Will this bar bend significantly with 600 pounds on it?

It will flex, but does not damage the bar. I use it for 315 bench, 405 squat, and 455 deadlift. In my opinion 600lbs would probably be too much flex for squats, meaning it will do a little up and down wobble with such weight. I don't do anything at 600lbs, and love the bar. Hope that helps.

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people

I've put 425 on and it had some bend, but another 200 lbs makes a difference.

That depends upon how it's attached to the wall. The bar itself will hold up to more than 350lbs. Plenty sufficient to for very obese especially if their feet are on the floor.

I believe that it will. I weigh 350 and it doesn't bend when I use it. I would imagine that it will hold 375 no problem.

You should be able to do that. However, if you tow something heavy, the bar might get damaged.

If you are under 100 pound it won't flex but if you are over it has about a a quarter inch of give. You will get a lot of preasure cracks though so don't be too alarmed about that goodluck

I am not sure if it can but I would say if I was looking to move around that kind of weight I would look into a more sturdy rack that weighs more and has the ability to be bolted down if needed. This rack moves around even when using 200lbs and while nothing has been dented the few times I have dropped weights on it I think 800+ lbs might cause some damage to the safety bars in my opinion.

It will bend. I have used these for several years and started because of the cost. It was low cost and served its purpose. Life span seems to be 2-3 years so you will probably have to replace. Thus cost has to be considered.

Sorry brother, cannot answer your question. I do know the seating surface must be flat. Units do not bend very much.Jeff

It is a really solidly built bar. Just make sure you anchor it solidly (hit the studs). I doubt the bar itself would give way. The welds seem really solid to me, and I'm a big man.

No, I have bent some 1/8 by 1 pieces but even that wasn't very easy or very clean. I doubt it would ever bend a 6 inch wide piece properly.

Mine is holding a 180lb Sharp 80". No issues at all and no bending or bowing. You'll be fine

Probably not as the bar is designed to rest against a door frame on the front and then above the normal door molding above the door on the back-side. So I would say not.

I would say it is capable of bending to 90 degrees. However, it will take tremendous amount of effort to do so and it will be dangerous

It does bend easy. If a kid holds on to the top horizontal bar it will bend. suggest reinforcing it by internally placing a small diameter thicker gauge pipe.

While it certainly wouldn't hurt to use a bunkie board, I haven't seen a need for it personally. At 215 lbs I do feel them flex when I'm on it, but only a little bit. After 'long' term use I haven't noticed any of the bars bending from overloading.

I doubt it! Ive had 3 guys sitting on it, all 200+, and didnt notice any bending!

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink
