Default Tower and squats

I just ordered the tower to do with Meso 3... can I adjust the brackets on the tower so that I can use the barbell in a standing position?...

The tower is not marketed as a squat rack but at 5' 3" tall, if I put the brackets as high as they can go, I should be able to make use of it as a squat rack. I'd have to bend at the knees a bit to get my shoulders underneath the barbell but it beats hoisting a heavy BB over my head!

If you are much taller then me I'm thinking it won't work though...

HTH!

No, I am 5'2"... and I won't be lifting anything near the 350 pound limit; I think that is what the limit is. Thanks, I should get it by Tuesday and will try it out. I start Meso 3 week after next, I am doing my last desk for meso 2 tonight.

The weight limit for the tower is 350 pounds but I think the weight limit for the brackets is 100#....just an FYI...
