How to attach a chin-up bar to a concrete wall?

[prosvetz]

Hello everyone! I've bought a pull-up bar so I can do pull-ups in the home gym, the thing is, how do you best attach it to a concrete wall? So I won't fall when I'm using it, I want it to be secure and well-attached.

Is it between two concrete walls, or along a concrete wall?

Along a wall, that is up on a wall

What does the attachment look like? It is an important detail to get good advice.

Attach both to the wall and the ceiling if possible.

Drill 6 holes. Plug and screw.

I have heard that a brown plug can handle 80kg and a blue one should handle 100kg in tension, so I also think plastic plugs are sufficient, but expansion bolts never hurt when you want something to be firmly in place, although it's not as convenient when you don't want it there anymore.

Thanks for the reply Rickard, what does an expansion bolt for concrete look like??

Not to be like that, but isn't it easier for you to google it than for me to do it and link? 😉

Available in different sizes..
If you use these, it will hold😉

If you set it with these here, it will hold😉

Thank you so much!! Then it's just about drilling in the dimension that expandera should have??

A thousand thanks!! So you just have to drill in the dimension that expandera should have??

Yes 👍

Keep track of how thick the wall is so that the clip that takes all the load doesn't get too close to the back.

I would have gone with fischer duopower 8x40. It can handle 110kg and has a safety factor of 7, so if you do it right, it can handle 770kg.
