What's the inside height of the rack? Anyone able to do overhead presses inside? I am 5'10 with a 32 sleeve. Thanks.

I'd have to go measure, but the specs say 83". I'm 5'9", and I can't OHP inside the rack. I just put the J-Hooks on the outside and press from there.

You won't be able to do an overhead press inside (I'm 5'9" and would only be able to get the bar about 3/4 - 4/5 of the way up before hitting the top support). It's close, you might be able to do an overhead squat since your arms are more spread out, but that'll more so depend on how wide your grip is on those.

It's not quite 79". I can do them (at 5'7" with shortish arms), but not sure anyone much taller could.

No. I am 6'0" and cannot do overhead presses inside the rack. However, I can do an overhead squat, but just barely. I plan on modifying the rack by extending the uprights with wood or metal to provide 6" of additional clearance.

I'm 5'9" and it is right at the top for me when I overhead press inside the rack. So if you are 5'11" probably not.

Hard to say. The inside measurement on a regular olympic bar is 52" and the inside measurement of the 5' bar is 42." Just depends on the width of your rack.

This thing is masive. The hieght is 84" but you need more hieght then that to be able to do pullups/chin ups on front bar. The lifting bar is 6', and you need room on both sides to add and remove wieghts. You will also need at least 9-10', because the bench is very long and sits in front of the machine. Overall, if you have the space, this is a fantastic machine. It is however extremely hard to put together, and does not come witrh the weights,that cost about $300.00

Dallin,No issues with height whatsoever. I'm 5'11 and I take it to the 6th hole for the adjustment. It has plenty more extension. I use it for squats once a week and it hasn't presented a problem yet, even with 400 plus pounds. Good luck bro, it's a great rack to own.

1-3/4" into a 2-1/4" hole. Great investment. It does everything that I would do @ the gym. You may want to place a weight on the bench when u do overhead tricep extensions. The bench tends to raise. I don`t consider that a problem. I would recommend this product to anyone. One thing. The bench I have IS a BODY SOLID bench. That may be why it fits well.

Yup I use it for bench all the time with my Olympic set. I take the safety bars off though because it's too high. There is still a "safety bar" when you bench it's just that the frame itself fulfills the role. I have long arms I'm 6'4 and it's been adequate.

Hi this sleeve ran tight it supposed to be snug but if they do any lifting or have a large biceps it may be to tight for comfort on the top ban. I'd recommend trying a few on in a sporting goods store and then ordering for the best price.

You'd have to call them and ask. I've thought of it myself when I bought it, and it has holes for a second one, at least mine does. I was going to see if they'd send a new chin up bar if I claimed the one I had was warped, but after I got it I didn't find it necessary, and the one that's there I occasionally bang my head on when racking and unracking a squat, so it'd be an issue every time you got into the rack even for average height. The overall structure of the unit is pretty good without an extra chin up bar. I've had 500lbs racked without problem, and I've also done dips with my 330lb body on it by placing two barbells across the safety pins with no complaints, I've also turned the existing chin bar there into an adjustable lat/ab/tricept pull down cable machine by attaching pulleys to it. No complaints whatsoever. As long as you dont do plank pullup side twists with the bar, which would be hard to do with the rack, it will hold.

No problem. Im working out with two guys 6'3""tall. Using it for squats, standing presses. Good deal for the price

To be honest I think it will bee too close for comfort. From collar to the end of the threads is, about a foot or more alone. Meaning it has more room for weights than any buyer expects in my opinion. From collar to collar (the center) is the exact length of almost every stainless easy curl bar (not long) I can barely get a wide grip on it. (I'm 5'11"). If I were you I would not buy this for a bench man. Don't do it. Get it if you need a straight bar strictly for curls and french presses. With the outsides of my hands touching the weights I get a halfway decent overhead press but I say that because I do mine just alittle outside of shoulder width. Don't bench with it man. DONT!! Sorry I don't have a measuring tape but I feel u need the info. *WeTryYouWin*

I am also 5 ft tall and unfortunately do not find the Schwinn 431 comfortable. Maybe I have short arms! I cannot use the arms without overreaching and getting unbalanced. My husband is trying to modify it as I type. I urge anyone considering any kind of sports equipment to try it out and do so with the proper technique Before Buying! Every body is proportionately different even if you are the same size and weight! Good Luck!

Im 6'4" and it worked for me, I had to put it just below the highest setting for squats. It's a pretty compact, but the black bar at the bottom can actually be removed just by loosening some hand screws. It makes it possible to store the rack as 3 separate narrow pieces if you need to.

We have a guy who is 5'7", 135 in our gym. He got an A1, and it's about right. Definitely don't get an A2; I'm 5'10", 165, and while it fits me, there's still room to go.

There are many variables. For instance, my heavy bag (Everlast Omnistrike 80lb Heavy Bag- http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-Omni-Strike-Heavy-80-Pound/dp/B005OGX642/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388245584&sr=8-1&keywords=omnistrike+c3) came with several attachments for the top of the bag in order to attach it to the stand. One of those attachments is a chain that allows you to further lower the bag up to about 6 inches from the original height. That being said, the attachment point for the stand is at 80 inches for punching and about 66 or 67 inches for knees. I will mention though that adjusting the bag can be a bit difficult (it's not the weight of the bag as much as it's the way that Everlast decided to hold the cable in place in position for each activity), so I utilized the chain that was included with my bag and I managed to set the bag at a height of about 60 inches at the top, giving me space for punches and knees. It removes the ability for some high punches, but it's much easier than having to adjust the stand over and over and it allows for combinations of punches and knees at the same height.

I'm not sure on the exact measurements of the inside of the gripz. I just know that it fits over most barbell, dumbell, curlbar and pull-up bar's. They are also good to train with on any pull-down machine or cable machine.Thanks,Mike Ramirez

Mine is also the Rack Pro. It weighs 30 lbs. It doesn't come with weights but I am thinking of getting some. In the meantime, it is doing more reps. :-)
