Overview:
The Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar is a nice piece of equipment with a lot of exercise options. You get the normal chin-up/pull-up option with narrow, neutral and wide grips. This bar also comes with parallel bars for a hammer grip that will let you isolate the back and shoulder muscles.
The Ultimate Body Press Pull Up Bar is made out of steel and has welded joints. With its 300 lb weight capacity, it’s sure to stand up to the most intense workouts. Don’t push it, but if you at the upper end of this bar’s weight capacity, I’m confident you’ll be fine on this bar. Ultimate Body Press has built a solid and durable chin-up/pull-up bar in their wall mounted pull up bar.
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 Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar.

What We Love About the Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar
The Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar has a lot of great features, most of which are explained above. You get a lot of great exercise options from this bar, including hammer grip pull-ups. The very best thing, however, is this is a strong, durable bar. This bar is going to take abuse. I didn’t see a single review that commented on this bar flexing or not standing up to the user’s weight. You’ll have this bar for a long time.
What Isn’t So Great
There are a couple of things that aren’t so great about the Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar. First, the clearance from the pull-up/chin-up bar is 13”; you get to 20” using the parallel grips. At this distance, you might hit the wall with your feet. So, you have two options in this case. One, perform controlled chin-ups/pull-ups, or two, mount this bar above a doorway so that you can get adequate clearance through the doorframe. The other thing that’s not so great about this bar are the bolts. A few people report that they’re on the cheap side. You want to make sure you have the Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar installed well, so make a trip to the hardware store and get some heavy-duty lag bolts.
Final Word on the Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar
The Ultimate Body Press Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar is a decent buy for its price. It’s strong and durable and built to last. When installing this bar, make sure you think out where you’re going to hang it to get the best clearance, measure perfectly so you hit the center of your wall studs and make a run to the local hardware store to get some heavy-duty lag bolts. If you take these steps, you have nothing to worry about with this purchase.
