Can this be used to do pull ups as well ?

As long as it's properly secured and used as directed, yes, it shouldn't be a problem. I weight over 200 lbs and have no problem doing pull-ups with it.

Yes. Both close grip and wide grip. However, wide grip is limited to the actual width of your door.

If you're going to do any sort of kipping pullups, put some weights on the end. Otherwise it's very stable for anything else.

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

You can. When you receive the item, you'll have to assemble it, but if you don't want to use the board, you don't have to. If you are using it for a pull up bar only, might be cheaper to get a different item.

Sure can! This is a great bar with multiple uses. I do squats, deadlifts, rows, and of course traps. I just started using it for farmers walks as well. Good price for a great bar.

Sorry, I do not know if it can be used with chains for dips and pull-ups (probably, there is nothing extra to attach stuff, but if the chain just goes around, then I guess yes).I bought it mostly to protect my back when shoveling snow, don't really use it for regular training. Only drawback I see is that if you sweat the paint will stain your shirt/clothes, so be careful.

Absolutely. It is what I use with P90x for pull ups/back, biceps, triceps, and shoulders

It sits far enough for pull ups with room for swaying. You won't be able to do any kipping pull ups, and with your height exercises like knees to elbow and toes to bar may be out of the question. I bought the bar mainly for pull ups and ability to do suspension type training with a little ring work. I mounted the bar a couple inches of max reach, so I jump up a little. When mounted properly I've never experienced any wiggle, sway, or give from the anchor. With that said, buy your own lag bolts. They break!

Yes, absolutely, it is a fitness device for all ages and it is the strongest pullup bar available. We use thicker steel than any other pull-up bars and have plugnplay attachments for aerial yoga, boxing, and air fitness with our patent pending straps that allow you to run in the air.

Ha! I would say it very well could be used as an arm exercise if you need to work on motion post-surgery. It absolutely should not be used if the purpose is for strength training of any kind. This has a very fluid motion.

If you substitute something in the pull ups place you will still get one heck of a workout. And if you do push ups instead I feel you are basically muscles so not much of a impact on the results.

Haha, you need to do assisted pullups...haha. My sister uses this and she doesn't even do that.

They have a pull up extender accessory for just that purpose, but you can pull up without it. My hubby has used it for that purpose without the extender.

I would not recommend it. While it is solid enough to do pull ups on its own, if you attach a TRX, the bar may become unstable and collapse

There is an option to do pull ups and chin ups but it is completely optional and you can just use weights.

Possibly. Pull ups could be achieved using the crossbar depending on your size/weight. I personally didn't order the pull up bar attachment, but I'm not sure if the Power Line Cable Crossover can handle it. I've had the unit for some time now, and love it.

Yes, it can be used for push-ups, but I don't know how it compares to other bars for that purpose.
