Excellent Bench Accessory After 2 months of use, I find this attachment to be sturdy and reliable. It is also height adjustable to accommodate low ceilings. I highly recommend it. Posted on Amazon.com

Very strong and high quality - concerns resolved! I will say that the Dumbells are very good quality (or so I thought) the handles are chrome dipped, and have begin chipping. I hope the pull up bar does not follow it's cousin! Posted on Amazon.com

chin up bar Bought this Chin Up Bar to go with the Ironmaster workout bench for my son. My son loves it. He's been wanting a sturdy chin up bar for a while now. We have tried the ones you attach to your door frame but they didn't work for him. This is a great product and would highly recommend it. Easy to assemble too. Posted on Amazon.com

headline Great attachment for the super bench. Though it is not completely sturdy, you can still work out with not problems at all. So far so good! Posted on Amazon.com

Great attachment if you are in the Ironmaster "ecosystem" I have been lifting for 20+ years and have been through home gyms and commercial gyms. I have used virtually EVERY piece of equipment out there. While Ironmaster products are not true commercial pieces of equipment, they are a heck of a value for what you pay for them. The chin up attachment is no different. I am 250lbs and use this with a weighted vest for pull-ups. It has the potential to tip (if you are really poor with your form), but I would have to say this is at least as stable as any "power tower" you would buy, if not more so. Grips could have a tad more diameter to them, but I use "fatgripz" to increase the diameter anyway, so no big deal. Don't believe the hype that you need a commercial gym to get in shape. The ironmaster bench, coupled with various accessories, and a set of 5-130lb powerblock dumbbells, have given me workouts that rival those I have had at top notch Gold's and World gym franchises.

Just OK, I've had this for a little over a year - it's durable and works OK. Using a weighted belt causes problems due to the weights hitting the arc of the bench. Tilting the bench a little causes one side to lift up a bit - not as solid as I would like - you can anchor it with weights on the legs to remedy this. Overall, it is a little worse than a power tower, but if you don't have the space - it works. Posted on Amazon.com

works great... but since this is mounted high up from the bench there tends to be a lot of wobbly movement when doing quick reps. i suggest weighing the front down with some 45 lb plates to fix this problem. Posted on Amazon.com

Solid well built attachment I bought this attachment for my superbench and love it. This attachment for the Super Bench is a great way to work your lats and arms. Do chin ups or pull ups without taking up more space! The bar is adjustable in height from 78 to 89 to fit most anyone and is rated for 300 lbs. Neoprene grip area and chrome frame tube. Wide grip, narrow grip or neutral grip options. This attachment like all Iron master products is solid, well built and will last forever. Posted on Amazon.com

It works Very convenient for small spaces. Sure the bench can wobble if you're off balance, but that's your problem to fix. If the bench tilts all the way over your feet are still close enough to the ground to catch it. That has not happened to me BTW. I wish it had grips for the center grip. Wear gloves or use a towel if your hands get sweaty. Posted on Amazon.com

IMO, not worth it if you're going for the dip attachment also The chin up attachment itself is fine; I'm 5'11 and weigh about 220lbs, and I have no issues with stability or wobbling. However, if you're thinking about buying this and the dip attachments with the Superbench to save money and space vs a power tower, consider the following ... This attachment is $85 and the dip attachment is $55, which equals out to $140. You could get a decent power tower for that price, and you wouldn't have to always swap out the attachments, which is especially handy for the chin up bar, because it is very long and top-heavy, and a bit of a PITA to get on and off. Speaking of long, the chin up bar is about as long as the Superbench is and is wider as well, so I'm not sure why other reviewers say that it takes no additional space, unless their chin up bars are being sucked up by a black hole when not in use :P Thus, although this plus the dip attachment may take up a little less room than a power tower would, the amount of space I saved wasn't as much as I thought it would be, due to the chin up bar being as big as it is. As for me, I just moved into a new place and purchasing a power rack which has a chin up bar built in, so I sold the Superbench chin up bar and keeping the dip attachment. Posted on Amazon.com

I've given away all of my other chin up bars. If you wanted to do kipping chins or swings of any type, you'd need more stability & more lateral clearance, but for straight-up-&-down chins & pulls, this is a great convenience: More stable & higher off the ground than all but the best doorway bars, plus it's portable, & takes up no additional space, as it's attached to a (great) bench that I needed anyway.

Great addition to the bench Great attachment... easy to install and reasonably stable. It has a nice rubbery material on the bar that provides for a comfortable grip without being too spongy. Posted on Amazon.com

Stable, excellent attachment for Superbench My concern when purchasing this attachment was its stability - would it wobble while I was doing pull ups/chin ups? I am 185 lbs and am glad to say it is stable. I live in an apartment, so I don't have room for both a bench and more expensive power tower, but I did want something a bit more robust than the removable/portable door jam bar I had been using. This attachment fits the bill perfectly. In fact, I find the whole line of Ironmaster products (I own the Quicklock Dumbbells , Super Bench , Super Bench situp attachment , Super Bench dip attachment , and this chin up attachment) to be a good solution for someone who wants a versatile, durable, yet compact home gym. My one complaint with the chin up attachment is that it is very tall/long and top heavy so you have to be careful when attaching/removing it from the super bench. I don't really consider this a design flaw of the attachment, though, it's just the nature of the item. Posted on Amazon.com

Works great I purchased the chin-up bar, along with many other attachments for my Superbench. I love not having to purchase a separate machine to do pull-ups. It is height adjustable, so even I can reach it from the floor and I am only 5'3". I don't typically do chin-ups without help from a gravitron or something similar, so I use a step stool and use my legs to help when needed. I'm sure I'll grow stronger and not need the step stool soon. Also being a short female slightly over 100 lbs,I have to be very careful when installing and removing the chin-up attachment. The attachment is very good quality metal, and is top heavy....so installing and removing is a minor workout for me. Update March 27,2009. I now install the attachment while the bench is flat, rather than raised. Installing the attachment is now a breeze.
