I wanted to install a pull-up bar in my basement where I work out. I went back and forth between this product and the one from the same brand meant to be installed into joists, which was more expensive. My plan was to install the pull up bar along the wood beams-joists in my basement that are already exposed. After doing some measuring I realized that the joist mounted pull up bar would hang down too low from the wood beam I wanted to install it on and just because this says "wall mounted" doesnt mean it can't be installed onto a joist. I am definitely happy I chose to purchase this wall mounted pull up bar. First, it was extremely easy to install. I read the other reviews and noticed they said the instructions called for the wrong bit to be used to pre-drill holes but it appears the company has since updated their instructions, which show to use a 7/32 bit to install, with which the screws fit nice and snug and secure.
Installation consisted of 1) Making sure you know exactly where you want to install. Picture yourself doing a pull up, make sure you are centered where you want to be centered and won't hit your head on anything. 2) Pre-drill the holes for the first arm and install the first arm, make sure your arm is level before completely tightening. 3) Attach the pull up bar to the first arm. This will make it easier to install the 2nd arm with accuracy and correct spacing. 4) Line up the 2nd arm with the pull up bar already attached but dont completely attach, just put the screw in to see where the 2nd arm needs to be. Make sure 2nd arm is level, mark where to drill. 3) Move pull up bar out of the way by just swinging it aside since it is attached to the first arm, pre-drill holes for 2nd arm and install. 4) Attach pull up bar to 2nd arm.
That is how I did it and it was very easy and only took 20 minutes or so. The bar is not moving AT ALL. Ive done pull ups from different positions on the bar, reverse crunches, and just hung there to get a good stretch, and I can tell I dont have to worry about it moving out of place. I am very happy with my purchase. This is a great addition to my work out room and gives me several options for use. Super easy to install and good quality...definitely recommended.
