You do hang between the bars when doing chin ups. I'm pretty broad and can fit just fine though.

It was a PITA. You have to make sure all the screws are half way in to assemble it. That way you can still maneuver the legs as a units to make sure they are inserted properly in the top frame.

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.

I can see, by this pic, why you would think that but I never had any issue doing lat pull downs to my chest. Regardless of what machine I'm using, I usually have a slight lean backwards when I do them and my lean might be why I've never noticed an issue with it.

Pretty good.alot people complain about the seat wobble.when you have 1 tube inside another for the bench to slide to different positions its natural.just take your time make sure all bolts are tight.

It looks in place. Moves a little during ironing but not enough to matter in my opinion.

For me personally I don't have trouble doing neutral pull ups on it as is, it's a non issue for me. Hope that helps!

It actually works better with the thick chin up bars. They have a better grip. I love this boots, everybody at the gym asksme where i got them and its the best workout tool to get ripped and easy on your back. Love love love this boots and very strong. I got yhem about 3 years ago and they are the best. Hope this helps.

The Elite pull up bar is strong enough to do pull ups and chin ups, but there is movement in the unit even with the stabilizer bar. I don't think that it would be tall enough or stable enough for rings. Its a great piece of portable equipment but too much movement for rings, I think. Also side poles would interfere with doing rings.

There is some movement but not to the extent it may tip over. From dips on the other side to pull ups on the other, I find this Power Tower is very well built and stable.

If you use good form it doesn't but if you swing and jerk you will hit the pad. I only do pull-ups with wide grip I don't really do chin-ups.

I have noticed no movement but my daughter cranked on the snug downs with her body weight kneed in the seat so I didn't expect any. I am also not an expert. Trust your feelings, Luke.

There is some play. I use it for my bike rack, and the movement is not excessive.

I am able to paddle sitting up, and leaning over. Sometimes during my cycling I do push ups, to work my arms. I'm considering buying a small set of dumbells to work my arms while cycling.

not really sure what to tell you. I'm still quite early in the workout . I'm trying to get the first sequence of the first six moves learned so I can progress to the next sequence. It seems like a good workout and is not very strenuous , at least to start out. He stresses posture in the workout and I think that is good. I can't really say if it is helping my flexibility yet as I have a history of back problems and so far I do not notice any improvement in that respect.

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

Not quite sure what you are talking about, but I did beef up the frame when I installed, added another set of 2x4's all the way around the frame so it wasn't so flimsy. Been up 2 years without any problems. Hope this helps.
