CHIN UP ATTACHMENT FOR SUPER BENCH/PRO

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.

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.

I don’t have space for a power rack, so this is a life saver. Can use with a weight belt too.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Very sturdy and does not tip if you are doing proper ... Very sturdy and does not tip if you are doing proper pullups. If you kip you may have some issues.

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.

Five Stars Very well built equipment. Would purchase again.

Four Stars Very well built to last

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.

Awesome! Great attachment for my Ironmaster Super Bench!

very good product Very good product Practical, durable and saves a lot of space.

We love this product We love this product, it works perfect for us, and will continue to upgrade our bench and buy more attachments.

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.

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

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.

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).

Excellent addition to Super Bench Excellent product. Sturdy and solidly made. I will be a lifelong Ironmaster user.

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

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!
