plates on each side. The bar weighs 50 lbs - so using my setup the max would be 590 lbs. I am not sure of the actual weight capacity but you could email Troy or google it.

I would recommend constructing two small stands out of 2x4's, the design would be exceedingly simple. I haven't found a stand which would make sense for what you're describing, but I would recommend http://www.amazon.com/CAP-Barbell-Plate-Rack/dp/B00DNH5Z0W/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top for the plates themselves, if you don't have anything similar already.

Same as a standard 45 lb Olympic straight bar. I use everything from 2.5 lb to 45 lb Olympic plates. I also use the same collars as on the standard straight Olympic bar.

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

The bar I bought takes 1" plates, not Olympic-style plates. I have a pair of 50s I keep on mine, and it could fit 8 or 10 on a side, though I don't know if the bar itself could handle that much weight. I've had low 300s on mine (I'm 68, my heavy days are over) and everything was fine.

They can fit like 25lb plates. How would a rack assist with deadlifts? lol. Go buy a cheap flat bench and you do bench press. Its worth the money. I have one and love it.
