Hello my friend.Thank you for your video. I think it can be a bit confusing I know I was a little confused but if you simply switch the direction you do pull-ups you can put the backrest back in and face the backrest when you do pull-ups and you should still be able to get the same benefit.
@PaulYuNow2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I should have clarified in the video. Here's part of a review copied from Amazon (not mine) : "some people have complained about the horizontal center bars and that they keep hitting their shins and knees on the bar when doing chin-ups or Pull-Ups. I have found that if you actually face away from the power tower (i.e. facing away from the backrest/horizontal bars) that works much better." I've found this to be the case as well, as my shins and knees would bang against the bar near the bottom. That's why I face away. Hope that clears things up.

Thanks for the review and demonstration. I'm actually contemplating getting this but was wondering if the back rest gets into the way of doing different range of pull ups.
@PaulYuNow2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the back rest does brush my back when I'm doing chin ups. That's why I took it out.
@yassirbettioui96542 жыл бұрын
But you can do the pull ups on the other side then the back rest will be in front of you and will not be in the way

@@yassirbettioui9654 in that direction the legs get bothered by the lower bar underneath the back rest. People complain about that in the Amazon reviews. Even if you bend your knees, your knees hit the bar on your way down and it's painful.

Hey have you tried tightening up any possible loose screws so that it doesn't rattle when using it?
@PaulYuNow2 жыл бұрын
Yes I tightened all the screws. The rattle comes from the dip bars that have slightly big screw holes so the dip bars budge up and down a bit. Not a big deal though. Quite sturdy.
@Jodrco2 жыл бұрын
I think you’re supposed to be facing forward when doing pull ups (looking at the bars). And if it’s making vibration noises make sure all the screws are tight (you should hand screw them all and then tighten them after they are all in position with a tool)
@PaulYuNow2 жыл бұрын
As I said in other comments the bottom bar gets in the way of your legs if you pull up facing forward. It'll bang against it as you're coming down. Plus you'll find that even if you tighten the screws as tight as possible it'll still rattle a bit because there's a bit of leeway for the dip bars.

if your hands are usually sweaty, are rubber grips better on the pull up bar or are foam grips better?
@PaulYuNow Жыл бұрын
I think rubber grips are better than foam grips because foam grips warp and wear down easily with sweat and pressure. Imagine the foam getting caked with sweat over the years. Rubber you can wipe it off. But I use a towel so I don't even do that.
