Can this be used for bench press? Would the safety arms still work for bench press?

It has a very strong structure, great for bench press, squats, military press, it has two locks for safety. Most important be sure you have in a solid floor surface.

I use it for benches. It really depends on chest size and bench height. When the bar is one the arms, it is just above my chest, so I can't touch to chest unless I set the arms in a lower position...but I want them in case of failure, so would prefer to touch them then go to my chest. I would advise keeping some plates on the plate holders at the bottom, especially if you are going heavy. Even a single 25 on each stand keeps them secure and steady.

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.

Safe is hard to answer, but it does have a clothing clip that if you were to fall/stumble it would turn off. It doesn't have arms or anything, so I would only recommend using it at very low speeds while working.

As long as the barbell's stability is secured of movement, for safety purposes, this product is great for bridges. It can also be used to bridge using the barbell as the barbell was intended for, but be cautious not to use too much weight, over extending the users weight limitations. Get the form down correctly first, This is Always key to All exercise !!! I hope this Answered your question on Bridging. So. in short, It is very Beneficial and adds a good safety net on any bars used for Bridging.As Always, Be Safe when Training !!!

Sure can! This is a great bar with multiple uses. I do squats, deadlifts, rows, and of course traps. I just started using it for farmers walks as well. Good price for a great bar.

It is possible, if you let the support bar go free the bench will decline. It's something I won't do myself, I wouldn't want to cause damage to the bench, you could try it without any weight and see how it feels to you.

I primarily use these straps for dead lifts and rows. They work great and allow me to train well beyond my hand strength. I have used them for pull downs, but never chin ups. I would imagine they would work fine as long as the bar is low enough to get them wrapped properly. If you have to jump up to the bar you won't be able to get them on unless you used a stool or chair.

Resistance can be adjysted. My husband used it for arm strength and it worked out just fine - he met the ot goals within the allotted time.

Yes easily low enough for decline bench press. I have short arms too and I use the 4th notch from the bottom. What notch you use also depends on the height of your bench. Mine is tall for a bench at 23". No regrets a great piece of equipment, I love it.

No, this bench has a max weight limit of 300lbs. In this case the barbell weight used would exceed the bench limit.

I would imagine so but do be careful because the base of the arm can slip off some times. For me personally I made a hole in the spot that the base sits so that it doesn't. Hope this helps.

yes u can use it for that, as long as u don't go over the wt limit (u + lifting wt) the bench has a 400-450 limit

yes it is stable enough to do tricep dips. i'm 5'10" 162lbs and i use it all the time to do dumbbell press, seated dumbbell rows, etc. you won't fall off unless you're unbalanced.

No, the racks have limited range especially for decline presses. I would suggest looking at Rogue fitness products. They are a little more expensive but well made and American made products. Hope this helps.

You can actually use the smith bar as a leg press if you lay on the bench. Probably not the safest way to use it but that's the way I use it! :)

Yes, it can be used for arms. The unit is sturdy, but not to heavy for me to lift. However my 88 yr old mother cannot.
