Pull-ups are a terrific exercise for the shoulders, the lats, the abs, and the back. I do not trust doorjam pull-up bars, so I wanted a more traditional bar to mount in the garage. Rather than a wall-mount bar, I prefer a ceiling mount (no kicking the wall). I found just what I was looking for at New York Barbells.

This pull-up bar is very strong and stable. It is built to last, the welds are superb - nothing cheap about this piece of equipment. It mounts on a 2x4 or 2x6 o r 2x8 ceiling rafter with 4 vertical lag screws and two horizontal lag bolts/screws. It takes two people to secure the mount on the ceiling. It mounts best directly against the rafters. If you have a finished ceiling (as I do), it is best to punch two holes in the sheetrock to get a flush mount against wood (no intervening sheet rock). Once mounted, it is rock solid. It has three different modes to do pull-ups, the traditional way, wide-angled lat pull-up, and peg/handles that come out perpendicular for pull-ups with turned wrists. All three work slightly different muscle groups. With a chair to place one leg on, assisted pull-ups are easy to do.

I searched the internet for a bar like this one, and I am 100% satisfied with the product, the installation, and the final result.

This bar is working out great for me. Allows for at least four styles of Chin-Up/Pull-Ups. Caution: Make sure you pay attention to the available space at the particular joist you intend to attach it to realizing that your knees and feet do swing during these exercises.

I'm not at all a fan of the door frame pull up bars. I'm a big guy 6'3 225 and never felt comfortable doing my pull ups in a standard door frame. They're convenient but lacked the feel (sturdiness) I was looking for so I went to Amazon. I found this joist mounted pull up bar and am more than pleased. The install was VERY easy with a drill and a little elbow grease and it's not going anywhere lol. I guess the disadvantage is you have a semi permanent pull up bar hanging from your ceiling. In my case it's in the basement but with the added support and room it's night and day for me. Construction is great, install was easy and once again it's very sturdy. Very pleased with this purchase and will likely use New York Barbell for additional equipment in the future.
