What's the point of the typical pull up bars that are NOT straight? The ones which are straight in the middle and then tilt a little downwards towards the end..

@solidusm88 I personally think they are easier. The biomechanics of the movement are such that if your hands are on that slight slope it is easier to pull yourself up. That is why the military and World Record people use the straight bars. If you do need a pull-up bar at home this one is great:)

Hey ronzargoza, it is safe..I used it at a charity event for hours with kids on it the whole time swinging and kipping and then a 200 pound plus guy got on it..he only did one pull-up. Contact Trevor (the guy who sells it LOOK BELOW as OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED HIM) at trapezeriggingcom. He WILL get back to you about your concerns and then you can decide if this equipment is right for you and explain EXACTLY how it is made.:) Cheers, Crystal

II wish Carlo had demonstrated it outside so I could see how sturdy it is when a heavier person uses it for pull-ups outside

[cwestfitness]

@Fatelvis2 It is super sturdy. Carlo and I used it at a charity event outside on the grass and this big guy maybe 220 tried to do a pull-up and it was fine. The thing is solid. I had two big kids on there at one time as well must have been almost 300 pounds..no problem there either:)

Any Barbarians out there using this? How does it stand up to muscle ups? Looks like there's some side to side movement but I'm thinking of using sand bags on the base to add stability. Looks great though. .....

@rippedtothebone66 I haven't done muscle-ups on it but I have done pull-overs with tricep dips on the top bar and that works great. I also have had kids at a charity event taking flying leaps at it and it held up great for that too:) Oh and I am not a Barbarian:)

Your video is very inspiring. I am changing my lifestyle and trying to get fit. I am working on static hangs (hanging from the bar by hands for as long as possible) and I would appreciate it so much if you could make a video of your technique on this. Although my head's been down a long time I believe I can meet my goals!

Anyone ever used a USA (Universal Strength Apparatus) on this bar?

[JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

yea i want to get that bar too ... looks pretty good !

[kpvids2]

where did you buy that bar? and how much was it?

[Hayacafrita]

@cwestfitness But a straight bar may harm the wrists if you are an early begginer and have no idea of how to help your self up. Lots of people abandon because of small details.

Cute lady :)

Hey Crystal. Been using my bars for a few months now and I can back up everything you say. They are great. I had a custom 1.5" top bar made which I find more comfortable for doing slow muscle ups. BTW there is a photo of you in the London Metro today!
