One of the best pieces of equipment out there. If you don’t have some kind of pull-up apparatus available to you, we strongly encourage you to use this list and get one. Pull-ups are an upper body mainstay. There are very few exercises that can unite so many different training disciplines, but the pull-up is one of them.Yes. As with most bodyweight movements, you should be able to do a moderate amount of daily exercise without overtraining your muscles and joints. Despite its complex functionality, this station is easy to put together and comes with all the necessary tools for assembling it. Designed to wedge itself in so that it doesn’t move, this bar is made from heavy duty steel and has specially designed non-slip pads on each end. When properly secured, it can support up to 440lbs of weight, which is more than enough load bearing to support weighted pull-ups. At this price point, it’s a great deal too.

What are the benefits of pullups, exactly? "Besides the fact that they can truly increase your confidence—especially when you finally achieve one—it helps with upper body, core, and leg strength, too," explains Angela Gargano, CPT, creator of Pull Up Revolution. "It's a full body move! Doing pullups will also help a ton with your posture," she says.From New York City studio apartments to massive garage gyms, in our opinion, everyone should be doing some sort of pull-up. Location, training style, and ability to install are just a few of the things you should consider before buying a pull-up bar. But we think there’s one thing beyond consideration: You should definitely have one in your training arsenal. To Install or Not to Install Pull-ups are great, but like any exercise, variations can open up a whole new list of training benefits. Even just changing your grip slightly to do neutral grip or supinated grip chin ups can make a huge impact when it comes to hitting different muscles. Not all bars have that many options, so you may want to find one that enables you to switch it up if you plan on doing a lot of pull-ups.
