Literally the only exercise equipment I've used for the last 6 months have been the rings and a slightly elevated wall for pistol squats. If I owned my own place I would for sure get a bar put in
Great vid, even two years later. Random question as I am relatively new to working out and trying to get the basics in my home gym. Why did you decide to go with a more traditional pull up bar vs a multi grip model? For someone new such as myself, would you recommend doing the same or going with a multi grip bar? Thanks!
Did you install the pine onto the wall with any lag bolts, or did you just put some dry wall screws to hold it in place and only used the lag bolts for the 6x mounting holes on the pull up bar?

Hi bro, great video. Have a question tho… Is it stable enough to do weighted muscles ups and heavy weighted pull ups ? It is stated on the website that the maximum weight is 500lbs (around 225kg). Just for an extreme example, do you think that it would be sturdy and solid enough to do muscle ups with 20-30kg and pulls ups with 80-100kg added weight ? Wish you a nice day and hope getting a response 😄
I see that in some videos that they mount the planks vertically whereas you chose to mount them horizontally. I can understand that vertically mounted planks would help protect the drywall underneath the support brackets. But, mounting the boards horizontally would, too. So the only advantage I can see for mounting the planks horizontally would be to screw in more lag screws between the two bar support brackets. That should tie all those in-between wall studs together and make the whole system stronger and steadier. Is that about right?
@@bbbvvhk I believe it is a safety factor. Remember, those wood planks are also screwed into other studs. If you just screwed the pullup bar into the wall/studs you would be screwing into the 2" side of the stud and could easily be off center. Get a couple of off center screws holding up your bar and there is the danger of the whole thing ripping out of the wall as you're bringing your feet up to the bar. With the planks, you are screwing into the plank which is screwed into other studs and you're going deep enough to be screwing into the stud, too. Much better chance of the bar not ripping out of the wall.
Essentially just drilling pilot holes through the wood and dry wall (and into the studs). Definitely helps to have a friend! You could even make separate holes to hang the wood first and then hang up the bar. 👍
I've got enough clearance above the bar so yes and structurally it is very sound. However, I wouldn't recommend just putting into drywall. You're definitely gonna need studs and the extra wood outside the drywall helps too.
Anything else you think the home gym is missing? Feel free to add your questions about the Titan pull up bar and I'll answer them ASAP.

The rings are no joke -- especially on dips or pull ups!
Can someone help understand why we need or should wood planks, when we can screw the bolts in the studs?

Hi do you think it’s safe to mount in a bedroom?
Q...tell me what is the weight of this pull up bar ??????
I made it from the fabrication shop and its weight was 11 kg.
Reason of installing wood
Should it give more strength

Great job mate.
Is that drywall by any chance?
No
Your garagegym is getting really sweet :)
Yeah I think this latest upgrade really give it "the look" now.
Did you install the pine onto the wall with any lag bolts, or did you just put some dry wall screws to hold it in place and only used the lag bolts for the 6x mounting holes on the pull up bar?
It's been a while but I wanna say we did the latter. Bolts went through the pine and studs. 5 inchers I believe.

If you have studs, is it still worth putting wood pieces in the back?
I would still do it, yes. I think it looks better too.

I do both muscle ups and weighted pull ups yes. I havent pushed the limits though.
what is the reason to install a 1" pine wood first?
Little bit of extra strength and length for the screws. Perhaps not required, but I would recommend it. I also like the way it looks.
Hahaha those crazy pull ups! Where do you recommend to start if I can’t do a single pull up? 😖
Australian Pull Ups or Jumping/Negative Pull Ups =)
Do you still need wood if you are fixing to a brick wall ?
I would imagine you're good without in that case.
Would it still be as stable if I widened it to fit a 70 inch bar?
I would think so. Mine is still going strong! I would forsure use the longer screws like I did.
@@BeReadySelfDefense I plan on doing muscle ups as well, but even with the extended 70 inch bar, if I add the wood supports you think it would hold?

I think that's a good assessment. I saw kind of a mix as well and mainly just liked how it looked horizontally haha.

I’m trying to find out how you put the wood up 1st to reinforce it and every video keeps skipping that step 😂

Can you do muscleups?? And can you attach to dry wall?

@@BeReadySelfDefense ok 🙏thankyou!!
Don't make fun in informative video 😡😠🤬
Nah.

Don't have that info on it anymore, but that sounds about right. I remember the pieces being pretty light.
