Pull ups can help you reach your optimal fitness level.
Pull-up bars come in many forms, such as between-pulley systems, freestanding pieces or steel frames to attach to wall and doorway The bar can be straight or curved and have attachments, such as handles to allow the palms to face each other. Assembling and hanging a wall-mounted frame will vary by manufacturer, but some basic steps ensure a strong and stable bar when you use it.
Instructions
1. Check the installation area. The wall needs to be load-bearing with studs spaced at 16 inches. The ceiling needs to be high enough for you to perform the motion of the pull up without hitting your head.
2. Mark the location where the top of the mount will be attached to the wall stud. Double check the clearance to the ceiling when you will perform the exercise.
3. Install the top brackets of the back mount in the locations you marked. These brackets should screw into the wall studs. Drill pilot holes to make the process easier.
4. Place the top of the pull-up bar onto the brackets. The front of the bar should extend at least 1-foot out from the wall so that your legs won't hit the wall during exercise.
5. Screw all the wall anchors into place.
