Would you say this bar is decent or good for building/working lat muscles or even just general back muscles? Thanks!

No, you could get a little back work with it though not very good. I'd buy a bar made for working the back.

Nah, this bar is too short for back (lats) workouts. I had got it for arm curls. What you're looking for is a "lat bar". It's twice the length - and curves slightly downwards at the end of the bars.

It's not really wide enough to use for back. I use it for triceps and biceps only.

No question that the bar when properly installed is sturdy and stable enough to support a normal weight. But I think it might be tough to pull yourself up from a sitting position with just this bar, depending on how good your balance is as you pull yourself up.

The squat bar is sturdy enough for 405 maybe more but I don't need to go any heavier. What I did was purchase and olympic bar as well.

Well, I can't tell you exactly how wide the bar is but it is pretty wide. It looks small in the picture. I can hit my lats really good on it. The color is actually black. I recommend you buy it.

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question. Amos

You don't have to use a pull up bar. I use free weights. The chin up bar is just an option. Gamma is awesome!

I am not sure what aspect your questioning, but the bar is great. It can be low enough for children and even though it is soft touch, be mindful that it is metal. There is nothing cushy about this very stable bar.

I am not familiar with 'Barstarzz' or 'Barbarian' workouts" , but you can do kipping or butterfly pull-ups and should have no problem doing any kind of muscle-up. I weigh 226 and feel secure with the activies.

This is a great bench for back excercises, it works the abs too but I don't know if you could use it for doing situps easily. I find if you lift yourself up when doing the back extensions it hits the abs pretty hard.

YES, is excellent for hip thrusts, not too big, not too small and will not slice across the bar. Comfortable enough to not feel the bar on hips or legs, obviously you NEED to HOLD the bar and place all perfectly in the middle(pad on bar and you under the pad)

The lat bar is 44". This information came directly from the manufacturer. I wanted to verify first before getting back to you. If you need anything else, please let me know.Thank you,Michael LyonsProfessional Fitness Concepts

I would say its fine for you. I'm 5' 10" and I didn't have any issues. It's very well made and I think it works fine for any body type. I worked out with a guy who was probably 5'7" and he was find with it as well. I hope this helps I think you will be pleased with this Hex Bar if you were to buy it. It's also very sturdy and durable for the price.

I bought this bar last Christmas and was really happy with it. It ranges from 36" to 60" and I would say it is good for up to 200 lbs. I have done mill circles on it and I am 5'9" and 150 lbs.

It's stable enough for strict pull-ups - a little shaky on kipping pull-ups. I've tried toes-to-bar a few times. Again, if you have a lot of kip/backswing in your t2b, then it'll feel a little shaky.

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

I have found my bar to be very solid, with no movement even on kipping pull-ups. Added weight would be no problem.
