Ceiling Mount Pull Up Bar with 48” Straight Bar and 14” Risers, Fits 16” and 24” Joist by Ultimate Body Press

I installed a pull up bar using pipes from a hardware store previously. The issue was weakness at the pipe threads. Because I was concerned about getting injured, I shopped around and this was the only I could find for around 100$ that had a non-moving bar. I also wanted a simple single bar, not a double bar. The pros are it is easy to install, it doesn’t budge, even when I (accidentally) kip. I weight 220 pounds, so that says a lot. The bar is appropriate length and circumference for a proper grip. I am 5’7 and installed on 9 foot rafters it’s perfect. I need to hop up or use small step. This is good, as I don’t want my feet to touch the ground. The screws, nuts and bolts are correct. The disadvantage is it’s expensive for what it is, three pieces of painted metal and some nuts and bolts with a greasy wrench and hex.. The “wrench” is kind a joke, it It can be used. A drill bit would have been more useful. The grip is too smooth, like most pull up bars. Like most fitness equipment, grips are either too smooth, or knurled to the point they rip up your hands. I use tennis ratchet grips (it took six) to wrap it. It is probably a foot too wide, not an issue, as you could attach accessories to the extra space and do really wide pull ups. It would be helpful for it to include a cutout on the box for install. You definitely need another person or straps to install it. Time will tell, but it’s great so far. I do think it’s a bit expensive for what it is, but nothing else really compares. The inconveniences are minor, so would recommend.
