A free standing pull up bar provides a great way to perform pull ups in the comfort of your home. These devices are great if you can find a high quality one. However, there are many on the market that are sub par in design and usability. Some are cheap made and so shaky that they may seem dangerous to use and can cause injury or just a miserable workout experience. This article will outline some of the most important things to look for when you decide to purchase one of these for your home workout area.
The first thing you'll want to look at is the design of the pull up bar. This is an extremely important part of the process since you'll want to make sure it is structurally sound enough to hold your weight. You'll want to make sure the frame is made of solid steel but more importantly, you'll want to make sure it is designed in a way that won't allow the pull up bar to wobble while you are using it. Obviously, you'll want to determine the stability of it by making sure it provides proper footing and balance while using it. You can typically try them out if you are buying one in a store but you'll simply have to use common sense and read user reviews when looking online.
The next thing you'll want to ensure is that the bar itself is comfortable and will provide various hand position options. I suggest you stay away from those straight bars that provide no relief for your wrist while you are using them. If you have ever used one, you probably know what I mean by this. If not, just opt for one that has bent ends on it because these will make for a more comfortable experience. It is also important to ensure the padding on the bar is high quality and not to squishy while using it.
The last thing you'll want to look at is the overall dimensions of the unit you are interested in. Many people buy one and get it home only to realize that it won't fit in the section of their home that they had originally planned. Simply measure out a space in your home, write it down and take those measurements with you. The measurements are usually always written on the box or the sales display at the store. If you are shopping online, you can typically find this information quite easy.
Free standing pull up bars can make a great addition to your home gym and if you're on a workout program that requires you to do chin-ups or pull-ups, you'll love this option. They are sturdier than the kind that attach to your doorway and make a better long term solution. Just make sure you do your homework before you make the final decision on the one you'll buy. Buying the right one for your needs is very important in determining how much it will be used. Get it right the first time and you'll have a pleasant experience but if not, you'll regret your purchase.
