Pull-Up Bar
How to adjust
- There are no adjustable parts on a fixed bar — the only choice is grip position/width (wide overhand, close underhand, or neutral).
How to use
- Jump or step up to grip the bar with your chosen grip, hanging with arms fully extended.
- Pull your body up until your chin clears the bar, then lower under control back to a full hang.
Safety notes
- Check the bar and its mounting are secure and can support your full bodyweight before hanging your full weight from it.
- Keep the shoulders slightly active (not fully passive) at the bottom of the hang to protect the shoulder joints.
- Check there is clear floor or a box underneath to come down onto before you hang.
- The moment you can't make a clean rep or your grip starts slipping, lower under control, get your feet onto the floor or a box, and only then let go — don't grind out one more rep and drop from height.
