Can I use this bar for gravity exercises with the proper boots?

I would say not. I was very disappointed in this product after I got it. Very wobbly. I had to alter it, just to utilize it.

Only if by proper boots you mean anti gravity boots... George Jetson. The bar is great for pull ups but it does sway and rock easily from side to side. I wouldn't feel safe hanging upside down from a bunch of poles that aren't welded or even bolted tight. Slip connections don't even all have cotter pins. That said its plenty sturdy for normal pull ups and the loose joints make for quick easy assembly/disassembly. If you do upside down stuff... wear a helmet... Radio.

Depends on how intensely you exercise, but most likely, no. The base is not sturdy enough.

Yes you should be able to use this device with gravity boots, but you should purchase the stabilizer bar for added support. It is a very stable device.

Yes! I own a pair of gravity boots and this bar works well for these types of exercises. Definitely worth the money.

Hi Zack and thanks for your interest in Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots. These items are intended to be used primarily with Teeter Inversion Bars, Inversion Racks, and Inversion Therapy Tables. While we can not recommend using them with an outside brand (power tower pull up bar) as we cannot vouch for the limitations and guidelines of Power Tower's design, we definitely recommend the product as they are very comfortable and long-lasting. Thanks again and hope you have a relaxing day! -Your Friends at The Unwind Company

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

No, unless you're less than about 60lbs. It is far too unstable. Even casting makes the screws connecting the bar to the elbow joints loosen and eventually fall out, leaving the holes stripped. Used in a rec gym, these bars lasted only about 6 months.

Maybe, as you can see the lever is popped up our of the heel. I have not used it for boots. Good luck!

Yes. I have done this. However, be aware that the "lock collars" come loose very easily. This is worse with more weight on the bar.

You can yes, going off of memory you should be able to put 6 10 lb weights on each side to bring it up to 120lbs per bar.

I suppose you could but I wouldn't recommend it with much weight on the bar.

You can but it takes some adjustments and you should have someone strong to help. You have to unscrew one of the screws a one end and angel the bar to make I fit. I hope this helps you.

Yes, you can use an olympic bar. I use a Rogue 45 lb male barbell and works just fine.

For abs I lie down with my feet hooked under the leg bar and do sit ups. For the gluteus I would use the strap behind the heel and do straight leg pull backs. I haven't done a lot of work on this and I am certainly not an expert.

Depends. The bar on the inversion table I have is 1" diameter and the boots hook up really easy from the upright position. The boots have enough room for 1.25" diameter bar, but not a lot of "play" (which might be really important if you're trying to hook up while upside down). Actually, I just checked again, and the entrance area of the slot is really closer to 1.5" so 1.25" would fit no problem. Hope this helps.As an aside, several people have been paralyzed or killed while using inversion boots on doorway pull up bars when the bars failed and they fell on their head/neck. Please reconsider using these boots for anything other than an inversion table; that's what they're made for. Depends.

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.

Yes you can, they are seperate so you can move them although most use the standard 7' barbell. The feet shouldn't get in your way. Still using them and like them so far.

not boots..but not bar either...cushioned stationary ankle grips for back of above ankle...and adjustable (in and out for tightness)cushioned ankle grips on front...it holds comfortably. directions suggest use with shoes, I always use it barefooted-It's okay for me like that, the intent being the inversion.

No specific type bar required...as long as the hook on the boot can fit around the circumference of the bar you shouldn't have a problem.
