Kipika 48" Ceiling Mounted Pull Up Bar, Heavy Duty Multi-Grip Chin Up Bar,Mounted Pullup Bar, Adjustable Height, Pull Up Bands for Chin Ups & Body Stretching, Ideal for Home Gym and Strength Training

This item is very professional and the quality is quite good, but it is more suitable for use on a pull-up bar mounted on the ceiling because its straps, even when adjusted to the shortest position, are still too long to be used on a regular pull-up bar. Besides that: the project also has some flaws.

I'm glad I purchased this style instead of the single strap that comes down the middle. After reading several reviews, I realized that was the biggest complaint since it made usage very awkward. I can't say these bungees are so strong for someone who only weighs 140 that it would assist me enough if I had a very weak pull up strength. However, it offers more than enough assistance which is exactly what I was looking for.

I love my pull-up assistance bands with swing setup. I bought 2 of these to combine them together into one setup. I bought additional carabiners and connected both of them together to make one setup. In other words, I just use the bands, the swing, and additional carabiners I bought and I don’t use the straps that attach to the pull-up bar. I could use the straps, but I like my setup better using just the bands, carabiners, and swing.

Good quality pull up assist bands for use on a stationary pull up bar. This band has a pretty comfortable sling for your knees to fit into and the weight assist bands can be adjust for different assist types.

I like how well built this is. It's easy to hang up and adjust. Pro tip: Because of the way the carabiners are rounded and all of the elastic cords are the same length, if you follow the same sequence on both ends, then the outer cords will be tighter than the inner bands. So, alternate the outer bands to the inside on the other carabiner. Then all of the cords will be the same tautness. Overall, this helps me get my reps in. 100% recommended.

This pull-up assist is designed to cinch around a pipe chin-up bar or similar piece of equipment. I don’t have that, so I knew I would be trying to adapt this piece of equipment to work with the climbing hangboard which I do have set up. I used my own elastic and turned the Kipika adjusting straps around (see photo). It works great — more stable, more comfortable, and more easily adjusted than my single loop of 1” web. It is also easier to put away instead of blocking a doorway. It comes without instructions, and I see from other reviews that it can be confusing to configure — just one of the images in the listing is helpful in showing the intended setup (copy attached to my review). The setup and take down has one detail to call out. The hooks for fastening to a bar will hold the looped webbing very securely — so, safety. But the fit is so snug that it is a major hassle to get them unhooked — especially at arm’s length. If the plan was taking them to the gym and putting them away or taking them home after a session, that might not work so well. The quality of parts and construction seem very well done — not fall protection strong, but body weight strong. I’m not familiar with the use of a dip belt, but I guess the foot saddle could work for that. Durability of the elastics will take time to evaluate — the single bungie strands are terminated in self-loops by aluminum swaged sleeves with a plastic cover. In static loading, these things tend to fail gradually with wear or damage — inspect your equipment and don’t risk your safety on worn gear.
