Has anyone tried muscle-ups on this bar? Did it tip over?

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

I purchased this pull up station for about 3 months now and at first you really do need some adjustment to the power you decide to use. I fell over a few times because I overpowered what the stand could hold. If you do them slowly then there is no problem, but you have to refrain yourself from swing left and right because that will shake the whole station. Hope this helps!

I have not tried it, but my instinct tells me may not be a good idea. I am sure that weight has a lot to do with it weigh 240 so momentum swings are going to cause a much greater possibility for the bar to move than someone weight much less. I hope this helps.

I agree with the one post. I don't think it would work because the bar is curved upward.m I think it would slide to the side all the time. When using workout equipment you want to make sure it is 100% safe. I can't say this would be 100% safe with the bar curving upwards.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't toThick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

Yes. I have that same rack and those same bars which I use for dips and they're awesome! There's a locking screw on the bars for extra stability but I don't bother because it's just extra time and hassle. There's some wobble without screwing them in but once you're doing dips you don't notice it at all since you're pushing down on the bars which stabilizes them anyway. I've also had guys around 220lbs+ doing dips on them with no worries at all. I would also recommend setting them to the inside of the rack as the rack is very light so as to prevent any chances of tipping over. And when doing dips I would do them facing the other side of the rack because depending on how high you set the bars and how tall you are, you don't want to take the chance of bumping your head into the crossbeam if you can't keep from going straight up and down due to how short the rack is.

Yes. I have both and they both work well for me, but I do not make a habit of dropping the bar. I normally just lower the bar and let it settle to the floor gently. Anything that is abused, will eventually break. I use my equipment, but I try not to abuse it.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

I have the same problem, I have a pullup bar that stands on the floor. The band still worked for me pretty well. What I had to do is bend my legs and the band rides down my thigh as I start the pullup but then as I straighten my legs the pressure comes off the thigh. It was quite awkward at first, but I got used to the motion and now I don't even notice it. They key to this is where you situation the band on the chinup bar. For example, on a wide grip chinup you need to situation the band just INSIDE your hand on the side that you're putting your foot into on the support strap. That way the strap won't cross your body or run outside your leg making it harder to bend your knees. Long story short, you can make it work, and in my opinion it is worth using the product. I've seen huge gains with it. Cheers. Ben.

It won't tip while doing dips. I have tried it once for fun, and I'm 6'1" 225#.

We have a mat under the bar on top of the bottom support bars that provides weight. We have never had it fall or tip over.

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!

Yes, it'll decline where the bar is. The bench isn't very sturdy if you're a big person. The rack was fine. I had no issues loading up my weights.

I actually do dips using mine. Just set my Olympic bar across the stand and do my dips over the bar. I have had no issues regarding it. I am a lighter individual so if you may have a different experience depending on your height/weight.

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.

Use the safety brackets that come with the bar. I didn't at first, and after some fast pullups, where I was slowly twisting the wrong direction with each pull, it slipped out.

Yes!That was a problem for me initially. After my brother went out of town, I discovered that if I placed one hand on the grip bar and the other hand on the bar where u actually hooked your legs, it became as easy as pie.

The bar does come out a fair amount, but there are handles that come out to enable push-ups. These might get in the way depending on what kind of movements you are going to do.
