Would this accommodate butterfly pull ups for a 150 lb. person or would it be too wobbly?

Definitely too wobbly. My two year old can tip it over by swinging on my Olympic rings I hang on them. It's designed for slow controlled movements.

I use mine with the stabilizer kit for regular pullups and chinups and it's very sturdy (I'm about 180lb). I think it would be too wobbly for butterfly pullups without the stabilizer kit, and perhaps somewhat wobbly with the stabilizer kit, though not likely to a point where it would topple over (with the stabilizer kit). My understanding is that this kit does NOT come with the stabilizer kit. I got mine from the original website, where they give you the option of getting a stabilizer kit http://trapezerigging.com

Not sure what butterfly pullups are, but it is too rickety for muscle-ups. Not to mention the "neutral-grip" handlee are narrrow enough not to accomodate any fancy barr-starz gymnastic type movements

I think it would be great. Its completely adjustable and can hold at least an average sized adult.

I have been on it and weigh more than 200 lbs. no issues. I will say that if it has been assembled and used for a while the screws will need tightening, which may be why another reviewer had issues with wobble.

It's pretty sturdy. I think you will be okay especially for a spare room. I don't think it would be good for excessively large people continues use though.

Not sure. Wife and I weigh less then 150lbs & it works fine for us. We use it in our closet to hang up our clothes.

Wow... the inaccurate answers continue to amaze me... I am 6'2" and weigh just 220lbs. I use this pull-up bar all the time in my loft, and it's completely fine and stable. It "wobbles" a negligible amount--but if you can mentally get past that, it simply will not collapse or break. But you MUST get the upgraded pull-up bar with the stabilizer bar. That's the one I have. I'm not sure if they sell that on amazon, or if you need to go to their website. It's around $400--at least it was when i bought it over a year ago, with the storage bag designed for it. Awesome piece of equipment. And I do NOT use sandbags on it. I do put a dumbbell on opposing legs on each side of it when I do hanging leg raises on it. I have a pair of Ab Straps (search amazon for em--i have a pair made by Veleo, and they cost $27 with prime shipping) that hook over the bar with metal clips and they work great.

Mine got extremely wobbly if the ground was even slightly bumpy and no matter how evenly distributed the weight was, if it was carrying more than 15 pounds it would tip over very easily. I wouldn't rely on this for anything over 10-20 pounds.

Yes it can. I have owned it for over a year and it has held up great. I weigh almost 200 and it takes my kipping pull ups like a champ.

Well, the base has four fairly large stabilizer bars that I think hold it really very well, the only thing that wobbles is the actual form on the pole kind of wiggles. I think if your wings are super super heavy you could always drop a couple sand bags on the legs but chances are I think you'd be fine. Good luck.

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.

No, it should not wobble, unless the floor is uneven. I have used it and it is just like a professional workout bench

Mine is sturdy, does not wobble. Our household does not have anyone over 200lbs.

I weigh 220 (all right, 225) and if I used it regularly I think it would break as it's a little flimsy. Worked fine for my mom (150).

I have done pull ups and have not tipped over. This of course is going to be predicated by proper assembly. One side has the cross bar bolt holes set further back. I'm sure if you assembled it backwards and tried to pull up on it then yes it would be more unstable.

Your weight. My husband is 220# has the 12' and it's still a bit wobbly, but he's not very good at it yet.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

I used this setup to move all my appliances so with 2 decently strong adults you should be able to easily move that package. Instead of using your arms to lift you use them to steady the item you are moving. The strap is 6" or so wide so it is not hard to balance as long as what you are lifting is pretty balanced.
