I’d like to install a wall-mounted pull up bar in my garage, but am a little lost amongst the options on Rogue and Amazon. Different finishes and options. If you have a bar you recommend or mounting advice as it appears at least Rogues bars don’t include the hardware, I appreciate it.

Size wise, best to not stick out from the wall more than about 2’, 3’ tops.
I would like to buy heavy duty in terms of the higher weight holds to work towards pulls with kb on waist etc.

Thank you in advance!
 
I have the Rogue Jammer, but I can really only recommend it if you're installing it above a doorway.

Otherwise, it doesn't have enough clearance from the wall to a proper tuck with chin ups. Pull ups aren't as bad.
 
Here's a link - as you can see, they have a lot of options:


I have their "rafter side mount pullup bar" - costs $55, was $50 when I bought it a while back. Rock solid - I have rings hanging from it, and IronMind's Rolling Thunder handles hanging from it, and it does everything I've asked it to do.

I went with the amazon option. Here is the link: Amazon product ASIN B00HF8U37U. I have rings attached that my kids love swinging on. I really like rouge, but for a pull up bar there is no need to spend on the rouge if you don't care about what name is on it.

I purchased this back in 2015 and attached it to my garage ceiling. I don't think any screws or washers are included with this bar. If you have a big box home store near you pick up some 1 1/2" lag screws and washers. Make sure to screw it into wood studs. Here is a link: Everbilt 3/8 in. x 3 in. Hex Zinc Plated Lag Screw (25-Pack) 801560 - The Home Depot. For concrete you tapcon brand screws that look similar to the lag screws.

Do you have exposed rafters in your garage ceiling? I suspended my thick bar with heavy alloy chains wrapped around the ceiling joist at the bottom of the rafters. Did the same thing with my rings, only there I used the provided nylon straps. The thick bar is the best chinning bar I've owned after having fixed bars for 50+ years. I bought heavy galvanized pipe and pipe clamps to hold it. Luckily about 10-15 years ago, I worked for American Chain, so we could buy it cheaply. It's still not super expensive, and the setup is easy to move, or adjust to different heights, or try a different diameter bar.
 
@KyleAlberda, welcome to the StrongFirst forum.

From looking at that link, I must say that my $50 pullup bar (from the link I gave above) seems perfect fine and costs a lot less.
