Can you use an underhand grip on this as well (chin up)?

Yes, You can use underhand. The angle as any straight bar puts some pressure on the wrists.

Yes, I frequently do. Sometimes I'll do ten pullups with each grip....underhand and overhand.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact my left hand works it much better than my right. Whic ever hand works better for you.

I don't see why not. You will both need a little manual dexterity and upper body strength.

I don't think so - it is molded to fit the right hand - just tried it - nope very very awkward - sorry

You can, but the resisitance is extremely small. With enough reps of the low stress you should get your thumb strength back

I have relatively small/medium sized hands, and I have absolutely no issue gripping the U's for parallel grip chin ups. The foam has a good deal of grip to it, so it's easy to hold onto without hurting your hands.

I don't know. I didn't check on any of the details for the chin-up bar being how I'm substituting it with resistance bands. Sorry.

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.

Yes. It is possible to use it with a hand grip strap. I found it a bit easier, personally without. But I know some people don't feel comfortable holding it without any strap.

Yes, you can do pull ups and chin ups, although the accompanying literature doesn't say to use the bar as a pull up bar itself. But I tried it and it's quite comfortable. Note that you can get your chin ABOVE the bar, but not OVER the bar because the door frame is in the way. You'd bump your nose and bleed on your new hardware. :)

Yes, make sure to tighten the quick release lever clockwise to ensure it is tight before you attach your grip to it.

Hey there guy I purchased this rack last summer. It already has a chin up bar built in. Its the top crossbar. It has knurling on it to grab on for grip. Solid as hell! Go for it!

Eh, yes but with limited motion. You likely could not do wide-arm push ups. This may be difficult to explain but I'll try. In the picture you can see two black bars per dumbell; what you can't see is the third one that is essentially in the very center of each dumbell. The two you can see are padded and meant to hold the device together--the padding is to protect your wrists/arms as they bump into the bars often. The center bar is made to be gripped and is at the center of gravity so that you can lift the dumbells without them twisting in your hand. So, with you hands about three inches down into the dumbells the angle would be difficult for wide-arm push ups and depending on which way your arms flare out during close-arm push ups those could be uncomfortable too.

No, you can't. It can't catch fine hair like that on the chin. I tried using it on my underarms. It worked well the first time, but not the next time. So I ise the Emoji epilator on my underarms and chin. This one is really good for legs and hands as well.

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

Not really. You aren't technically supposed to put your body weight on the actual bar, and even if you do, chin ups are going to be awkward because you're facing the wrong way. Taking the board off would be a hassle and kind of defeats the purpose of the item.

The various grips are used in different exercises, depending on which muscle groups you are working out. Center grips are used for standard chin-ups, but if you turn your hands so your palms face away from your face, different muscles in your forearms and upper arms are activated. Wider grip positions hit the shoulders and sides and the widest grips (with the slight downward angle) are actually more for your sides and back (latissimus dorsi) muscles. A good exercise book will show these positions in detail.
