How much weight can this thing support? Gymnastic pullups with someone around 215lbs?

maybe for a bit but it wont hold up over time doing that, spring for a more expensive bar would be my advice

I'm 270lbs and I have absolutely no issues doing pull-ups, hanging from it or anything of that nature. It's extremely rugged.

Yes. I am over 200 pounds and use it for crossfit workouts requiring box jumps. No issues. Very Sturdy.

According to the isokinetics web site, the limit appears to be 300 lbs. I'm 225 and the only issue for me was that the back support will bend if you lean back hard. But the idea is to stay straight up anyway.

It depends on the age & weight of the gymnast. My daughter is 62lbs & is just getting into the competitive side...it is just starting to lift up off the floor with some of her vigorous moves. It's been great up until now. She is on team 2. Hope that helps! If there are anchors available that would definitely help and I would say it would def stable with those.

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!

I don't know what the advertised weight limit is......I weigh 215 and it feels very sturdy. I would say it would work.....it is plenty wide and the legs are very sturdy.

It says 200lbs - but we have had a person on it who weighs about 215lbs without any problem.

I have never seen a spec for max weight capacity. I can tell you it will handle a 215 pound person that I let try it.

According to the manufacturers info, the bracket will hold up to 300 lbs. I'm 235 and it seems to do fine with my weight. You'll have to be VERY careful to make sure you get the screws solidly into the studs...I used a high quality stud finder to make sure it was solidly anchored into the ceiling beam in my workout room...i also have some cushioned mats below, just in case! So far I'm pleased at how the bracket has worked, and being able to do the Rip:60 from the ceiling is so much better than trying to use it attached to the back of a door.

I weigh 215 lbs, and it is quite sturdy and steady. I found that it was a bit difficult to get the pegs to settle in - the last one always seemed to be hard to click in. So once I got it set up correctly, I just leave it rather than take it apart and put it back together. Since then, it has worked well for me.

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 25-30 lbs. Not too difficult to lift or move and I'm not young and strong!

The factory says 150lb, but we imaging only if it's well distributed, like a bunch of clothing/laundry (possibly wet). We believe it's unlikely to hold a small person of about 75-100lb when all the weight is on two feet or even a dumbbell of about 50-70lb without buckling! Hope that helps.

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.

I weigh 200 lbs and have used it lifting 50 lbs with each arm with no problems. It seem very sturdy.

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.
