Answer #1 on June 24, 2017[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Does weights come with it?” style=”arrow”]Weights sold separately!
Answer #1 on January 17, 2017[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can you do an upper body workout on this machine?” style=”arrow”]Overhead presses and shrugs are possible.
Answer #1 on September 18, 2019[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How much weight can I put in this machine?” style=”arrow”]You will likely max out at ~540lbs (six 45lb plates on each side). It has a center beam that supports the weight carriage, and it tends to sway a bit under load. Though I’ve never done it with mine, I question the stability above 540lbs (besides, the only way you could go above 540lbs would be to use 100lb plates which is a hassle).
Answer #1 on November 27, 2015

It says up to 800 lbs but I don’t see the room for all that, I have 450 on my 5 45 plates each side
Answer #2 on November 28, 2015[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can you face out and hack squat?” style=”arrow”]No, all angles would be totally wrong, plus it would be impossible to get to the safety stopper. If you did manage to manouvre yourself into the machine face out, the movement would have been something between a reverse hack lift and a vertical squat.
Answer #1 on May 20, 2016[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Do you need to keep weights on/near the base? All the pictures show the weights on the base. Is it stable without them in place?” style=”arrow”]Its fine without plates at the base. You dont need the extra weight to keep it stable. This machine has a very wide stance as it is, and its very heavy all by its self.
Answer #1 on December 24, 2014[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What is the weight of the carriage?” style=”arrow”]170 lbs
Answer #1 on June 22, 2017[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is it possible to go lower than parallel, looks like the spring handle will hit the main upright before reaching depth.” style=”arrow”]Yes you can. When you get positioned, stand up and the move the spring loaded handle out of the way. There are some other bars that stick out further down to prevent the weights from crashing to the floor…Hope this helps
Answer #1 on August 25, 2016[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Hi I have a small gym. Can be used in gym?” style=”arrow”]A small gym should be okay for this machine.
Answer #1 on April 2, 2018[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”is the squatting done straight up and down or at an angles or both?” style=”arrow”]You can choose whether to stand with your feet flat on the floor (on the very slim anti-slide plate) or to use the angled platform closer to the vertical arm. To be honest, I haven’t even tried standing on the floor plate since I almost immediately found that the angled platform gave my quads an insane beating. I prefer to stand as high up on the platform as possible because I then can squat very deep. And deep squatting (even when you go beyond your one rep max for standard squats) with this machine is undoubtedly easier on the knees than regular squats. On the other hard, it’s much harder on the upper and middle back muscles
Answer #1 on June 30, 2015[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Will this fit with 7′ ceiling?” style=”arrow”]Absolutely. Since in the upright position your body is not vertical, you can be almost as tall as the height of the room itself. In my training room, with the ceiling at 6′ 11” inches and me being 5′ 11”, the clearance is almost exactly 10 inches. So you need to be 6′ 9” or more to before encountering any problems.
Answer #1 on June 21, 2018[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”The lever to do squats is too hard to push in. Did I tighten it too much?” style=”arrow”]Hard to say, but could be over tightened. I push the lever in where to bend is. Handle end is a little harder to do. Still use the machine a couple of times a week and very happy with it.
Answer #1 on April 8, 2020[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Does anyone know how this machine compares to the TDS version? i am stuck between the two. I run a strength training studio for women.” style=”arrow”]Never heard of TDS but when this squat machine came in along with the other Body-Solid equipment I purchased, I was shocked at how good the quality was for the price. Made very well. I squat a minimum of 180lbs and it’s solid.
Answer #1 on April 8, 2020[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can I use standard plates?” style=”arrow”]Must be a 2” inch opening.
Answer #1 on April 8, 2020[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Will it work for people 6’2” and up?” style=”arrow”]Yes, I am 6’3″. It takes a little effort to get in it but it was the best total body workout I have ever did. I stacked over 400lbs on it too.
Answer #1 on April 14, 2019[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Is it okay to use metal Olympic plates with this equipment?” style=”arrow”]Absolutely. It’s a very well built for home use. I honestly was very surprised when it was delivered. I currently have around 200-250 lbs of weight on it now. I use it not only for squats but for calf raises too. Nice piece of equipment.
Answer #1 on September 19, 2018[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Regular squats hurt my knees, is this machine easier on the knees and does it give the same result? Thanks.” style=”arrow”]Yes, it is a thousand times more easy on the knees. Even on days when body weight squats cause severe pain no matter how much I warm up, chances are quite good that I can train all the way to failure with this magnificent piece of equipment. In the bottom position, your knees are well behind the heels, giving you a perfect angle for pressing up with minimal knee joint stress. For lifters with bad knees, this machine is pure paradise.
Answer #1 on November 8, 2018[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can you perform a single leg squat comfortably on this machine?” style=”arrow”]I would not recommend. This unit is designed for 2 legged squats. It is not a unilateral/ isolateral movement. Loading the machine and performing this type of movement will cause undue force on both the user and the machine.
