3b Scientific Stark Stall Bar Review

Hello Everyone,

Some time ago I purchased these stall bars : http://www.amazon.com/3B-Scientific-W15400-Stark-Stall/dp/B00H2IAF6W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1430084441&sr=8-2&keywords=stall+bars

I thought I would give a quick review.

Overall they seem very sturdy, being made of mostly metal (rated for about 300-350 lbs). They install into the wall (I have mine screw directly into a stud) and into the ground. I put one concrete screw in each leg, which seemed plenty sturdy (see pics below).

The top rung seperates from the rest of the bars by a little over 3 inches.

Thus far the only concern I have is the wooden rungs in the middle section. They are held in place laterally from spring tension. So they can spin, which I do not know if they will present a problem. They can be removed for some reason, and are also slightly offset from the rest of the rungs by an inch or so.

So that part is a little odd, and the reason for that design I have no idea. If anyone sees a benefit to that, let me know. Other than that little oddity, for the price it seems like a solid purchase. I will give an update if they fail some how.

Thanks for the review it seems like no one reviews stall bars. I think I might order these stallbars. Are the rungs round or oval. Also how tall are they?

The rungs are round. It is tough to find oval shaped ones. Especially for a fair price. The height of these stall bars are around 88 inches.

Do oval rungs make a difference? The shape I mean, circles vs elliptical. Other than to avoid spinning and possibly softer against your back in HLL

My stall bars have oval rungs. It makes the diameter bigger which makes it a little harder to grip. I just consider it bonus forearm work .

Did you buy your stall bars or make them? 

I bought stall bars from Artimex. They have been great so far.
