If I buy the 52.5 lb set will the bars hold up to 100 or are they to short?

The 52lb and 100lb set use the same size bar, as with anything else i would double check with the supplier. I have the 100lb set and they come with 8-10lb plates per bar, it looks like the 52.5 is 8-5lb plates and will fit on the same bar.

Look up the 102.5-LB set and check the length of the bars, then compare that to the length of the bars listed on the 52.5-LB set.

Just measured them 5.5".... you can possibly make the handlebar shorter if the 5.5" won't work for you

A friend of mine did some dips on them. He's about 200lbs. It didn't look totally stable, and I don't know how long the welds would hold if you did this repeatedly.

It would work fine for you. We have someone at 215 using ours. We did end up buying a bigger barbell after using this one a while and fighting our hand placement on this bar.

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

The bars are 50" apart... Very easy to move forward and squat, they are adjustable in ht as well;)

You can put 5 of the 10 pound plates on each side for 105 lbs. Or 5 of the 10 lb. plates and 2 of the 5 lb. plates for 115 lbs. But the collars don't screw all the way on if you do, its about 2 turns from even with the end. The bar is long enough to hold 6 of the 10 lb. plates on each side for a total of 125 lbs. But the collars only tighten 1/4 of the way they should. Not recommended!

I haven't looked for 45 lb plates. I'm sure you can find them, I'd say the diameter of the bars are about 1 inch. However, I am not sure if the bar can hold over 120 lb. It's sturdy but only for the given weights; anything over the 100 lb weights given would make me nervous when using it with the bar.

100 lb barbell sets are pretty common. If you want more plates you can buy them at almost any department store.

Some of mine weighed more than 3lbs (5lbs.). I got 32 bars. They were boxed separately.

They should be fine. I'm 6'0 and I don't struggle at all. Actually a pretty good set for the price. I bought them 2 years ago and used them plenty and they have held together very well. Hope this helps.

The weight of the bar is minimal maybe 2 pounds will hold between 80-100 lbs of additional weight.

I never tried them with 700 lbs....I can say with lower weights at zero degree inclination they lock quite well, nevertheless they work looking the bar by a combination of putting a fix amount of pressure on the bar plus the angle you incline the bar, in theory the real maximum weight it will support is the weight with the bar totally vertical, since that amount of pressure is constant and you cannot adjust it with the hand then it will support a maximum amount of weight (I am not sure how much), anything above that maximum will wore out. I would at 700 lbs you should care a lot about safety and get an adjustable lock.

I have a 48" on there right now. it's on a little stand that's about a foot long so it fits. I think if your 52" is on a stand it will work but the warnings on the side say not to go above 44".

They are rated for 350 lb, and what I am lifting is about 250 lb. I would not try lifting over the rated 350 lb.

I actually haven't gone over the 100 lb mark but, if you used larger plates the bars are sturdy enough to go much higher
