Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Large

Why choose the Large version of the GORNATION Pull Up Bar

Choosing the Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Large means prioritizing versatility and comfort across all your exercises. Its usable grip surface of 115 cm allows you to adopt every possible grip variation: close, normal, wide, ultra-wide. You can vary your working angles to recruit your back, biceps and forearms differently from one session to the next.

The second major asset of this wall mounted bar is its 75 cm clearance from the wall. This distance is no accident: it guarantees you total freedom of movement to perform controlled muscle ups, front lever, back lever, strict leg raises and all the explosive movements without fear of hitting the wall behind you. Low end bars often offer only 40 or 50 cm of clearance, which drastically limits the exercises you can perform.

This wall mounted pull up bar also comes in two distinct versions: Indoor with an elegant matte black coating perfect for your living room or garage, and Outdoor in galvanized steel resistant to weather for durable outdoor installation. You simply choose the version suited to your training environment.

Finally, with a dynamic load capacity of 200 kg, this bar handles weighted pull ups, explosive swings and the most intense freestyle combinations without flinching. You get equipment built to last for years without compromising on safety.

The design of our Large wall mounted bar

The construction of our wall mounted pull up bar is rooted in an uncompromising requirement: create a product capable of absorbing significant mechanical stress while remaining aesthetic and silent in use. Each bar is machined from 100% solid steel, selected for its resistance to bending and mechanical fatigue. This choice guarantees that no play will develop in the structure, even after thousands of repetitions.

The 32 mm bar diameter matches the international standard used in street workout competitions. This measurement is no coincidence: it offers the best compromise between grip comfort and forearm engagement. A thinner diameter would reduce grip stimulation, while a thicker diameter would make certain holds impossible for athletes with smaller hands.

The matte non-slip coating applied across the entire structure serves two essential functions. On the one hand, it ensures optimal adherence even when your hands sweat or when you use chalk. On the other hand, it protects the steel from corrosion and gives it a premium visual finish that integrates seamlessly into any interior.

GORNATION is a German brand founded in 2015 in Münster, and all our products are developed in collaboration with professional athletes from street workout and calisthenics. This philosophy can be felt in every detail of our wall mounted bar: from perfectly executed welds to rounded edges that prevent any accidental injury.

Weight and dimensions

To help you plan the installation and choose the ideal location, here are the precise specifications of our Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Large:

• Usable grip surface: 115 cm
• Wall clearance: 75 cm
• Bar diameter: 32 mm
• Material: 100% solid steel
• Dynamic load capacity: up to 200 kg
• Available versions: Indoor (matte black coating) or Outdoor (galvanized steel)

These dimensions were calculated to deliver a professional training experience in a format suited to home use. The 115 cm of usable grip allows you to spread your hands wide for wide grip pull ups, particularly effective for developing back width. The 75 cm clearance is enough to swing your body between the bar and the wall, opening the door to advanced exercises like muscle ups or a front lever.

Before installation, make sure you have at least 2.30 m of ceiling height at the anchor point to hang comfortably with arms extended. For athletes taller than 1.90 m, plan for a bit more height.

The difference with our Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Medium

GORNATION offers two versions of wall mounted pull up bar to suit every athlete profile and every training space. The main difference between the two models lies in their dimensions and the type of use they allow.

The Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Medium offers a total length of 97 cm with a 90 cm grip zone and 60 cm of clearance. Its compact format makes it the ideal option for small spaces, urban apartments or limited training corners. It can also be ceiling-mounted, which provides additional installation flexibility. With its 32 mm diameter identical to the Large version and its 150 kg capacity, it delivers the same performance in terms of strength.

The Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Large stands out with its 115 cm of usable grip (vs. 90 cm) and its 75 cm clearance (vs. 60 cm). Concretely, this means you can spread your hands wider for wide grips and have more space behind you for dynamic movements. This version is particularly recommended if you practice freestyle, explosive muscle-ups or gymnastic skills like the front lever.

The choice between the two models therefore depends on three criteria: the available space at home, your practice level and the exercises you want to prioritize. For purely functional use focused on pull-ups and leg raises, the Medium is more than enough. For varied training including explosive and gymnastic movements, the Large is the ideal investment.

How to mount the Large Pull Up Bar to the wall?

Installing a wall mounted pull up bar is a crucial step to guarantee your safety during training. Here are the essential steps for a successful installation.

First step: identify a load-bearing wall. This check is non-negotiable. A plasterboard partition will never support the stresses generated by pull ups, let alone by dynamic movements. Favor a wall in concrete, solid breeze block, solid brick or sand-lime brick. If in doubt, call in a professional to confirm the nature of the support.

