Can you do pullups on the bar at the top

I would not advise doing that, it could change the alignment for proper operation!!

I would not consider it safe. But I'm 200 lbs and I have a tower for that. Could you, depending on your weight? probably, but the support beam isn't held up by the poles, so only the brackets are supporting you. good brackets though, so I did one, quite comfortable but I kept asking myself why take the risk?

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.

My buddy that weighs 200 does some, but I wouldn't advise it. I have a power station we normally do pull ups on.

Probably not. The size and structure of the machine is not condusive for pull ups. There is a very good chance the machine would tip over.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I weigh 226 and it will hold my weight. The only difficulty that I encountered is that the cross bar is about two inch square and it is a little difficult to hold on to while pulling up. I wear gloves and it makes it a little easier. Good luck.

You should be able to do that. However, if you tow something heavy, the bar might get damaged.

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

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

Yes, Stud Bar has videos on their website showing large bars wall mounted for those who kip or need more leg room. For dead hang pull ups the standard size wall mounted works best and takes up less space

Yes, if you are mounting into a concrete slab wall and use larger anchor bolts. This will require drilling slightly larger holes into the brackets. I have a 100 pound bag on my mount and can do pull ups on the bar but I don't use the mount for pull ups.

You could attach a TRX, but I think it's usefulness would be limited. The bar isn't really made for kipping pull ups, so I don't think it would be safe to use a TRX in a way that would involve leaning away from the bar. At most, I would use it the same way I would use rings for push ups. Having said that, I've never tried rings or TRX on mine, so others might have more insight.

Nope, it is not required. If you read my lengthy review one of the facts is that these exercises are the most customizable. You have points where one guy is on the pullup bar, two others are using free weights, and Andy is using the bands. Pullup bar is not necessary at all but it probably the hardest exercise in that set.

I don't see why not -- the top and bottom bars are adjustable -- you only put one leg up at a time. You never really put all your weight on the bar, and if you put it together correctly, it's actually pretty sturdy! I use it to do the bar method DVD's and you never really do more than lightly hold on for balance, so again I don't see why not.

You don't necessarily need a bar, but works best. You can use a sturdy tall object, like I used a back of a chair. I just wasn't impressed with the workout, but maybe because if I had the correct height of a bar it would have worked better. I just went back to using my Jackie warner DVd's. I saw better results with them.

Yes. The black bar on the open end will serve as a pull-up and chin up bar. If you are 200 + lbs you may need to counter balance your weight by hanging some plates on the opposite end.

I don't think that would work. Per the video, your foot will be on the ground when you first step in for safety. My pullup bar isn't very high either so I lean my feet forward some to create more room. I know sometimes I lose the full extension too.

No - strictly upper body. Only leg action are bars to anchor your legs under.

Yes you can attach to your pull up bar. There is a short strap that you can wrap around til you get most of the slack out. Then the metal ring from the straps with handle clips into the bigger metal clip. Make sure you balance it out on your bar. I wrap it around my tree and have taken to park to put up on the monkey bars. Good luck.

Not sure what you're asking. Yes, you can do incline pullups with this unit. But your hands will have to be in the neutral position. You cannot have them in either the supinator or pronator position, if that is clear to you. (If you clap your hands, you are holding them in neutral, rather than supinator or pronator position.)

I have to give you a very honest NO. You are suppose to be able to but the bar and the open space don't allow you to get a proper angle to do anything but make a calculated guess.

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!
