Installing a wall mounted pull up bar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video, I unbox and mount a "Merax" pull-up bar. It turned out to be a bit of a project spanning a couple of days, but the results were well worth it and I'm very happy with how it worked out. That said, had I to do it again, I would go with the "XMark" version of basically the same bar simply because it has holes for two lags at the highest stress point above the bar.
Update 8/15: After some use, I'm not sure I'm sold on the resistance bands for assisted pull-ups. The bar itself is doing great and the super fat bar grips are awesome both for preventing my rings from tearing up my fingers and for increasing the grip strength required to hang on. Overall I highly recommend the grips, but not the resistance bands. At this point, I'm doing my "can't do a real pull-up" pull-ups by squatting on a bench placed under the bar and making it a full-body workout.

This was very instructive! Thank you for posting this.
Appreciate the post! Excellent, quality work... a pull-up bar mounted for the ages!
thanks for this.
I really wanna do this but worried about hitting wires and pipes
Did you just like how it looks with that many lag screws in between the brackets? If not, that is big time overkill. Looks good though!
Personally, I'm a fan of both how it looks and overkill as a concept. =)
is there a reason you didn't just drill it into the studs? without the wood backboard/? i just bought a station and tring to figure out whats best
High loads like this can crush drywall. The backer boards spread out the compression load on the lower mounts.
Where did you get lag screws ?
You can get them at any hardware store.
What size wood?
I used reclaimed 2x6s that I planed down smooth. Because you're mostly preventing crushing the drywall as opposed to being particularly structural, you could probably get away with 1/2". No matter what size you go with, make sure the lags on the bar go into studs in the wall.
@@cilynxhello, quick question I wanted to use a similar design such as yours for my titan fitness pull bar however the studs in my garage are are uneven and only have studs 48 inches apart that can possibly compensate the 50in bar. Would using a base such as yours be enough to hold the bar up?
