Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar Review


Ultimate Body Press Joist Mount Pull Up BarOverview:

The Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar is a great piece of equipment. The best thing about a joist mounted pull up bar is that you’re not going to deal with any clearance issues that you might with a doorframe or wall mounted bar. You can work out on a bar like this hard and not worry about hitting your face, knees or body on any obstructions.
The Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar is made out of steel and has a 350 lb weight capacity. I couldn’t find a single review on this bar that said the durability of this machine is questionable. Even the negative reviews stated that the Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar is very well built. You won’t have to worry about this bar flexing or coming apart even during your most intense workouts.
Ultimate Body Fitness also offers a full line of fitness accessories like push-up rings, abdominal straps and gymnastic rings fit this bar and can easily be installed. Though not included, purchasing this additional equipment will greatly increase the number of exercises that you can perform with the Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar.

Assembly and Installation:

Like most chin-up/pull-up bars, the Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar is easy to assemble. It should only take about 15 minutes to measure, drill your holes and hang the bar. Some reviewers did comment that they had to drill out the holes on the bar a little more, so be aware that this may be the case when you get your delivery. Keep in mind, assembly only happens once, and afterward you’re going to have a strong piece of exercise equipment.

About the Manufacturer:

Ultimate Body Press is located in Pennsylvania and was founded in 2006. They have everything you need for high intensity, body weight resistance workouts for people with limited space. They provide a huge line of the best dip stations, dip stands and pull up bars, including a Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar.

What We Love About the Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar

The best thing about the Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar is that Ultimate Body Press built this thing to last. It has a 250 lb weight capacity and can take a beating. I didn’t see a single review questioning its durability. Another great thing about this bar is the parallel grips. So besides the normal chin-ups and pull-ups with narrow, neutral and wide grips, you also get the ability to do hammer grip chin-ups/pull-ups to but serious focus on the shoulders and back. Ultimate Body Press makes two separate Joist Mounted Pull Up Bars; one with a 26” width between the parallel bars and one with 19”. Depending on your body size, make sure you buy the one that fits you best.

What Isn’t So GreatUltimate Body Press Pull Up

There are a couple of nuisances that aren’t so great with the Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up bar. First, as I said earlier, you may have to drill out the mounting holes again. Some users said that the bolts were too tight or they couldn’t get the bolts through at all. If you need to do this, it’s going to take a metal drill bit that you may or may not need to purchase. The other nuisance with this bar is that the grips tend to slip. With foam grips, I don’t think they last very long on any chin-up/pull-up bar. So, if you don’t like the feel of a metal grip, then you’re probably going to have to spend a little money on exercise tape.

Final Word on the Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar

The Ultimate Body Press Joist Mounted Pull Up Bar comes in two designs based on the spacing on the parallel grips. One has a 26” spacing and the other has 19” spacing. Both retail for $109.99, but are sold for around $65 on the manufacturer’s website. This is a great bar and for that price you will definitely get your monies worth
