Is a 7ft (84 inch) barbell good for this?

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.

The 7' olympic barbell fits with not much room for the weights hub (the part the plate rests against when its on the bar), a 6' bar would probably fit with the hub inside the upper arms of the rack.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

You should be able to use an Olympic barbell. I use a standard 1" barbell. Just remember that the carriage has a 110 lb. limit.

7' bar for sure. A 6' bar won't reach. It's a great/sturdy rack. I use it for bench/shoulder/squats and plate storage. Definitely worth the money.

I bought this rack with the 6' Olympic Black Bar w/ Chrome Sleeve OB-72UL also sold here on amazon. the bar works with this rack just fine. The sleeves sit just outside the uprights. Not a whole lot of room to rack the bar when your done so keep that in mind.

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

To be realistic, because this is very a light duty stand, and the backdrop bar is so thin, and it deflect in the center due to backdrop weight, I think 7' or less is your max. the higher you extend it, the more instability will get. however, this set might be able to reach 8'.

You could use standard plates you'd need at least a 7ft bar for this bench tho. The leg extension can use both standard and olympic size weights has a plastic sleeve that can be removed.A 6 ft bar would not leave you much room to increase weight on the bar.

Are you asking about the width? If you are, it fits a 7 foot olympic bar pretty snug. Meaning, if you pull the weight off the rack to squat and walk sideways, you'll bump the plates into the racks, but this happens in any power rack when using a 7ft bar.

I have a 7-foot Olympic bar and I believe it was designed only for that -- I don't think you can use a 6-foot bar on it. For sure not a 5-foot bar.

No, you need at least a 7 foot bar. Sometimes I do use a six foot bar on mine as a second setup when I'm doing 2 exercise circuits (like squats and overhead presses), but the weights on the six foot bar rest inside of the power rack, which isn't ideal by any means.

It only goes up to 4 .6 feet in height, which is very short but then it is not built for heavy squats. I'm 5'5" and it is too short for me....and won't hold up under the weight I normally use as 315 is only my third warm up set.... If you are going heavier, get a better and more expensive rack. There is no way anyone who is over 6' could use it. They'd have to take the bar from the bottom position and that would no work with heavy weight.

Yes, that'd be no problem. It seems to be built for average and shorter people. I'm 5'7" and I have it on the farthest out setting.

For the weights for the leg curls it is a 1" bar. As for the bench it probably doesn't matter as long as the bar is long enough. I bought a 2" bar but as long as the bar is wide enough a 1" would work. The bar I bought is 7' long and that is what I would reccomend.

The Rack for the bar is about 46 inches or just under 4 feet apart. I use a 7 foot bar. I'm not sure where the weight dividers are on the 6 foot bar, but that would be the big question. In other words, as long as the skinny part of the bar where you grab with your hands extends 4 ft, you should be good.

This will fit a 6 foot Olympic bar, but without hardly any room for error to the left or right when re-racking. I use a 7 foot Olympic bar and there's much more room.
