It's a great unit and meets almost all my needs. I've had it 4 months and I have only had to tighten the bolts once.

My only regret is that the 72" height is not the best for chin ups. I do them...

Well I finally bit the bullet and picked up my Northern Lights 72" Cross Box Squat Stand with Safety spotters.

Funny. I thought the same of the Ottawa kijiji inventory.

Do you have any recommendations on a 24" full rack? I'm a little limited on height though and would need under 80" or so.

The crossbox is found at

Any feedback on it?

York (US) version of site does not sell it, though they did give me a Canadian number I could try. I'll call tomorrow. The CAP one looks promising but it has mixed reviews in terms of overall...

Does anyone know of a Canadian retailer for this bar? I've searched the net and it seems to be available in Great Britain but not Canada. Has anyone in Canada had any luck finding a retailer?

Thanks for the link. How wide is the inside portion of the bar? (The distance between the two weight stops?)

Hi FatRuss

Thanks for your reply. You have me very curious. Do you have a link to the exact bar you use of the exact name of the bar? could you pose it here or PM me? The idea of a custom bar...

Thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know the proper names for the parts of a bar?

Is the portion from the end of the bar to the "weight stop" , where the weights go called the sleeve?

What is the "weigh stop" ridge...

Thanks for your insight. I was afraid that you were going to say it was cramped. I mapped it out and it looks like it would be way to narrow.

The bar you got looks nice, however it is for...

I have thought of an "option 4"

Use a 7' bar but shorten it by removing 4-6" off each sleeve. This would leave a shorter sleeve but might work. Has enyone ever done something like this?

I have heard that 7' standard bars "bounce" a lot more then 6' ones. Im currently using 6' bar that is rated for about 225 lbs and so far the bar bounce has been very little. Do 7' bars have a...

When you had the retrofit done, was it a single piece of metal that had to be replaced? It looks like only the bar on the floor connecting the two side floor bars (In the manual attached the part is...

Thanks for your thought.

Mech6.... Would you be able to make a similar brace for me? I am thinking of getting a Northern Lights 72" Cross Box Squat Stand

Was it difficult to get a new cross beam made at a shorter length? I have a similar problem as you, as I use standard plates with a 6' bar. I hadn't considered having a new one made. How much did...

Thats what I am thinking I will try to start. Im going to bring my bar with me in fact when I go to look at the rack to see if that option is really viable or not. Here is hoping it is.

Thanks...

Thanks for your feedback gym62richard. The rack issue was my only concern but seeing as I don't currently have a rack I figured I had some options in that regard.

Option 1: I've heard that some...
