Is it possible to do muscle ups on it?

Hi. Yes you can, but you would have to have it outdoors in an open area with plenty of head room. I have mine indoors so it is not possible as there is not enough clearance. Hope this helps.

The structure will probably withstand it, but I wouldn't say it's the best bar for it. I say this because of the two vertical bars which may get in the way.

absolutely, you can crank up the resistance to the point where you can barely move the pedal. I don't know why you would want to train that way. But you can do it.

Yes. I'm very happy with it. I anchored it to the wall in my garage. Make sure you get it into the wooden studs. I have done pull-ups and kipping muscle ups on it without any problems. I hope you like it.

Yes you can. Great peice of equipment for the price. I bout the incline decline press to go with 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.

Yes, and you can do them while facing the machine. Depending on your height, you might need a small piece of chain and 2 carabiners to adjust the cable length where it attaches to the weights, so that you get full range of motion. I did this and get full extension when doing triceps extensions facing the machine.

No question. It has a lot of flexibility. I would expect no issues with that exercise.

No. The instructions with the dumbbells say not to use them for that purpose. I bought pushup handles.

The assembly instructions do not have an option for "gear up" assembly. It may be possible, however it would probably require a good bit of modification.. Hope this helps

One could do them simultaneously if you like. Simply do different upper body exercises with weights while walking/climbing on these. One could do bicep curls, shoulder press, tricep pushes, and other things. However, I recommend not doing anything with your chest or back. Balance is a small issue on this walking machine. I suggest not toying with that balance much. It would be easy to cause injuries without going as far as falling off. So when not on the machine do push ups and tricep dips and other more horizontal exercises.

Not really. You aren't technically supposed to put your body weight on the actual bar, and even if you do, chin ups are going to be awkward because you're facing the wrong way. Taking the board off would be a hassle and kind of defeats the purpose of the item.

You might be able to do a modified ab workout because, as you suspected, lifting your torso up will cause the device to move up too, but one of my dogs brings toys to me when I'm inverted and I'll swing up a bit to throw the toy for her to retrieve and the abs get involved a little.

Yes, you can if you turn it on is for sound ans exercises extra that are really good

I suppose you could......I just tried, and I did. At my height of 5'0", that is a pushup at about45degrees from vertical or horizontal......a better push than a wall version with your feet outfrom the wall about 24-30". Hope that helps!

No, but you can pull up arm and leg exercises on the internet. I think you will find it very exercise friendly. The piece in the back of the chair is to keep you setting correctly with good posture. I find this very helpful.

For muscle ups, it's certainly strong enough, but it would have to be mounted pretty low or your ceiling would have to be pretty high. Also you'd have do them facing the bar/facing the wall because not sure if there's enough clearance (how much it sticks out from the wall). Not familiar with the Barstarzz/Barbarian workouts.

Yes you can. Here is a you tube video that tells you how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr73Qth_Vn4
