Questions & Answers

Ask a Question

Can you explain why these would not work for squats? is it just the height that stand extends to or is there another feature that is on the BD 8 or 9 that makes it better for squatting? I am only 63’ tall so am thinking the max height on these may work fine for me.

Since the BD-2 doesn't have as much height as the other stands it can be challenging depending on your height but you can do squats with the BD-2 stands if it works for your height.
Can these be used for decline bench press?

Yes, the BD-2 can be used for decline bench press. The minimum height for the top bar hook is 33.75" and if needed the safety catch can be utilized as well which is lower in height.
As owner of a Valor Fitness BD-9 squat stand I have the following question: Does the safety catch of these BD-2 bench press stands fit into my BD-9 stand? I have a recurrent lower back issue and I am looking for a solution to perform shoulder pushes without the necessity to lift the barbell from the ground to shoulder height at the beginning of every series, if you get my meaning. The J-hooks of my BD-9 are too narrow to be comfortable for this purpose. I need a wide catch to put down or pick up the bar in a second without much aiming.

Unfortunately, the safety catches from the BD-2 are not meant to fit with any other item.
Can these be used as squat stands for someone who is 5'5?

It is not recommended for squatting, but if you start from the bottom position of the squat, it will work (although making the exercise considerably more difficult).

For squat stands, we would recommend the BD-8 or the BD-9.
Could you please confirm if these are sold as a pair?

Yes, these are sold as a pair.

How much do they weigh?

How much weight will it support?

outstands quality at a great price

Does the job for what’s needed. Easy to assemble and move around. I’m older and don’t use much weight so these stands are fine. Not sure how they would hold up with heavier weight though. Exactly what I wanted, I would purchase again.

Great product for tight spaces. Sturdy.

Nice design!!

I've only had the BD-2 independent weight bench for a couple of weeks but I am very satisfied with the purchase. The bench seems solid and well made and its works perfectly for my needs. I purchased the bench to replace a bench that was probably 30 years old. Since I planned to use an existing bar and older weights with one inch centers, this bench allowed me to vary the distance between the stands to accommodate my bar with only 42" between the hubs of the bar. That, coupled with a reasonable price, suited my needs. The bench arrived in a timely fashion and was undamaged during shipping. It was very east to assemble, though having metric tools made the process much easier. My major concern was the independent stands might not be steady on my tile floor, but the rubber feet work very well. Placing the stand's rear supports against a wall and loading some weight on the pegs also helped to make the set-up very steady and stable. The safety bars are also a reassuring feature.Also, I'd like to mention the assistance I received from Valor during my search for a bench.I had some questions about a few of their products and they were very prompt with answers to my questions, and I appreciated that.
