pull out the silver weight braces and turn them around then adjust them to your desired height- also put the bench seat in the full upright postion. ready to squat.

I would not use this as a squat rack..... the position is not optimal and potentially dangerous. But otherwise this equipment worked well for me for other purposes.

Hi, this unit is absolutely awesome. Since I purchased it, I have been using it consistently 3-4 times per week.The unit can hold quite a bit of weight although I recommend following the manufacturer's recommendation for maximum capacity.When doing squats, you will have to raise the arms on either side of the bench in order to accommodate your height. Then, simply lift off the bar with weights and do your squats.I hope this helps, but if not, please let me know and I will be happy to provide additional information.

Simply stand on the back Siss of the system. I highly recommend the bench I love it.

Works fairly easy. Just fold the seat up, reverse the bench post and set to the height you need and Walla!

NO,this product is a padding that goes on the barbell to make it more comfortable when you squat.It is the same as wrapping a towel around the bar to make it softer.Make sure to Squat is fundamental.

There are some squats on one of the workouts but it's not hard. You can work at your own pace and he has one person doing a modified workout to help.

Hey there guy I purchased this rack last summer. It already has a chin up bar built in. Its the top crossbar. It has knurling on it to grab on for grip. Solid as hell! Go for it!

Yes . You just flip it over to use the lower ones incase you want to do a deeper squat position

Not really,Well,You can do squats on this pushing your own weight,However you can't add any weight's to it unless you were to hold something like a weight! However it does have resistance cables and that can give you a little more resistance when they are connected!

It works with different rear racks, but it does not work well with every rear rack. The spring-loaded gripper mechanism works best with a rack that has a single-width structural tube running the length of the rack. Some racks have a doubled tube, especially at the back of the rack, I suppose for more rack strength. This doubled tube makes it hard for the grabber to clamp onto the rack securely. I cannot think of specific examples of the racks that include this design feature. You'll have to look closely at pictures to see what I mean.

Buy a power rack and a separate bench. Yes, it'll cost you more but at least you'll be able to reach the rack pins when you're flat benching and you get to adjust the squat position. My wife was unable to unrack the bar for squats and I had to squat half the way down. The safeties are also completely useless. I actually just threw this whole setup on the dump

It has an attachment that comes around the side and you use the nut and bolt that comes with it and have to really, really tighten it. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it super tight. Once I did get it to a point where it would no longer turn any more, and I actually put all my weight on it and jumped up and down on it, I wanted to make sure it was not going to budge. The cheap stuff I bought before broke so I didn't want it to do the same thing. And this has my husband's clothes on it and it holding about 100-125 lbs just on that middle bar. And has been on it now for a couple of months without any slippage. I absolutely LOVE these racks.

If you already have a bench and a barbell the hooks rest on the barbell bar. Without a bar to rest on it defeats the purpose they were designed for. I use my 7' barbell bar on my squat rack and adjust the height of the bar to how I need the bench positioned (decline, flat or incline). They work great and make dumbell bench pressing as easy as any barbell bench press.

Frank, there is a clamp on each end. Simply tighten the clamp bolts down tightly with a crescent wrench. I have two of these racks and each center pole is filled with clothes. My 5 year old girls tried to use it for gymnastics before I put the clothes on and it held up just fine to their abuse as well.

It is adjusted manually with a lever. You would have to stop the workout to adjust.

The rack pieces are actually removable; I have mine on the reverse side, allowing me to squat away from the bench entirely.

After you unlock the end turn the end counter clockwise I beleive. This opens it up and you can fit it over the cross bar. Then you turn the end the other way and it tightens up under the rack.

They have large hooks that hang rom the barbell like say, in the bench press position allowing you to position and ready yourself to lift off just as in a normal barbell bench press. vs. the old school way of kick ing them up and balancing them before you even begin to press. A real energy saver if and when you begin to start using heavy dumbbells for workouts.

no the squat rack is already included, but there are some benches sold separately under utility benches i believe

I've just ordered one but have had similar machines in the past. You can basically do "pistol squats" and get just as good of a workout as you can with a leg press machine (which I use all the time at the gym too).
