If you are strong enough to do one unassisted pullup, this will help you to do more reps and build strength. If you can't do a single pullup on your own, I would suggest using a chair to start. Put the chair below the pullup bar and use your legs to help lift your weight. Your goal is to get to the point where you can lift all your weight with just your arms.

I'm not sure on the weight limit. At 173lbs it works pretty well for me. Hope that helps.

I dont recall the weight limit. It is not not the band itself but I think was in the instructions which I did not keep. Thinking it is 225 or 250. I really do like the product. Used to use a chair and this is much better and has varying levels of assist you can use. Sorry no definitive answer

The chin up bar nor the dip bars exceed the length of the base. So your body weight does not throw it off balance. I weigh 190 and I attach a 25lb weight to myself and I can do both wide grip and close grip pull-ups. Keep in mind, this machine isn't anchored to the floor. With enough aggressive shaking, it can lose its balance. Hope this helps.

Judging by the sturdy construction I would say you will be fine...also taking into consideration the angle of your exercise your full body weight will not be applied. If you have never done these before go slowly outward but beyond your physical strength. It won't take long to figure what your limit is. Be safe and enjoy

Unsure what weight these are rated. However with the ability to adjust the tension I found it quite easy to find the right setting. I am 6'1" 210lbs. Adjustments could be made so that very little exertion was required allowing me the ability to do 20+ pull ups with ease.

We used the plus version for my Mom, she weighed around 240. It is just an ok item, it can be difficult at times to lower or raise. We eventually just bought Mom an electric lift chair because she found the uplift cushion to be uncomfortable for sitting any length of time. We ended up just using it when we would take her to visit her family. The uplift is more of a makeshift solution, can be helpful sometimes but not for a longterm problem.

If your weight close or over 275 lb I think you should looking for other more expensive, heavyer products. I really don't know what will happen if the person who's weight reach or over that limit to use it.

I have not used it yet. I guess it depends how strong the woman is. Once the item is off the ground you need to be able to hold the weight too.

If you need something to support you weight you should install a handicapped grab bar. I find this to be well built but I doubt that it is designed to support a persons body weight.

You should be able to attach it to your pull-up bar, or any overhead bar or beam, but make sure it's something that can support your weight, including whatever it is you have the bar attached to!!

When i was purchasing this i could not find a published weight limit at all so i took a swing since it was so cheap and see what happened, im a big guy at just under 300 lbs and it worked great for me so if you less than that then it should work great :)

I am 260 lbs and I have used it although the recommended max is 230 I think. It bends in the middle some so there is more drag than a smaller person but is adequate.

For a women it is too heavy to lift. I am 41 and strong but this was too much. A man can handle it.

How much you "need" depends on your current strength level and what your goal is. For example I can press a 90lb barbell over my head, but I can't do an overhead press with the 30lb band standing with both feet on it. With one foot yes, but not both. I can curl close to a hundred pounds on a barbell. the 30lb band feels about the same when curling

I don't know. You'd need to ask the manufacturer. It seems pretty strong but I weigh only 123 lbs.

The height of the cage is very close to 7'. You might not be able to do a full pull up. If you had 2 extra inches in your ceiling: This cage is unique because of the lat attachment (highly recommended... it will give you nearly everything you find in a commercial gym), which requires 7'2". With the lat attachment you will be able to do rows and pull-downs, basically training the same muscles as a weighted pull-up, plus... you have all the other possibilities of upper and lower pulleys. Of course this cage is not inexpensive, and the option I am suggesting adds another $240, but it is WELL worth it. The height of the cage is very close to 7'.
