Not trying to be a jerk, but shouldn't this have been a determening factor before you purchased it? Set it up and try it, if it doesnt work take it back!

Hi--being 6'6" myself I can understand your situation...most of the mass market stuff doesn't fit us guys...I prefer free weight stuff instead.

Good luck with whatever you do.

This reminds me of this guy the other day that was at the gym using the abbench thing. He was too tall for it and the middle of his back was where an average height person's head should be. It didn't look like it was working, but I didn't want to say anything (I usually don't when I see someone doing something wrong) but who knows, it might have been working.
