The Most Versatile Rack Mounted Pull Up Bar - Titan Fitness Adjustable Handle Pull Up Bar Review

Introduction

The Titan Fitness rack mounted adjustable pull up bar is a simple but effective tool to add a ton of versatility to your rack for an extremely reasonable price. This pull up bar is unique because it allows you to adjust the handles to whatever side to side width or spacing you want, AND also allows you to adjust the angles of the handles themselves. Those two features, coupled with the ability to use this on pretty much any 42 inch interior width rack makes this arguably one of the best bang for buck rack attachments you can get and oh did I mention you usually can purchase it for only around $100? Let’s check it out.

Hey guys this is Michael with the Jungle Gym Reviews, today we are reviewing a piece I have had in my shopping cart at least 5 times over the last couple years, the Titan Fitness Adjustable Handle, Rack Mounted pull up bar. If you have seen one of my recent videos on what I consider my ultimate, compact 3x3 rack that I own, then you will know myself, like many home gym owners are constantly looking for ways to improve upon and add more versatility to our existing spaces and equipment.

This pull up bar from Titan Fitness just does that. I feel like this is a really slept on option for a pull up bar and one product I had never heard about in any reviews or resources really online, so I will go into exactly how it works, the rack compatibility, and more, so that you can decide if this is something you would want in your home gym.

Why Did I Want This Pull Up Bar

In that rack and my prior racks over the years I have always enjoyed having the standard 1.25inch diameter pull up bar and for multi grip pullups I have always used one of my functional trainers or used different Kensui grip handles like either their neutral or angled version. The Kensui grips work ok but I find a fixed grip feels much better and gives me personally a better mind muscle connection for that movement. Like I mentioned before I have toyed with the idea of getting a different pull up bar, but a traditional fixed multi grip one won’t fit on my rack due other attachments, coupled with the fact I have had bigger priority needed for the gym. I have seen this Titan one on their website over the last year or two and kept debating if I should get it. Well fast forward to a couple months ago I was traveling and at a gym that had the cable crossover multi grip integrated pull up bar, I got some great sets of angled reverse grip chin ups in, and knew it was a sign I had to try this Titan pull up bar.

Width Adjustments

So again the main feature or features on this bar is that you can quickly change the angles of the handles but also adjust them to pretty much any side to side spacing you want. How it works is that the handles are mounted plastic lined bracket that is able to freely slide left to right on the square tubing. So if you measure from the base of the handles where it connects to the square tubing, you can change the distance from 4 inches apart at the narrowest, to 27 inches apart at the widest. Just remember this distance is not necessarily how close or far your hands will be since that is dependent on what inner, outer, or neutral grip angle you have it set to. In reality the narrowest grip option is basically your knuckles touching and the widest grip option really is the entire 42 inch width of your rack so there is literally near endless possibilities for any angle and distance in between.

Angle Adjustments

Speaking to the angle adjustment you have the option to adjust the angle in 45 degree increments. Titan’s website says there are 8 different angles, which mathematically and technically they are correct meaning you can adjust it in 45 degree angles in a circle, 360 degrees. However, from a practical standpoint you probably won’t use these in 360 degree fashion, instead you will just be using it facing one direction, like I have here which effectively means there are 4 angle or grip options: Normal straight overhand, reverse grip angled, neutral, and overhand angled grip.

Handle Diameter/Knurling

The handles themselves are very lightly and very passively knurled, so it gets you a little more grip than the typical, no-grip on most standard pull up bars, but not really anything to write home as it is meant to really just provides a little bit of texture. In a perfect world I would love to see a bit more knurling depth like my Mikolo Falcon functional trainer, or preferably even a durable rubber coated option for a more commercial like feel.

The handle diameter is 25mm so it is and feel very narrow in your hands, especially compared to most tradtional barbells or dumbbels ranging from 28-35mm range, however for most people this narrow diameter makes it easier to grip, especially for pulling movements. If you want to however you can use something Fatgrips or similar to have a wider grip handle, which I have done in the past for a handful of sets.

Weight Capacity

Real quick I did want to mention the weight capacity as listed for this pull up bar is 440LBS so it should work for most people in most situations even with added weight and not something to be concerned about.

