Maximum Muscle Wall-Mounted Pullup Bar

The bar itself is great. The mounting instructions could use some work though. They assume you're going to use screw anchors to mount it in wallboard and I'm not convinced. Since the mounting holes are not on 16" centers I bolted the pullup bar itself to a 2x10x36" board using 1/4" nuts and bolts and then used 1/4" lag screws to screw the board to 3 studs 3 screws per stud. After all that it's pretty solidly mounted but it took some work.More detail ...

Good for the price

I'll agree with the other reviewers that this thing is sturdy. I weigh 220 and it holds me with ease. I'll also agree that the placing of the hand grips is bad. The bar extends in one direction so you end up with a hand grip that is butted right up against the door frame. Yes you can move the grips. But 1.) it's a pain and 2.) your grip will become uneven because the extension pole is smaller in diameter than the stationary pole.



But for the $$$ it works fine for me. I am planning on putting up a more permanent pullup bar (joist mounted) in my basement so I won't have to deal with the grip thing much longer.More detail ...
