I would think so. There are 3 cables and they seem to be very sturdy. I wish your cousin success with his pull up !

Instructions say do not use if you weigh more than 220 lbs https://perfectonline.com/downloads/PU%20Assist%20UG-web%209-12v2.pdf

I am under 120 and use it regularly but I have a son who is 210 who uses it occasionally and I have had a friend who is near 300 who used it a few times. It seems to be able to hold the weight fine while assisting with p/ups.

Measure where you want the bar and then with no clothes on the lower bar, tighten by hand very tightly. Test your measurement with one item, such as a shirt, and make sure both sides of the bar are even so bar is straight. The use a ratchet tool with a lot of muscle or a power tool to really tighten hardware. I was sad at first thinking this was a bad design but it does work with the right tools and is a nice feature.

I'm sure. I've only ever hooked it up to chainlink fence or squat rack at the gym, but at 240-lbs. I've never worried once that it won't hold me. I would trust the door frame with your size. Hope this helps.

Sorry but the bar itself cannot be lowered. try a doorway pull up bar, I got a multi grip one on Craigslist for 20$

Hello, If the pull up bar has a traight part and you have like 30/ 40 centimeters above to get youre feet in it will work on every thing. I,m not a seller but these things make you happy, i ,am for having them, thay also feel realy secure, it,s realy the best you can have!. Good luck with it.

For an incline it could depending on his torso size. But depending on the exercise it could work. I would suggest looking else where. My head barely fits when its flat bench and im 5ft 9

I don't need it to help support me like a regular cane, but I believe it work for that. You might check on the maximum weight they suggest. I'm 180 lbs and it was OK but maybe not a whole lot more. Good Luck

Get the Elite version of this bar--it comes with a crossbar that keeps the pull-up bar stable. If u have that version but want to stabilize it more, use a couple 40+ lb dumb bells on the bottom bars to weigh it down. Works great for me and I'm a 220 pound 6'2" dude.

I weigh 240 and have no problems with the height adjuster. It has 5 caster wheels so it can handle a lot more than my weight

I wish I could help. It was a gift for my nephew who is 6'4" and over 250 lbs.

You may not be able to do full range of motion chinups. I have a similar setup and I can't go down all the way on my chins and I most often only rise up to the point where my nose is at the bar to avoid hitting the ceiling. 6 ft tall.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

Yes. It will take some adjusting to get the relationship between the shoulders and the hip barproperly set, and it will work for shorter people.

I'm 210 lbs and have done pull ups with and without a chair with no issues. The bar is stable but you should avoid any rocking motions. I have the bar in my basement and floor to rafters is 84" high. There's about 3" of clearance. I have the bar positioned so that when doing a pullup, my head goes inbetween the rafters. You can't beat it for the price.

Rated at 320 lbs or 145 kg but I wouldn't feel comfortable near that. I'm 5'10" and 180 lbs it is perfect. I have to mind what I'm sitting on though. The frame flexes - a good bit torsional, so it may be pretty wobbly with someone of that size. If he's careful it should be fine. I just wouldn't plop down into it very hard or try to turn around without getting up out of it. It's pretty low to the ground so it would almost be like squatting for him. My next chair purchase for when I can carry a little more weight and bulk will be a Kermit chair from Tennessee.. Might be worth a look.

my husband and i weigh together over 240 lbs and it works for us, i suggest you to buy 3 inches or higher inches to ensure comfort. ps, we use the platform bed, you will need a box mattress if used in other types of beds
