Chin ups and pull ups are THE upper body compound pulling exercise for building a thicker, wider back and bigger biceps. Forget adding endless new back exercises to your routine, Work hard at the basics like chin ups and pull ups and you’ll build mass and strength.
But you need a chin up or pull up bar you can trust. The Ironmaster Chin Attachment is a must have for lifters who know the value of chin ups and pull ups in a home gym routine. This is a quality, durable attachment for chin ups, made from superb materials using excellent craftsmanship.
Pull ups are used by everyone who’s serious about upper body strength, from the military to competitive strength athletes. You can spot someone who does chin ups a mile off. Chins and pull ups give you that broad back and v-taper look – and a great posture.
More importantly, maintaining strength in your posterior muscles keeps your back strong and healthy during sport and everyday activities, and helps ward off muscle loss as you age. Upper body muscle strength can also help prevent injuries, aches, and pains.
“More stable & higher off the ground than all but the best doorway bars, plus it’s portable, & takes up no additional space, as it’s attached to a (great) bench that I needed anyway.” – Vince V.

Exercises to try with your Ironmaster Chin Up Attachment
Pull ups
Work on your back width and thickness with classic pull ups. Adjust the height of the Chin Up Attachment. Hold onto the bar with a medium to wide grip, palms facing away. Pull yourself up using your lats and flexing at the elbow. Your elbows should drive into your sides and your chin should reach the bar without any swinging or jerking movements. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
Chin ups
To focus more on your biceps, switch pull ups for chin ups. Perform the above movement, but with your palms facing towards you. This will work your back, but will shift more of the work into your arms.
Neutral grip pull ups
This variation works your back and arms, and can be a good option for people yet to master the pull up. Perform the chin up as described above, but have your palms facing together in a neutral grip.
Leg / knee raises
Work your core using your Chin Up attachment. Start with your back towards the bench, with your arms above your head holding onto the pull up attachment. Bring your knees towards your body (with legs bent or straight). Return to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat.
“I love my Ironmaster Super Bench and my Chin Up Attachment is currently my most used attachment.” – Andy

Works great I purchased the chin-up bar, along with many other attachments for my Superbench. I love not having to purchase a separate machine to do pull-ups. It is height adjustable, so even I can reach it from the floor and I am only 5’3″. I don’t typically do chin-ups without help from a gravitron or something similar, so I use a step stool and use my legs to help when needed. I’m sure I’ll grow stronger and not need the step stool soon. Also being a short female slightly over 100 lbs,I have to be very careful when installing and removing the chin-up attachment. The attachment is very good quality metal, and is top heavy….so installing and removing is a minor workout for me. Update March 27,2009. I now install the attachment while the bench is flat, rather than raised. Installing the attachment is now a breeze.

Stable, excellent attachment for Superbench My concern when purchasing this attachment was its stability – would it wobble while I was doing pull ups/chin ups? I am 185 lbs and am glad to say it is stable. I live in an apartment, so I don’t have room for both a bench and more expensive power tower, but I did want something a bit more robust than the removable/portable door jam bar I had been using. This attachment fits the bill perfectly. In fact, I find the whole line of Ironmaster products (I own the Quicklock Dumbbells , Super Bench , Super Bench situp attachment , Super Bench dip attachment , and this chin up attachment) to be a good solution for someone who wants a versatile, durable, yet compact home gym. My one complaint with the chin up attachment is that it is very tall/long and top heavy so you have to be careful when attaching/removing it from the super bench. I don’t really consider this a design flaw of the attachment, though, it’s just the nature of the item.

it meet my needs and was very well built the chin up attachment is a very well build product, it works great as long as you don’t get to carryed away. It will rock the bench a little just use your head and it works fine. I would tell my frends to get this product

Great addition to the bench Great attachment… easy to install and reasonably stable. It has a nice rubbery material on the bar that provides for a comfortable grip without being too spongy.

I’ve given away all of my other chin up bars. If you wanted to do kipping chins or swings of any type, you’d need more stability & more lateral clearance, but for straight-up-&-down chins & pulls, this is a great convenience: More stable & higher off the ground than all but the best doorway bars, plus it’s portable, & takes up no additional space, as it’s attached to a (great) bench that I needed anyway.

It works Very convenient for small spaces. Sure the bench can wobble if you’re off balance, but that’s your problem to fix. If the bench tilts all the way over your feet are still close enough to the ground to catch it. That has not happened to me BTW. I wish it had grips for the center grip. Wear gloves or use a towel if your hands get sweaty.

Solid well built attachment I bought this attachment for my superbench and love it. This attachment for the Super Bench is a great way to work your lats and arms. Do chin ups or pull ups without taking up more space! The bar is adjustable in height from 78 to 89 to fit most anyone and is rated for 300 lbs. Neoprene grip area and chrome frame tube. Wide grip, narrow grip or neutral grip options. This attachment like all Iron master products is solid, well built and will last forever.

works great… but since this is mounted high up from the bench there tends to be a lot of wobbly movement when doing quick reps. i suggest weighing the front down with some 45 lb plates to fix this problem.

