Ultimate Body Press Ceiling Mount Pull Up Bar

The best place in my exercise room for a pull up bar was the ceiling, and this bar is absolutely perfect. The room has a 7 ft ceiling and I mounted it on two ceiling joists that were 24 inches apart. The installation template that came with the bar to show where to drill the holes worked perfect. My joists were about 1.5 inches wide and I mounted it 8 inches from the start of an angled wall (would not have worked on the angle wall, had to be the ceiling). I’m 5 ft 10 and was a little worried about my head hitting the ceiling when I did a pull up, but the distance from the ceiling to the bar is perfect (its exactly 16.25 inches from the ceiling to the lowest point on the center of the bar). I thought about mounting a 2X6 board between the two risers and the ceiling like others have done, but it just wasn’t needed in my setup (and with only a 7 foot ceiling I didn’t want the bar any closer to the floor than it had to be) I was also a bit worried about how sturdy it would be but it turned out solid. I’m 180 pounds and there’s no movement or sway at all when I use it. Its anchored into the ceiling tight. I also hung suspension bands from the bar and did a workout just to test the weight limit, and it worked fine … no movement in the bar at all. The multiple different hand positions / grips make this a lot better than the straight pull up bar I grew up with (and the grips on this are very well padded). Installation took a little over an hour because I carefully measured and used a stud finder to ensure I drilled into the middle of the joists. The following tips that others put in their reviews helped a ton: > When you drill the pilot hole with the 5/16 drill bit, make sure the depth of the hole is 3 inches (measured AFTER the bit is installed in the drill) > Don’t tighten the allen wrench bolts all the way until the very last step (it’s easy to finish that last step and attach the bar to the risers, after the risers are mounted to the ceiling) > Use a 17mm (or 11/16) ratchet to attach the risers to the ceiling (I used a 17mm drill attachment) It turned out perfect and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a ceiling pull up bar.

I have been using this bar for about a year and a half now and it has been the central piece of my home workout routine. I love the stability and the different grip options. I also use ab straps and gym rings in conjunction with this bar, and it holds up like a CHAMP. I would read some other reviews who have advice on installation, it's not that hard, but I seem to remember using a slightly smaller drill bit than what was recommended to ensure a more secure hold. I started using this bar when I was around 210 lbs and it has faithfully held up to my current weight at 165. The padding DOES twist on the bar a bit depending on your grip, which didn't really bug me that much, but if you use wrist straps (highly recommend) it's not an issue at all. VERY happy with this bar and I will take it with me when I move and use it wherever I end up. Super solid, great product, gamechanger.

Was easy to install with 16 inch joists, following tip to use 1/4 in drill bit to pilot holes. Feels solid and looks good

Installed bar in about 30 minutes and is a very sturdy mounting - I'm 270 lbs and no issues noted! It's an excellent addition to my garage gym!

Very sturdy. It doesn't budge when I lift my entire 240 lb self up. I anchored it in my garage ceiling, and it's anchored in horizontal 2x4 truss members. My only complaint is that it didn't come with installation instructions. It was easy enough to figure out, but it should probably have instructions.

Very well made and well designed. Comes with a template for easy drilling pilot holes into your anchor studs. Soft grips on the hand grips are a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

Product is as-described and as-expected. The foam over the grips does not rotate on mine, as some reviewers have complained, and dimensions were accurate. The designers did a good job of making this bar drop far enough that you're not concerned about slamming your head on the ceiling, but kept the height low for those of us without high ceilings. The included lag bolts are really massive though. I used structural screws instead, which are stronger despite being smaller, from the extras from hanging overhead storage racks. I didn't use the lag bolts that came with those, either. They're cheaper for the manufacturer, but we have better fasteners available now.

Cushioned grips are not slipping on me at all. Rock solid across the board. Was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the negative reviews. This is a great product for the $$. Highly recommend.

Two years now and very happy. Solved many shoulders issues. Excellent quality into the fabrication.

Mi primera calificación fue hace 8 meses, ahora con el uso que le he dado durante este tiempo he decidido aumentar de 4 a 5 estrellas. Recibí el envío en buen estado y en las condiciones acordadas con el vendedor. La instalación es sencilla, sólido en su construcción y sencillo de ensamblar pero resistente, los materiales son buenos las soldaduras y uniones con tornillos siguen en excelente estado sin daños visibles.

I ordered the product knowing I had to install 2 oversized noggins in my garage ceiling [my garage ceiling joists spacing varies across the structure]. On supply, I found that the spacing for the the support bracket lag bolts is 130mm c/l to c/l so noggins were installed to suit. Installation was simple by following the instructions once the noggins were installed. See the photo showing the final installed position [the pencil markings have yet to be removed]. The pullup bar is strong and secure. It is great to use.

I'm 6'2" and 200 lb. I mounted this pull up bar on my 9' garage ceiling. I couldn't be happier with my choice. It is rock solid and gives multiple grip positions. All grip positions are comfortable with optimal diameter of the bar and very nice padding. Easy to install, although I didn't depend entirely on the template, but used a Franklin stud finder for added precision of locating anchor points. I also didn't have a 5/16" drill bit, so I used a 19/64" bit out of my "Easy-Out" kit, so I had to set my drill to reverse rotation to drill the holes. It worked just fine. I looked into other ceiling mounted pull up bars, but they were just straight bars with no padding. I can't say it enough .... this is the one! I know I bought the right one.

Pero la guia de Ejercicios a todo color, no venia en el paquete, como la podria obtener? Gracias
