Hi all
I am purchasing a wall mounted pull-up bar and would appreciate some advice on the best height to install it at.
The height of my ceiling is just over 8' tall (98 inches). I am just over 6' tall (72.5 inches) and able to reach up to around 92 inches when standing on my toes. So I need to make some kind of trade between: a) how much I will need to bend my legs when hanging from the bar (or the rings I will hang from it); and b) the amount of clearance I will need above the bar.
At what height do you recommend I install my bar?
Note: I also have access to bars at a range of heights at a nearby outdoor gym. So I can go there for specific exercises that aren't possible at whatever height I set my bar at home. Though I would like to minimise the need to make such trips.
Thanks in advance for your help!