Great attachment if you are in the Ironmaster “ecosystem” I have been lifting for 20+ years and have been through home gyms and commercial gyms. I have used virtually EVERY piece of equipment out there. While Ironmaster products are not true commercial pieces of equipment, they are a heck of a value for what you pay for them. The chin up attachment is no different. I am 250lbs and use this with a weighted vest for pull-ups. It has the potential to tip (if you are really poor with your form), but I would have to say this is at least as stable as any “power tower” you would buy, if not more so. Grips could have a tad more diameter to them, but I use “fatgripz” to increase the diameter anyway, so no big deal. Don’t believe the hype that you need a commercial gym to get in shape. The ironmaster bench, coupled with various accessories, and a set of 5-130lb powerblock dumbbells, have given me workouts that rival those I have had at top notch Gold’s and World gym franchises.

headline Great attachment for the super bench. Though it is not completely sturdy, you can still work out with not problems at all. So far so good!

chin up bar Bought this Chin Up Bar to go with the Ironmaster workout bench for my son. My son loves it. He’s been wanting a sturdy chin up bar for a while now. We have tried the ones you attach to your door frame but they didn’t work for him. This is a great product and would highly recommend it. Easy to assemble too.

Very strong and high quality – concerns resolved! I will say that the Dumbells are very good quality (or so I thought) the handles are chrome dipped, and have begin chipping. I hope the pull up bar does not follow it’s cousin!

Excellent Bench Accessory After 2 months of use, I find this attachment to be sturdy and reliable. It is also height adjustable to accommodate low ceilings. I highly recommend it.

Pretty good, well made. A little wobble now and then, but overall I like it. I use it for P90x since there is no place I can put a door pull up bar. It has served me well. Very well built.

A good solution if you have limited space I am really happy with the bench and the attachments. This , and the dip attachment work really well for me.I bought a tower to do P90x3 and it served me well( I have a review on it ), but it took up so much valuable space, that I took a leap of faith , sold it, and bought this instead. I’m now doing the elite block of P90x3 , and this thing works great.I have to be more careful with my form, compared to the huge tower, but you would really have to be kipping to make this thing tip over.The materials and construction are top notch…especially the welds.I’m not going to say that is its 100% perfect. I would much rather have a permanent bar hanging from the ceiling, but this is a pretty great solution for people who have limited space.

Works great and stable! I have used this attachment on my Super Bench for pull ups and chin ups. With proper form, this attachment is very sturdy and reliable. I love how it helps save on space and you can easily adjust its height for ceiling clearance.

Real stable Bought this and it’s pretty stable. No swinging or rocking. I’m 5 foot 7 and about 190 lbs. I like it cause it saves space too.
Posted by Reviewer Published on
Great Bar I bought this along with the Super Bench and Cable Tower and so far it’s been great. I’m 5’10” and 205lbs and this thing is very solid and does not wobble or rock at all when I’m using it.
Thanks to Ironmaster I have an entire home gym that fits into a 5 foot by 4 foot section of my bedroom when put away (this includes weight plates and other accessories).
Posted by David Published on
Love it! It’s solid and easy to use! I’ve owned this attachment for several years, using it regularly. It works exactly like you would expect it to and I only experience a little bit of wobble on the last few reps. It’s at those times where my form isn’t at 100% but I can get there with a little inertia. At those times the balance of the super bench becomes off a little bit and some counterweight placed on the front feet of the bench eliminates the wobble.

People have been saying that it’s shaky – Well that’s obvious since the ones we use in the GYM are bolted to the ground so if you want the same effect try bolting your Ironmaster Super bench to the ground. I’m 12 stone and I personally have no problems with it and it’s stable without it being hooked to the floor. People say that the bars are not padded enough – Well who wants a pull up bar for wimps? not even the GYM has padded bars. What I like about this bar is I can do wipers for my abs and I can lift my legs all the way up vertically and more to do other ab workouts with pure stability. Don’t be fooled cause its heavy duty. I even plan on buying some fat gripz to enhance my grip strength while doing pull ups. Overall 1st class quality and strength for the price. Awesome!

I love my Iron Master Super Bench and my chin up attachment is currently my most used attachment it can be used for so many things! Chip ups (obviously), knee raises (And multiple variations off) and then I can put tubing round it to allow for pull down type movements like you would with a cable machine at a Gym so super versatile! You can vary the height too and it really is very study, I tend to put a dumbbell on the other side of the bench but I don’t think I really need to it is more a dumbs feather than anything. Great kit and great bench I can’t recommend it highly enough and I also had cause to use Valley Fitness after sales and can tell you they are 100% fantastic my issue was resolved to my total satisfaction no quibbles at all, if only all companies had these ethics these guys are awesome!

