Fitarc Joist Pull-Up Bar for 2.1–2.4 m Joists — Fixed Beam-Mounted, 200 kg Rating

The Fitarc Joist Pull Up Bar is a heavy-duty, beam-mounted chin-up and pull-up station specifically built to attach to 7–8 ft wood joists for stable, space-saving upper-body training.

Engineered for home gyms, basements and garages where floor space is limited, this fixed joist-mounted bar gives you a durable, no-swing anchor for pull-ups, chin-ups, hangs and multiple grip variations. Made from thick steel tubing with a wide mounting plate and a seven-point bolt pattern, it spreads load across the beam to minimize motion when correctly installed on a structurally sound wood joist.

How does the Fitarc Joist Pull Up Bar improve my upper-body workouts?

This pull-up bar lets you perform pull-ups, chin-ups, dead hangs and grip-strength exercises that target the back, shoulders, arms and core. Multiple hand positions permit different muscle emphasis and more exercise variety without extra equipment.

• Five grip positions: wide, medium, narrow, neutral and underhand for diverse muscle targeting.
• Dead hangs to build grip and shoulder endurance.
• Stable fixed mounting helps reduce unwanted movement during reps.
• Compact design keeps the floor area clear for other equipment.

Is the bar strong and safe enough for heavy use?

The unit is rated to support up to 440 lbs when installed correctly into a solid wood beam, combining thick steel tubing with a broad mounting plate and seven bolt locations. The multi-point mounting layout distributes forces across the joist to reduce stress concentrations.

• 440 lb maximum load rating for controlled lifting and bodyweight work.
• Seven-point mounting pattern for even force distribution.
• Large base plate reduces wobble when secured to structural wood.
• Requires correct hardware and installation on sound beams for safety.

What beam sizes and installation requirements should I know about?

This model is designed specifically for wood joists placed 7 to 8 feet above the finished floor—measure before buying to ensure compatibility. It is a fixed-mounted solution intended for structurally sound beams; it is not a clamp or doorway unit and must be bolted into the joist with appropriate fasteners.

• Compatibility: 7–8 ft beam height from finished floor.
• Installation: permanent bolted mount into solid wood joists recommended.
• Not suitable for drywall-only or unsupported surfaces—requires structural backing.
• Follow local building codes and use appropriate fasteners and tools.

How can I use the different grips to get more from one bar?

Switching hand positions changes the mechanical emphasis of each rep—wider grips stress the lats and upper back while narrow and underhand grips shift load toward the biceps. Neutral grips reduce shoulder strain for joint-friendly pulling, and multiple grips expand your exercise library using a single fixture.

• Wide grip targets outer lats and creates a broader back appearance.
• Narrow and underhand grips increase biceps involvement and range of motion.
• Neutral handles are shoulder-friendly for pressing or rowing variations.
• Use alternating grips across sets to balance development and reduce overuse.

Who is this for: The Fitarc Joist Pull Up Bar suits home gym owners, basement or garage athletes, and anyone who has a structurally sound wood beam 7–8 ft above the floor and wants a permanent, compact solution for bodyweight pulling, grip training, and upper-body conditioning. If you need a portable or door-frame solution, consider a different model; otherwise, this fixed, multi-grip bar delivers a stable platform for progressive calisthenics and strength work.
