Does anybody use (or have used) these with the same brand chin bar (Perfect Multi-Gym)? Do they work together?

they wrap around any beam and simply connect with their carabiners [snap links].. can be even be used with strong horizontal tree limbs, 2x4 bolted to a door frame, etc... !

You do hang between the bars when doing chin ups. I'm pretty broad and can fit just fine though.

Yes, I'm using a 1 1/4 inch (1.25") Stud bar (google it, not the bar in SFO it's a chin up bar) you'll be fine, no regrets. I'm using it less and less over time but helps you get used to the reps

I have the same problem, I have a pullup bar that stands on the floor. The band still worked for me pretty well. What I had to do is bend my legs and the band rides down my thigh as I start the pullup but then as I straighten my legs the pressure comes off the thigh. It was quite awkward at first, but I got used to the motion and now I don't even notice it. They key to this is where you situation the band on the chinup bar. For example, on a wide grip chinup you need to situation the band just INSIDE your hand on the side that you're putting your foot into on the support strap. That way the strap won't cross your body or run outside your leg making it harder to bend your knees. Long story short, you can make it work, and in my opinion it is worth using the product. I've seen huge gains with it. Cheers. Ben.

It actually works better with the thick chin up bars. They have a better grip. I love this boots, everybody at the gym asksme where i got them and its the best workout tool to get ripped and easy on your back. Love love love this boots and very strong. I got yhem about 3 years ago and they are the best. Hope this helps.

Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the sewing on the handles started to come loose, but duct tape has been a lasting and easy fix Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the... » Read More Short answer yes, long answer I've used them for p90x, so far the most I've used is the top 3 bands and I'm a 220 pound guy, as far as bands go they're great, but sometimes shortening the bands by stepping on a loop can be awkward for some of the exercises, if you can afford to get the dumbbells they are still in my opinion better but, the bands still do a pretty good job and are wayyyy cheaper and easier to store, the door anchor comes in very handy as well and is sturdy, have had them for several months and so far the only thing I've had wear out is after the first couple months the sewing on the handles started to come loose, but duct tape has been a lasting and easy fix « Show Less

No they unfortunately do not. These ones work with threaded bar though. Standard Lock-Jaw Collar (1 Inch Size)

They work fine....but I have learned that most of the beam style blades are equal. I actually purchased one icon and one other brand and ran them at the same time. Even swapping them after time to get equal use on each side. The Valeros worked and lasted the longest.

No, it is not meant for pull-ups or chin-ups. This bar is meant to be connected to a cable machine and used for bicep curls, tricep curls, rows, etc.

No, the hooks are tighter. They are made for a standard chin-up bar. Hope it helps. P.S. As to the quality - they are amazing. I use them for 13 years now, the same boots. At least 3-4 times a week. I even do 90 degree body rotation every time with my heavy 200 lbs. They hold everything.

I actually bought my first set in 2004 the classic set and I bought the bar just to take a chance I planned on buying a new set of dumbbells but the bar actually worked with my old set which surprised me I've been in the business for over 30 years and I've never been so happy with anything as I am with powerblocks products they really take a beating I ordered the ez curl bar used from amazon to save 12 bucks and it looks like it was never used I hope this helps you just remember they only make the bars for the classic and urethane sets

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

I wouldn't see any problem using your chin up bar. Just make sure there's is NO play in the bolts that holt it in place as you will be pulling in it from different angles than its intended for as you'll be pulling sideways and not just up . So if you have bolts and not wood screws than I would say work on. Gerry

Can't answer the first part - (re: Double Taps - they "should"), but can definitely share that the Tektro's work great with my Avid BB5s. Make sure you get the right diameter for your bars though !

Don't know. I have two sets (one set new and one set about five years old). Both are Avus at least by the patent number. Avus does recommend that for use with rubber bumper plates, olympic lifting, or CrossFit, we recommend the Lock-Jaw Pro Barbell Collar for maximum performance.

I wish I could help but we only have this one set. I also am wondering if they work with other brands. We do love the set we have though

Yes, they will, but I would not buy them. I am not happy with mine. The first couple times I used them I thought I liked them, but the sides don't fit over them well at all, and I pot one set on top of the other one day (while they had water in them) and the top one fell over and the joining screw broke off. Unrepairable or useable. They also leak if you use water and they tip over. All in all, my weight lifting weights worked better. I bought sand bags for half the price to replace them.
