will this pull up bar support a 260 pound man?

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.

I think if the base is secured, it may support your frame, the problem with it is that the base is wobbly and the distance between the two legs is not constant when set up---lacking a crossbar at the bottom to add stability. If you are able to set it right and secure the bars with heavy sandbags, it should be usable.

In a word No. It won't support a 180 lb man -- it is wobbly and unstable. I bought it and returned it to the vendor for a refund (minus the significant shipping costs).

No, the pull-up bar is not very stable. I used it for a year or so but wasn't comfortable with it and donated about 2 months ago, I wish if you had asked this question earlier then I may have shipped it to you...

Yes, I have this attached to my pullup bar (one that is not screwed or bolted to the doorframe, but that hangs on the doorframe) and have had no issues with it. Just make sure that the direction you are exerting your force is in the direction that will push the supports into the doorframe instead of rotating the pullup bar away...if that makes sense.

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

I'm 6'1 weight 207, it can handle 250 lbs easy, its very sturdy, ensure you place on level surface.

I think it will. The bar should hold up, problem will be how you secure the bracket. The bar can sway a little in the wind and could also loosen and/or put tension on the screws that attach the bracket to the wall or pole

I do muscle ups and the pull up bar has yet to tip over. It sways but holds firm. David

Yes. The black bar on the open end will serve as a pull-up and chin up bar. If you are 200 + lbs you may need to counter balance your weight by hanging some plates on the opposite end.

At my heaviest I'm 240lbs and it supports me great. I believe that they state the weight limit is 300lbs, I would feel confident that it would support 300lbs.

Probably fine. It didn't specify a weight limit, but it is sturdy and solid. Most equipment of this type is meant to support up to around 250.

I used to be that heavy as well and can relate to questioning if this product can support you. I can tell you that you shouldn't have a problem as long as you follow the p90x routine. In the routine, Tony will suggest using a chair or bucket to support the weight if your having difficulty. You could used that method to lower the load on the pull up bar. Also, try to use metal anchor screws.

The chin up bar nor the dip bars exceed the length of the base. So your body weight does not throw it off balance. I weigh 190 and I attach a 25lb weight to myself and I can do both wide grip and close grip pull-ups. Keep in mind, this machine isn't anchored to the floor. With enough aggressive shaking, it can lose its balance. Hope this helps.

My husband is 250 lbs. and it easily supports him. It appears to be very sturdy.

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.

Husband weighs 280. If you mean the weight lifted, the max he's lifted with the bar is 300 lbs. He's an old guy now but is an experienced weight trainer & feels it could handle 400 lbs. Hope that helps.

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.

Not 100% sure but I weigh 250 and it holds me with no issues at all. I wouldn't be afraid to say it would hold up to 300 pounds.
