There's nowhere in my house to attach a pull up bar so I'm hoping to use this instead. Would that work? (Think: P90X.)

The Equalizer will not work as a pull up bar. You can certainly position your body horizontally and pull up while your feet are touching the floor. However, a typical pull up is done at a different angle and the Equalizer does not allow for this angle.

They're only 29" tall. You can lay on your back under it and do a shoulder blade crunch. Idk how you would use these to do a true pull up.

I attached directly to my pull up bar,you just need a pull-up bar. the loop on the top of of this band simply clips around the bar.

Yes, it will work. The door can be no more than 40 inches wide. In your case, the "grippers" or "bumpers" should overhand the door facing by about 2 inches on each side. That should be enough to hold you up. In my opinion, as long as you perform the pull-ups correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about the device slipping or shifting. From my review: One thing to make sure of: Wall thickness! I have walls in an older home that are about 8 inches thick. This pull-up bar only fits walls that are 7 inches at most. I had to look all over the house for someplace where the wall was thin enough to fit this. I eventually found out my walk-in closet (a recent renovation) was thin enough. Now, I have to wallk back to my bedroom closet to exercise. It's not ideal, but it works. Six to seven inches is the ideal range for wall-thickness here. Also, the doorway needs to be between 24 and 40 inches wide and at least a foot away from any wall or corner, otherwise, your pull-up bar will not fit.

weights or exercise bands and a pull up bar. I don't have a pull up bar so I use the bands for the pull up moves. It's just as effective.

No, the pull-up bar is not very stable. I used it for a year or so but wasn't comfortable with it and donated about 2 months ago, I wish if you had asked this question earlier then I may have shipped it to you...

I have the total gym XLI and the press up bars are too wide, my opinion the standard bar is better quality, not sure if you know the pull up bar fits the bottom of the main frame and does all you need and cheaper, and better, hope this helps Regards Robert Robert

It would work for the arm and shoulder exercises. The length of the bar is rather long, so there could only be a few inches of clearance between the floor and the end of the bar.

Hi, Ron. If the hook is secure enough to support your weight, then you sure can. In my review, I noted that I use mine on my doorframe pull-up bar using a set of large carabiners (like the Mommy Hook, but you can get them at Home Depot for less money) that I slip through the yellow cylinders on the straps. If your hook(s) are the right size to fit into those cylinders, you could use your hooks directly.

I am not sure. I have never tried. It would require you to make a strap to get from the bottom pull to the bar. I have a torn biceps tendon right now and I can't even try it for you. Sorry.

Craig, as far as attaching the GoFit Straps to a hanging pull up bar, it would take some improvision because the Straps do not come with D rings or clips like other ones out on the market. These GoFit Straps work well between a door and the top door frame, preferably in the direction you would close the door.

It works well...the issues is how high is your pull up bar? if you can adjust or easily lower it to about 6 ft, the attachments works fine, plus you can use it on the floor upside down to do push ups and so forth.

No, this bar attaches to a pulley weight machine. This is for doorways: http://www.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-Door-Chin/dp/B0016BNDXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379051756&sr=8-1&keywords=doorway+gym+bar

I would think so as long as there is a place to connect the piece over a bar on your pull up bar.

You don't have to use a pull up bar. I use free weights. The chin up bar is just an option. Gamma is awesome!

Not familiar with your pull-up bar, but I have attached these to a pull-up bar on my squat rack. Functionally they work, BUT they do drop you 7-8 inches lower, so you may need to lift your legs to clear the floor.

I think you could make it work for that, but not "off the shelf". You would have to attach a bracket of some sort to the inside of the sliding part of the door, near the outside edge. It's difficult to explain, but if you look at the product photo, you can see that the end of the bar butts up to the door frame. You would need something on the door for the bar to butt up to. Maybe a piece of aluminum "L". I think a clever handyman could make this work.
