What is the best pull-up bar for a basement on Amazon? Well, that varies greatly depending on your basement. All basements are different. Different heights, different construction, different material type.
Before we get into it I also have an article on How To Make Your Own Dip Bars. Pretty simple and worthy of a look-see.
Things To Consider
So, it takes a little planning to figure what you want with the basement you have. There is no one size fits all for every basement. Some basements have steel I-beams, some basements have 2 X 10 joist.
Another main deciding factor is height. If your basement is 7 feet or under you will have a harder time performing chin-ups and installing a chin-up bar properly. Height can be a problem due to having your arms outstretched and most people being around 6 feet tall there is an obvious problem here.
Ideally, you want 8 to 10 feet for the height of your basement for easy set up as well as performing a pull-up without having to tuck your knees in. You can tuck your knees if you have a shorter basement height and is better than having nothing.
It is best to take a tape measure down to your basement and find out what you are working with in terms of height and then proceed from there. Then spend some time determining what kind of structure you have to attach to down in the basement.
