Can the chin up bar be put on the ground inverted so one can do push-ups with it? I have a different chin up bar that allows it but it isn't great.

Yes, it can be used for push-ups, but I don't know how it compares to other bars for that purpose.

Yes. As for reverse dips use a chair or stool for your feet . Reverse push ups off the ground and or chair depening on your workout needs.

It gives you a dip station, which is nice. While doing pull ups this tips backwards and is not sturdy in the way you'd expect it to be most sturdy. Dips are not a problem. Get one with dip station and pull up bar on the same side is my recommendation.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

I primarily use these straps for dead lifts and rows. They work great and allow me to train well beyond my hand strength. I have used them for pull downs, but never chin ups. I would imagine they would work fine as long as the bar is low enough to get them wrapped properly. If you have to jump up to the bar you won't be able to get them on unless you used a stool or chair.

You can use it, but you will have to use the 'assist' to tilt your body at more of an angle. So you would be keeping your legs straight and body straight but your body will be at more of a 45° angle. The only problem I see with this is that you are not working the same muscles. I guess you could put it on your ankle, make it really tight and keep your knees bent during the pull up. You would use your leg muscles a bit to properly benefit from the assist. As I have never tried this I do not know how it would work.Hope this helps.

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.

The top bar is not soft. The entire setup is not terribly stable. I put weights on the bottom to help but I am still aware of the pressure I put on it at certain angles. Hope that helps.

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.

No, you can't. That is one reason why I sent it back. I am too tall to hold the arms on incline.

Technically you can it for that the machine is high enough , I have never tried doing that only regular dips and weighted dips. But also you would have to rotate your hands since there is no direct straight bar like normal. I would advise being careful of you do try them

That depends on how low your chin up bar is, and how it is attached. I would say if it's a doorway style then no. Mine is hanging from a center support in my garage, and even then I had to wrap it around twice to bring it up to a level that was high enough to work on. If your chin up bar is resting on the doorway molding that doesn't seem safe to me. You can put it on a shut door, but this will limit your ability to make the exercises more difficult. You can always wrap it around a tree branch.

Sorry i do not know about the bars you are talking about, so i can not answer your Question! but i know that these Gorilla Fitness Push up Bars are Great! : )

No, for a few reasons. Although the bar sits at 46 1/2" H, which is debatably low, you cannot turn the uprights around. Therefore you would have to lift the bar over the back of the uprights. To do squats, you would either have to back up to the bench or approach it face first. If you back up to it, the cross bar which holds the uprights will hit the back of your ankles, and the inclined bench will jab your back. If you go face first, the inclined bench would jab your chest as you try to get underneath the bar. I personally would not attempt to so squats with this bench. Thanks.

It's great for both. The center bar, between the two uprights is padded for your hands to do chin ups.

Yes...excellent inversion table, can also lock into several degrees. You can also do inverted sit ups...

Yes you can do unassisted inverted situps . I was able to do them just fine. Not using the optional yellow stop bar allows you to go a full 180 so you can do a situp. Quick tip, if you just try to do a sit up, the weight shift will make you go back up. What you have to do is crunch your lower body (feet) as you bring your upper body up so that the inversion table doesn't shift up from your the body movement. Not sure if that makes any sense but it works as long as you have the strength and the right movement.
