An overhead bar used for pull-ups, chin-ups, and hanging exercises. A staple in functional fitness and HYROX accessory training.

A pull-up bar is an overhead horizontal bar used for pull-ups, chin-ups, and hanging exercises. It develops the lat, grip, and core strength that directly supports HYROX Sled Pull, Rowing, and SkiErg performance.

Equipment and setup

A pull-up bar is an overhead support used for hanging and pulling exercises. Bar diameter, surface, height, clearance, mounting and rated load affect how it can be used. The bar itself does not prescribe grip, range, repetitions or exercise difficulty.
