Is it possible to use this for kipping muscle-ups, muscle-ups and similar 'Barstarzz' or 'Barbarian' workouts?

I am not familiar with 'Barstarzz' or 'Barbarian' workouts" , but you can do kipping or butterfly pull-ups and should have no problem doing any kind of muscle-up. I weigh 226 and feel secure with the activies.

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.

Yes it would. It comes with a diagram on how to use it for abs and other workouts.

You can use the buttkicker with anything that has the ability to output sound. I.e if you have RCA output from the device. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't see why not -- the top and bottom bars are adjustable -- you only put one leg up at a time. You never really put all your weight on the bar, and if you put it together correctly, it's actually pretty sturdy! I use it to do the bar method DVD's and you never really do more than lightly hold on for balance, so again I don't see why not.

Yes you can. Great peice of equipment for the price. I bout the incline decline press to go with it.

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

Ha! I would say it very well could be used as an arm exercise if you need to work on motion post-surgery. It absolutely should not be used if the purpose is for strength training of any kind. This has a very fluid motion.

I think so, unless you can put the band high enough like in the video. I was unable to do at my place. I love using the chin up assist. The great thing about it is that it is adjustable to your needs. So you can start out really using it and gradually loosen it so it is only "helping" you do them on your own.

You could attach a TRX, but I think it's usefulness would be limited. The bar isn't really made for kipping pull ups, so I don't think it would be safe to use a TRX in a way that would involve leaning away from the bar. At most, I would use it the same way I would use rings for push ups. Having said that, I've never tried rings or TRX on mine, so others might have more insight.

No, sorry. I've used it while bulking up. I would also like to hear answer to this question.

Yes. The foot straps adjust for different heights/intensity. You might need someone to strap it to the bar for you but otherwise it can be used on high up bars without a problem.

Yes. I use it for personal training, therefore I use it as a swat rack and bench press.

The Elite pull up bar is strong enough to do pull ups and chin ups, but there is movement in the unit even with the stabilizer bar. I don't think that it would be tall enough or stable enough for rings. Its a great piece of portable equipment but too much movement for rings, I think. Also side poles would interfere with doing rings.

Yes, definitely you can. The videos that come with show you different exercises on how to work your core on the Total Gym.

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.
