About this deal

Another small detail is the absence of spring clips on the base parts of the Pull-Up Mate, which can easily cause the base to come loose when moving the whole device around. Although not a problem while doing pull-ups, it is annoying having to reassemble those parts after moving the pull-up bar. Gravity Fitness solves this by simply adding spring latches to all of their joints. If you're holding onto your pull-up bar as long as you can each and every day to increase your grip strength you're going to do more harm than good... A ceiling mounted pull-up bar is very similar in style and price to the wall mounted pull-up bar, but it is of course designed to be mounted from the ceiling instead of a wall. If you cannot perform one full Pull Up to completion, you need to work up your body strength by first doing other Calisthenics exercises. A good way to build up enough strength to graduate towards Pull Ups is doing Rows. The easiest way to do rows is as follows:

Want to mix it up? Here's a variety of dead hang variations to add to your regime once you've mastered the standard overhand grip dead hang from a pull-up bar. Gravity Fitness has become renowned for producing top-quality pull-up bars that not only last the distance but yield next-level results. The latest drop in our pull-up bar range is no different but this time we’re taking jaw-to-the-floor pull-up performance to the…... door. The maximum weight capacity for the Pull-Up Mate is 265lbs, which is fair bit higher than the 243lbs for the Gravity Fitness. If you’re a normal practitioner under 200lbs, this difference shouldn’t pose a problem at all. However, if you’re considering adding a weighted vest, you may want to add that additional 40 to 60 pounds into your calculation. The SetupWall mounted pull-up bars are the first bar type in this guide which I would consider a permanent fixing – the bar is bolted into the wall meaning it cannot (easily) be moved once assembled. Whether this goes up to the promised 880lbs, we can’t say for sure. The best we can do is to have two of our burliest testers (and who together weigh 389lbs) hang from the INNSTAR Pull Up Bar at once and do Pull Ups. Although it was a bit crowded, the bar remained firmly in place. The bar is very similar to the Trend-Welt bar in that it is a telescopic-type bar which can be positioned between the doorframe without needing to use the optional fixings. It's common to automatically try and engage your lats if you were going to perform a pull-up when you're hanging from the bar... but don't!

With a maximum weight capacity of 250lbs, it competes in the top range of Door Pull Up Bars and can be used for virtually every Calisthenics exercise you can do with a “normal” Pull Up Bar. The only limiting factor being the two hand-sized handles and the ways you can grip them. The handles themselves are comfortable enough for extended use. The main attraction here is of course its dimensions. With measurements of 12” x 10” x 4¾” they take up virtually no space at all. While the extra stability may be a selling point for the Pull Up Mate, it’s nothing that a couple of inexpensive sandbags cannot fix. When performing dips, pull-ups, or rows, either piece of equipment will be steady enough.Both the Pull-Up Mate and the Gravity Fitness are made of durable, high gauge tubular steel. A solid, scratch-resistant coating is applied with an even finish. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, although we always prefer to keep our Calisthenics equipment clean and dry. A wall mounted or ceiling mounted pull-up bar will require at least two people to set up, and will involve some DIY as you will likely need to drill into your wall or ceiling. A ceiling mounted pull-up bar is ideal for those who have exposed beams in their house or garage and want to get the most out of the available space. The PULLUP & DIP flexible pull up bar is designed to wrap around a tree, lamppost, pillar, or something similar. It is constructed with a steel powder coating and stainless steel for the multi-bars.

Most people (understandably) only buy a single pull-up bar, so it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of bar before you buy one. Gravity Fitness have designed our heavy-duty wall mounted pull up bar to offer outstanding performance whilst keeping it attainable to all in terms of availability and value for money. Suitable for commercial establishments and home gym setups. A point of contention is offered warranty. The Pull-Up Mate comes with a 1-year factory guarantee. The warranty on the Gravity Fitness is 3 years however. Together with the slightly more economical pricing, the Gravity Fitness is the better value for money option. Pull-Up Mate vs Gravity Fitness Bar Review: ConclusionsDoorway Pull Up Bars:we recommend getting these if you are really strapped for space in your situation or need an inexpensive way to start doing Calisthenics. A “hidden” advantage of the Doorway Pull Up Bar is that you’re not limited to hanging them up high. They can also double as a dipping barby placing them around waist height. Door Frame Pull Up Handles:as a space-saving alternative to Door Frame Pull Up Bars or if you don’t have a door with enough clearance on either side to fit a Door Frame Pull Up Bar. They are also great as an addition to your home gym when you are away from home. A pull-up station is often the most expensive of the different types and is also the largest. The size and shape of most pull-up stations are similar to that of a free standing pull-up bar (if not bigger), however, it is designed to be assembled once and not dismantled, so it is the most space consuming of all the different types. The Sportastisch ‘Powerful’ Pull-Up Bar was one of two Sportastisch bars I reviewed in this dedicated post.