It’s well made and substantial as you’d come to expect from an Ironmaster product. It’s easy to assemble (four screws to attach chin attachment to main bar) but a little bit of challenge attaching it to the bench due to it’s size and awkwardness. The several height settings makes it an attractive product for people of all heights. Now for the downsides, there is a fair bit of movement when in use. Whilst it is secure, when slotted into the the bench the attachment isn’t 100% solid in the slot so there is some wobble. I’m not talking major movement, more of a ‘bounce really, but when you put all your weight on the bar you will feel it! As for the much discussed threat of side to side sway due to the narrowness of the bench legs, I didn’t notice any and I’m not sure why anyone would, this isn’t a bar for kipping after all! Overall, it’s an excellent product and is exactly what you need when space is at a premium but it does lose a star for it’s sturdiness or slight lack there of.

I had been experimenting with the ‘hook onto the door frame’ type of home chin bars, but all they did was ruin my plaster work and mark the door frame. I then tried an actual chin bar that attached to the wall. Unfortunately our internal walls proved insufficient to take the load. Being extremely happy with my Superbench I thought I would give Ironmasters Chin Up attachment a go. I am so glad I did. Easy fitment, selectable height, and solid and sturdy when assembled. It takes up to 300lb’s which for most home training individuals is over engineered. Brilliant piece of kit! Can’t recommend it enough. No doubt I will be coming back to Valley Fitness for more additional equipment soon.

This is a very good piece of kit. Very sturdy. Easy to fit to the super bench. The handles are comfortable and the grips are nice. It can be a little difficult to get in and out of the bench in a restricted space, but that is not the fault of the equipment. The height adjustment is good as myself and my partner are very different heights but we can both use this with ease! Great piece of kit and it beats having to go out in the garden to use my old chinning bar!

I used this for a number of years, before I purchased a full rack with chin up bars. They were excellent to use and did the job well. I used them with a maximum of 50kg of added weight for weighted chin ups (so tested to 130kg with my bodyweight) and they performed very well. The only adjustment I made was to add the ironmaster dumbbells to the front of the bench for added stability, as much psychological as anything else and it was still stable without. I also found the weight from weighted chin ups could slide occasionally against the bench adjustment ring, though this was a minor issue and only evident during the eccentric phase. I would highly recommend these to anyone with an ironmaster bench who does not have a chinup bar. Sturdy and long lasting.
Posted by Chris Published on
I just purchased this chin attachment along witht he hyper core attachment (I’ll review sperately) and it is superb quality as others have stated. There is not much i can add to what has been said. Those mentioning that this is not very stable, I just dont see it !!! At 6’4″ and weighing 240ibs it seems perfectly stable to me. Obviously you are not going to get away with doing kips on it but if you purchased this thinking you would be able to, you are mad.
Rock solid for me doing traditional pulls and chins.
Posted by James Published on
Just got it, and did a lot of research before diving into the Super Bench Pro system. The pull up bar seems sturdy and heavy duty. I didn’t want a doorway pullup bar, they never feel right and make me nervous for the doorway. This feels much sturdier. I will say, there is a little bit of wobble from side to side for the bench. This might have to do with my bench being on carpet, but it’s not that big of a deal. When your bodyweight is added, it feels solid. Can always put plates on the base if needed. Yes, inserting it when it’s flat would be best, it’s top heavy and can feel like a little workout just loading it onto the bench. Glad I went with the Pro with the updated attachment system. Go for it!

I had the original Pull up attachment from 2007. I feel this one is much better. I love having the palms facing angle and I swear even the leather wrapped handles are even better quality materials now. I have the Chin up Attachment for the IM2000 but still use this for my private bootcamps. Its perfect when training groups of people. You aren’t going to able to do kipping pullups like you can in Cross fit but slow and fast pull ups to get your back super pumped is easy with this stable accessory.

This chin up bar is strong, fairly priced, easily assembled, and works well for the Super Bench.

One of the reasons I purchased the Super Bench Pro was because of the variety of attachments that were available, but especially the Chin Up Bar. Previously, I had a free-standing unit that took up a lot of floor space. This attachment freed up that space. I am very happy with how easily and quickly it attaches to the bench (once you get the hang of it) so that it can be attached or removed in the middle of a workout, if you need the bench in another position for a different exercise, very quickly. Besides chin ups and pull ups I am happy that the unit is sturdy enough that I am also able to do hanging leg raises. And when not in use, the attachment “disappears” into a corner of the room. This attachment, like the Super PRO Bench, has performed better than I expected it to. Fits my needs perfectly.
Posted by Ronald F Published on
Surprisingly solid and stable. Well built and easy to install. Just need to watch out for overhead fixtures, like ceiling fans, when setting it upright. Right now I just hang there, but I’m sure it will remain stable if I ever am able to do some pull ups!

I don’t have space for a power rack, so this is a life saver. Can use with a weight belt too.
Posted by Neil Martin Published on
Like all Ironmaster Super Bench attachments, this accessory is well-designed and well-constructed. It is very stable in use – I am 6′ tall and around 198 lbs – it easily handles chin-ups and even controlled leg raises and feels rock solid as long as you have a flat, solid floor. I am unsure how well it would cope with more ballistic movements like swinging leg raises or ‘kipping’ cross-fit style chin-ups, but that is not my intended use.
Overall, it is a great, cost-effective addition to my Super Bench investment and further extends my training opportunities.
