Can I do muscle ups on this pull up bar

No. Because it is mounted on beam and you would not have enough clearance. I would go with wall mounted bar system. You might want to look at Xtreme Monkey Wall Mounted Chin Up Bar on Amazon. Still need enough head/upper body clearance. Good luck.

Not mounted on the ceiling joist not enough clearance. Even mounted differently the foam would make difficult without removing it.

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.

You could if the bar is the right length...I believe you can do a 6 ft bar minimum...I did a 7 ft barbell Olympic size and it's not too big if that's a concern

Unfortunately, the product does not come with a workout manual in the box. They offer each if you want to fill out the included ordering slip, mail it in, pay for each (plus shipping and handling), wait for them, then start using the bar. There are many references on the web as to how to integrate the bar into a workout, but the best would be to alternate various pull ups (narrow, wide, over- and under-hand grips) with various types of push-ups or bicep curls. However, whatever you do, make sure to stretch properly, use proper form (slow and steady without straining your neck to reach the bar) and pace yourself.

You can. Nice thing about this rack is that you can move them as close or as far apart as you want. I have a 7ft bar and a pull up bar directly above it. I can easily do pull ups without the rack getting in my way, if I was to move the racks 1 foot closer together I would still have enough room. It's a nice set up for the money. The plate storage is pretty nice as well. I have bumper plates from Rouge and they store pretty nicely.

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

My buddy that weighs 200 does some, but I wouldn't advise it. I have a power station we normally do pull ups on.

It sits far enough for pull ups with room for swaying. You won't be able to do any kipping pull ups, and with your height exercises like knees to elbow and toes to bar may be out of the question. I bought the bar mainly for pull ups and ability to do suspension type training with a little ring work. I mounted the bar a couple inches of max reach, so I jump up a little. When mounted properly I've never experienced any wiggle, sway, or give from the anchor. With that said, buy your own lag bolts. They break!

Not sure what butterfly pullups are, but it is too rickety for muscle-ups. Not to mention the "neutral-grip" handlee are narrrow enough not to accomodate any fancy barr-starz gymnastic type movements

Hey dan, I would buy a ceiling mounted pullup bar. This this bar is designed to be installed on the wall. I wouldn't install this bar on your ceiling because of the risk of injury.

You'd have to call them and ask. I've thought of it myself when I bought it, and it has holes for a second one, at least mine does. I was going to see if they'd send a new chin up bar if I claimed the one I had was warped, but after I got it I didn't find it necessary, and the one that's there I occasionally bang my head on when racking and unracking a squat, so it'd be an issue every time you got into the rack even for average height. The overall structure of the unit is pretty good without an extra chin up bar. I've had 500lbs racked without problem, and I've also done dips with my 330lb body on it by placing two barbells across the safety pins with no complaints, I've also turned the existing chin bar there into an adjustable lat/ab/tricept pull down cable machine by attaching pulleys to it. No complaints whatsoever. As long as you dont do plank pullup side twists with the bar, which would be hard to do with the rack, it will hold.

If you are strong enough to do one unassisted pullup, this will help you to do more reps and build strength. If you can't do a single pullup on your own, I would suggest using a chair to start. Put the chair below the pullup bar and use your legs to help lift your weight. Your goal is to get to the point where you can lift all your weight with just your arms.

It depends on how tall you are. You want to be able to lift your leg straight out to the side and back when holding onto the bar with one hand as the bar is on your side or both hands as the bar is in front of you..

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.

Yes, absolutely, it is a fitness device for all ages and it is the strongest pullup bar available. We use thicker steel than any other pull-up bars and have plugnplay attachments for aerial yoga, boxing, and air fitness with our patent pending straps that allow you to run in the air.

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.