Price

The price of this bar is one of the best parts about it this piece and I don’t think I have ever seen it NOT on sale from Titan but it is currently listed at that $119 sale price. That price by the way is cheaper than almost all the fixed multigrips rack mounted pull up bars that you can buy and this one allows more grip options and takes up less overall space on your rack.

Mounting Location

As far as where to mount it, you can mount it to uprights or the crossmembers. Depending on which orientation you choose, you may have to unscrew 4 bolts on the square tubing fram so that you can change the orientation of the handle mounts/sliders to match your horizontal or vertical rack mounted orientation, but it takes less than 5 minutes. I also wanted to mention and it takes up the same amount of hole spacing and rack real estate as a typical pull up bar.

Rack Compatibility

Speaking to the rack compatibility since it’s a Titan product by default made to be fit all Titan’s 42 inch racks: this includes the X2 2x2 5/8 rack, their T3 the 2x3 5/8 hole rack, the X3 3x3 5/8 rack, and the big boy Titan Series 3x3 1 inch hole what I have here. For cross brand compatibility, if you have a metric rack that is 42 inches wide with those same upright dimensions and hole size it should work plug and play. If you are unsure, feel free to drop a comment here or just double check your rack against Titan attachment compatibility by taking a look at the Power Rack compatibility list from Two Rep Cave in the description below. Again make sure you have a metric rack like REP or Titan which are cross compatible rather than something like Rogue which uses an imperial upright size, hole size, and hole spacing. If you try to mount this on an imperial rack, the 2nd hole slots likely won’t line up natively, so try that at your own risk.

Also you do have a wider rack than 42 inches that is metric, you can still mount this pull up bar I would just recommend adding some washers between where the pull up bar ends and your rack up are to close that gap. Anything wider than 43 inches will require longer bolt, but I think most racks max out at the 43 inch interior width or 49 in exterior width anytways. For racks narrower than 42 inches, in theory you could make this work, but I wouldn’t recommend trying as it would involve quite a few drill holes and modifications of the pull up bar square tubing itself.

Things To Note

Now this pull up bar sounds pretty cool, very practical, space saving, affordable, etc. but there are just two main things that I would consider before purchasing. The first is that it technically lowers the height of the hands or pulling/pullu location by 2 inches. Meaning even though you mount it at the top or highest slot you can on the rack, because the handles themselves hang down, where you are actually gripping is about 2 inches lower than where a typical fixed pull up bar shaft would sit.

Second, some people might be wondering how you stop it from sliding left to right while you are using it without a side to side locking mechanism, and I am here to tell you it doesn’t move what so ever for typical pullups. Now if you do crossfit, calisthenics, or want to do some more momentum based pullup thing, you will probably generate enough vertical or lateral force for the handles to maybe slide slightly while in use. But in typical use for standard pullups and chin-ups, even with bands, the friction and downward force of you pulling on the handles doesn’t allow them to move side to side all and they feel 100% solid.

Also since I just mentioned bands, you can use bands on here just fine, just tie them the to crossmember or square tube portion rather than the handles is my recommendation.

Overall

Overall, this rack mounted pull up bar is priced really well, is very effective, and it’s a pull up bar that simply just works and allows you to adjust to find a comfortable angle and width that fit your specifically as a human with your own biomechanics and training preferences, what more could you ask for in a $120 product?

Improvements

If I really wanted to nitpick, the only improvements I can think of would be even more universal rack compatibility, which to be honest the fact it works on 2x2 3x3 2x3 racks with 5/8 or 1 inch holes is already a ton of compatibility, but they could pretty easily include a couple more adjustment holes on the main square tubing to make it fit a 41 inch or 43 inch interior width rack. Although I completely understand why Titan wouldn’t want to cater to racks outside of their own, maybe another manufacturer or 3rd party with come out with a similar adjustable option and make it more cross compatible who knows.

Piggybacking on the idea for a 3rd party to make this available to fit different rack widths, the only other improvement I could think of would be to incorporate more angles, although with the mechanical design of this and the angle adjustment and locking mechanism would definitely require a redesign. So I also can’t really fault Titan here.
