I'm new to buying lifting equipment. Is this product ideal for the bar swing left to right?

I am not familiar with that exercise. As you can see by the picture the bar is inserted into the barrel of the cannon, so to speak. The barrel of the cannon can go straight up and over and it can also be spun around 360 degrees with the bar shoved inside. The TBR must be bolted down or held in place by something heavy like a weight machine. Hope that helps.

The bar is able to swivel left and right...up and down with this apparatus. Just make sure that the apparatus is fastened securely to an anchor point. I am not sure how you plan to exercise with it but I believe that it will work for what you want. I just use the up and down rowing motion. If you are doing land mines, it will work. I hope this answers your question.

I would recommend the IRON GYM XTREME it's a bit larger and with the Extra Hand Grips it holds you out from the Door Frame a bit more resulting in more grip by the Iron Gym on the door frame contact points. It's selling for $25 at WalMart wth 97 cent shipping right now. It feels so solid you won't worry about falling.

Yes either side is fine. This is a well thought out product. I prefer holing on the left as I am right handed but, either side opened or closed this is comfortable!!!!

The new styled total gym handles are nice. You can buy handles like that at any sporting goods store and then with some heavy duty carabiners and locking loops attach them to the cable system on the Weider Total Body 5000. I was thinking about doing that and also making a cable extension and getting some leg cuffs.

I just got it, waiting for plates to arrive, but yes, it seems to be a pretty solid bar...a bit greasy upon arrival but once cleaned up, I used it to practice snatch form with just bar...It's no Rogue but good enough for home gym use for sure!

I suppose you could, but I don't think it would be as easy to use, e.g. to open it. So far I have not used the handle attachments; i use only the swing itself and the rigging seems safe. I put a gym pad under my swing to soften a fall, just in case.

Based on what I can remember of the last Bowflex I used, the attachments will clip onto the machine. However...I don't know if attaching a bar/ rope to ONE side of the Bowflex is either safe (instability) or detrimental to the structural integrity of the machine (excessive wear and tear on one side). I'm no Bowflex expert by any stretch, but it seems to me the machine was intended to be used primarily with the handles it came with. This is just my opinion. Hope this helps.

I would think so. I am right-handed, but I hold the main apparatus in my left hand to open a can and turn the opener handle with my right. Everything is very smooth.

If you are a machinist (like I was) maybe you are able to switch the drive side to the left, But is a big job , because the drive gear and the worm gear have a spline on the shaft, and the brackets are offset. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer to see if they make a left handed awning.

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

You would have ro buy a few longer screws bit yes i dont see wht not. The bottom plate of this bracket has 4 or 5 threaded holes if you bought two and lined up two of the holesand put a longer bolt through it should do the job. The upper arm the is hinged to swing up has a height adjustment so you should be able to line those up like a cage. It may be pretty cool because if you need to attach an external led video light or something the swing arms rotate 180 outward for a good mounting position. If you are a DIY person the swing arms can come right off with a few screw, if you measure out a flat plate of metal it would create a rigid cage. I might actually do this myself! Good idea!

It's very sturdy, but free standing so its built for balanced exercise. Your center of gravity needs to be controlled which is the purpose. I do leg work mostly but even do pull ups directly under the bar. Its very versatile, and adjustable for even more uses. Can't go wrong if u know the basics.

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.

i will have to check and get back with you. i do like the lift no complants. but i don't use it very much. so if you plan on using it alot you may need a heaver lift.

Yes the lifting portion of the stand is spring loaded so it will adjust to the width of your bikes swing arm.

They sell right and left side. As for Yamaha fit, only if you have kuryakyn grips.

This is Steve the sleeves spin pretty good, I occasionally put the bar on the end and put a few drops of oil where the bushing is and leave overnight ... The sleeves spin better with weight on them ... This is more of a power bar than a weightlifting bar ... But for the price this is a really good bar ,as good as ones costing twice as much ..
