What exercises are possible with a pull-up bar?
Exercises
In addition to selecting and correctly installing the pull-up bar, the correct execution of the strength exercises is very important, especially for beginners. There are many ways to do this, such as offset pull-ups, pull-ups with additional weight or pull-ups with an underhand or overhand grip. With these variations, you are guaranteed to master this king of strength training exercises with flying colors and quickly strengthen your shoulder and back muscles while also avoiding injuries.
Pull-ups with underhand grip
Also known as a chin-up among fitness professionals, the underhand grip is one of the most common grips for performing pull-ups. In this case, as the name suggests, the bar is gripped from below. It is important to ensure that the palms of the hands face the body. In this variant, the triceps and the latissimus - the broad back muscle - are the focus of the muscular strain.
Pull-ups with overhand grip
In contrast to the underhand grip, but only slightly different, is the pull-up with an overhand grip. Here, only the position of the hands is different. In the so-called pull-ups or the classic, you hold the pull-up bar with a comb grip, so that this time the back of your hand is facing you - shoulder-width apart should be sufficient here. You now pull yourself up until your chin is at the height of the bar. Then you slowly lower yourself back down. In this case, the shoulder muscles are particularly challenged.
With both the underhand and overhand grips, it's up to you whether you keep your legs straight or bent. The main thing is that you don't overexert yourself and that, as a beginner, you only do a maximum of three repetitions per week on the pull-up bar. Try it out for yourself and decide which variation suits you and your abilities best.
Types of pull-up bars
Before you decide to order a pull-up bar online, you need to be clear about the types and conditions in your home. There are pull-up bars for door frames, wall mounting and ceiling mounting. They all have their own advantages, but ultimately it depends on your living situation.
Wall mounting
Another alternative is to mount pull-up bars on the wall. Firstly, you need to get permission to drill into the wall and secondly, the wall must be made of a robust material (concrete and stone ceilings). If this is the case, the bar is anchored in the wall with several deep holes and steel screws. This also results in the clear advantage of this type of installation, namely a high load-bearing capacity.
Ceiling mounting
Another very stable and load-bearing method is ceiling mounting of pull-up bars. This requires a sufficiently high ceiling. As with wall mounting, the bar is anchored firmly in the ceiling with dowels and screws. The central position in the room also offers even more opportunities to carry out extensive exercises.
Door frame
The pull-up bar for the door frame or door bar is a good product for beginners. You don't need any screws or tools to assemble it, you just clamp the bar between the door frame using a spreading mechanism. The disadvantage of this model is the lower load capacity, the advantage is the maximum space saving.
Wall bars
For the more advanced among you who already have wall bars in your home gym, a pull-up bar is a good option. It functions as an extension. It is simply hung and hooked into the wall bars. The advantage is that it can be removed after each workout to save space. However, the pull-up bars for wall bars are much less resilient than, for example, in the case of wall mounting.

FAQ´s - Your questions, our answers
Buying a pull-up bar: What should I know?
Now the question arises as to which criteria, in addition to the type of assembly, are important when buying a pull-up bar. First of all, the safety factor is more important than the price. Because a fall from a height of almost a meter onto your knees due to poor workmanship and anchoring is painful and can lead to moderate injuries. The pull-up bars from Bad-Company meet a high safety standard and are solidly built. The best thing to do is to see for yourself and choose the pull-up bar from our range that best suits you and your training needs. You can easily order it online and it will be delivered to you quickly.
Load capacity
Just as with the type of installation, there are also significant differences in the load-bearing capacity of pull-up bars. The load-bearing capacity is usually between 100 kg in the case of the door bar and up to 400 kg in the case of the ceiling-mounted pull-up bar.
Width
The width is particularly important when installing in a door frame. For this reason, you should measure your door frame before purchasing and then select a pull-up bar with the appropriate span.
Mounting type
As mentioned elsewhere, you can choose between wall and ceiling mounting, as well as mounting on the wall bars or a clamp bar for the door frame. Which type of mounting is best depends on your home circumstances and sporting plans.
Space requirement
Since the pull-up bar is particularly space-saving, this is only relevant for you if you want to install it in a very small room. In this case, a pull-up bar for the door frame or a pull-up bar for wall mounting is a good option.
Features
The functional possibilities of a pull-up bar are basically limited by your imagination. Whether you pull yourself up in the classic way and try to get your chin to the height of the bar or, as a professional, you put additional weights on your legs or around your torso - everything is possible here. Find your own way to achieve training success.
Handles
When it comes to the correct grip for the pull-up bar, it depends on your training goal - or the muscle groups that you want to target. Your existing strength also plays a crucial role. For beginners, we recommend the classic pull-up with an overhand grip.
