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

[prosvetz]

Keep an eye on the thickness of the wall so that the clip taking all the load doesn't come too close to the back.

I would go 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.

This? Does it work in concrete?

No, I shouldn't have trusted that screw; it might hold with a plug, but the screw needs to be stronger...

This one? Works in concrete?

That plug but a 6mm one that is longer. It should be 45-50mm plus the thickness of the mount.

I have heard that a brown plug can handle 80kg and a blue one should handle 100kg in pull, so I also believe plastic plugs are sufficient, but expansion bolts are never wrong when you want something to sit securely, although it's not as convenient when you no longer want it there.

Expansion plugs are the way to go // Just cut it off afterwards with an angle grinder and fill the hole with filler // after the nut has been unscrewed!
