4.0 out of 5 stars Needs drilling to install, January 24, 2010

The bar is attached to the joist by four big bolts, not screws. So you
have to drill holes in the joist. Also, the bolts provided were not long
enough to go through the joist. I have standard 2" joists. So I bought
four bolts and nuts (3/8" diameter, 4" long, coarse pitch, cost $2.50 total
at Home Depot). Would have been nice to get the right bolts included.
Having said that, the pull-up bar is great, really solid, and using bolts
(rather than screws) means you never have to worry about it ripping out of
the wood.

Quick delivery, perfect packaging. The bolts were too short to go through a 2x10 the short way - most mounting must be to a 2xsomething, so that should be fixed. But otherwise all is great. Just gotta use it more. I can't even do 10 straight pullups. Love the options to do pullups, chinups, spread pulls, and side pulls.

The bar is sturdy and offers different grips for different pull/chin ups. I also like the grips that are in the bar for each position. I ended up reinforcing the studs to support my weight (215lbs) and so far everything is working fine. My only complaint is the same as everyone else: The bolts will not fit through standard studs; however it was a simple fix (about $4) at the hardware store. Once they correct the bolt size, everything will be fine.

On a side note if you are not great at pull ups you can purchase pull up bands that provide assistance through different size bands that you wrap on the bar and your knee/foot. You can use the different size bands until you can accomplish the amount of pull/chins ups you want on your own. This creates more space then purchasing a pull-up assist machine. I use the bands on this bar and it all works fine.