Second step: mark the drilling points. Use a spirit level to ensure that the bar will be perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw locations on the wall with a pencil, using the bar as a template. Double-check before drilling.

Third step: drill to the right dimensions. Use a concrete drill bit matched to the diameter of the supplied wall plugs. Drill perpendicular to the wall, without tilting the drill, to the depth required for the plugs. Vacuum the dust from each hole to allow proper grip of the plugs.

Fourth step: fix the bar by inserting the plugs, then firmly tightening the screws without excess. Before your first use, test the strength by gradually hanging from the bar, without sudden movements, to verify that no play appears in the fixing.

For the Outdoor version, choose a wall exposed to minimal prolonged humidity and avoid north-facing walls in damp climates to preserve the longevity of the structure.

The perfect equipment to complete your home workout

A wall mounted pull up bar is the centerpiece of any home gym dedicated to calisthenics. To fully exploit its potential, we recommend combining it with other GORNATION equipment designed to integrate into your training space.

Gymnastic rings can be hung directly from your bar to multiply the exercise possibilities: ring dips, ring rows, ring muscle-ups, support holds and gymnastic figures. This combination instantly transforms your training corner into a true professional gymnastics setup.

A dip belt will allow you to progress on pull ups once you master the bodyweight versions. By gradually adding weight, you continue to stimulate your muscle growth and strength over the long term. For bodyweight exercises like deep push ups or L-sits, parallettes will ideally complete your setup.

Don't forget workout grips to protect your palms during high-volume sessions, as well as a good liquid chalk to maintain optimal grip even when your hands sweat. Finally, resistance bands can help you progress on your first pull ups if you're starting out, or intensify your exercises once you're advanced.

The different exercises with our Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar

The range of exercises you can perform with our Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar Large is immense. Here is a selection of the most effective movements to fully exploit your equipment:

• Classic pull-ups: pronated grip to target the latissimus dorsi
• Chin-ups: supinated grip to recruit the biceps more
• Neutral or hammer grip pull-ups: to preserve shoulders and work the forearms
• Wide grip pull ups: to develop back width
• Strict or kipping muscle ups: the signature movement of street workout
• Australian pull-ups (horizontal rows) by passing under the bar
• Leg raises: for rock-solid abs
• Toes-to-bar: a cross training classic
• Front lever and back lever: the reference static figures in calisthenics
• Dead hang: to train grip and shoulder mobility
• Skin the cat: an advanced mobility movement
• Weighted pull-ups with a belt to develop pure strength

You can structure your sessions in circuits, pyramids or EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) formats. This wall mounted bar adapts equally well to a mass-building program, to physical conditioning work or to progression on gymnastic skills.

Finish and quality

The finish of our wall mounted pull up bar reflects German craftsmanship and GORNATION's high standards. Each bar is inspected individually before shipping to guarantee flawless quality. The steel is selected according to strict criteria, the welds are perfectly smoothed and every piece passes a quality control check before packaging.

The matte black coating of the Indoor version is not just an aesthetic detail: it offers superior adherence compared to chrome bars, particularly appreciable during intense workouts where perspiration can compromise your grip. For the Outdoor version, the galvanized steel guarantees maximum resistance to weather, with no rust or premature degradation.

The rounded edges and perfectly finished welds prevent any accidental injury during your dynamic movements. The screws and fixing systems are of industrial quality to ensure the longevity of the installation over years of intensive use.

This attention to detail makes our wall mounted bar a lasting investment. Designed in Germany, tested by professional athletes and backed by a 2-year warranty, it's built to support you through years of home training.

A Pull Up Bar to mount on the wall, even if you're not a homeowner

Many practitioners wrongly believe that a wall mounted pull up bar is reserved for homeowners. That's false. If you're a tenant, installing a pull up bar remains entirely feasible, provided you anticipate handing back the property.

The main argument: the holes required to fix the bar are extremely easy to fill. A few minutes are enough with a basic DIY product: filler compound. Available in any DIY store for a few euros, simply apply it into the holes left by the wall plugs using a spatula, smooth the surface, then leave it to dry for a few hours.

Once the filler is dry, lightly sand with fine sandpaper to obtain a perfectly flat surface. You can then repaint the area with a touch-up paint matching the wall, and that's it: no visible trace will remain from the installation of your wall mounted pull up bar. This operation typically takes less than an hour of actual work and costs less than €15 in materials.

This tip lets you fully enjoy the benefits of a wall mounted bar throughout the duration of your rental, without risking your deposit at the move-out inspection. You can even keep your bar to reinstall it in your next home, since it's built to last for years of use.
