How much weight will this barre support?

I'm not sure; I've never put all my weight (102 lb),on it but have used it for my Classical Stretch classes,core & balance & to hold my stretches; Its as very stable (as you can tighten knobs to keep barres in place). I love it!

It's very sturdy, but free standing so its built for balanced exercise. Your center of gravity needs to be controlled which is the purpose. I do leg work mostly but even do pull ups directly under the bar. Its very versatile, and adjustable for even more uses. Can't go wrong if u know the basics.

I am 240 and it can hold me pressing on it. My wife is 130 and she puts her legs on it and has zero problems.

I weight 170lb and have no problem. I think that even up to 200 may be ok. May need to tighten up the slack though.

I weigh 260lbs & it works great for me. It is extremely sturdy & I have no stability problems with any of the exercises

I contacted SILK. They say it can hold 19.8 pounds. Furthermore they say the listed support weight in the manual, 13.2 lbs, is a typo.

I've squatted 495 and its a great help. It prevents the bar from digging into your traps. I don't believe there's a weight limit.

Yes it will support the heaviest you got and so easy to install I love it I guarantee it. I tried handing from it and I weigh 145 lbs

I do not know exactly but I weight 150 pounds and it is just fine. The board is solid so I feel it can easily support a weight of of 185-200. the height I think is more important and I would not be comfortable with a height in excess of 6 feet. Good luck!

I bought the 36lb bar. I think it is light for squats (41 year old female) however that's the heaviest bar they had.

Not sure. I'm 180 but I'm sure it would support someone over 225lb. When I first got it, it sagged in the middle where I sat. Then I bought the "backbone" and that made a big difference. It's a support rod that goes under the floor from bow to stern. I'll check in the book to see if it has a weight limit listed.

I've bought it for my 13 yr old to do safer squats and dead lifts so I've only had 180 lbs in weights on it. The bar weighs 50 lbs by itself and seems very solid. I would recommend !

I weigh 165 and I just use it as an aide with another floating device close at hand. I don't think it would just flat out hold up my weight.

It is a light weight bar. You only need 15-20 pounds as you will be doing hundreds of reps!

Although I don't know the exact weight rating I can tell you I weigh 250 pounds and it had no problem supporting my weight. It was certainly good for more. It was also more comfortable than the usual cheaper models.

I don't know the official weight limit. I was 260 at my highest and was using the bar with no problem.

I'm 190 lbs and it has no problem supporting me. I would say 200-220 may be close to its limit. it is not a heavy duty piece of furniture that is going to take a lot of abuse. My goes mostly unused. Used by guests and cat only.

I would guess at least two hundred pounds, it's very study. Check the measurement of the width, that could be a problem for a bigger person.

No, you don't need a barre. It would be handy to have one, but you can just use a chair. You just need something sturdy you can use for balance.
