Can I use this in a concrete ceiling to secure my gym climbing rope? Mounting's not a problem it's the welds supporting bodyweight.

im not an engineer, but its seriously heavy duty, the welds wont fail under a human weight i think

I've seen and used the X-Mount to hold full body weight for dips, pull ups, and hanging knee tucks on a TRX. That was from wood stud mounting.

The X-Mount is designed to hold up to 750 lbs. To install in concrete you need two 3/8"x3" concrete lag shields. These are sold separately at fitnessanywhere.com or at a hardware store.

Well all I can tell you is that as far as my experience with the welds goes, they are solid. I weigh 183lbs. and the welds hold me just fine. I don't use mine as a gym climbing rope and mine is secured in a stud in my basement, so that's about all I can tell you.

Are you asking because you want to hang it from the ceiling? If that is your goal, then yes it would work.

Janis, I don't see why not. It comes with a bunch of extra bolts for mounting. You can mount it to a ceiling joist, it comes with anchors bolts, even comes with bolts for concrete ceilings.

I would not try personally. I would be concerned about either damaging the ceiling due to too much stress on point of contact or not having good enough contact to hold pole up if someone yanked on it. I would go for a pole that bolts onto ceiling or one with adjustable curve.

Yes, we installed ours in a drywall ceiling. My husband said if you don't screw it into a joist then you should use an anchor type screw to hold it securely.

yes. can be mounted to a concrete ceiling, but i would not recommend using the screws included. they are really for wood. i would get #8 concrete screws. mcfeelys has good concrete screws that are very sturdy. Or you could use concrete screw inserts. you would need a masonry drill to drill the hole for either the concrete screws or the screw inserts. your hardware store may also be able to help you. once attached, these wall mounts will work great!

Should be able to as you are not putting more than 50 lbs on the pulley system and the two brackets are spaced enough apart that it should not be a problem ... assuming you get the anchor screw in the centre of the ceiling stud/joist. Also, you are not likely to swing the bike once up, thus likely will not torque the studs. Cross members will strenghten the set up and not really a lot more work for the peace of mind if it really bugs you ... hope that helps

HI Sorry to say this cannot be mounted to the ceiling. The bar locks into the end bracket when mounted in the door frame.Having said I installed mine on the main support beam in the basement. Used a 4x4 and lag bolts. Cut and mount 4x4 below the beam but not to low that you walk into it. I did this rather than a door frame.

I am currently hanging a 100lb in similar circumstances. The major problem I encountered was not being able to find the stud do to the surface material of the ceiling. Get your self a stud finder, on a flat surface, it should work well

Absolutely will work, ours is attached to a large screw eye in our ceiling joist. I found we were happier when the screw eye was close to a basement wall. With it close to the wall you can put your feet against the wall for some exercises.

If you're installing it into a dry wall ceiling (not beams) then I suggest you get better anchors. The ones that come with it aren't very good in my opinion.

I recently installed mine on a sloped ceiling and it works wonderfully. No problems at all. It was easy to install and is easy to use. I often hang several clothes on the rods and have never found the weight issue to be a problem. As long as the unit is installed square with itself, the slope of the ceiling does not matter.

I doubt it would work as-is. You would probably need to mount a cheap bracket on the ceiling to keep it from sliding. I'm sure it can be done quickly and very cheap.

Not sure if that would work or not. I screwed mine into sheetrock, and it works great holding 100lbs. You may want to check with the manufacturer to see if it is recommended. As long as you are not hanging something very heavy, it should work fine.

Yes if you anchor it correctly. The supplied screws will not be long enough to screw into the ceiling joist but if you purchase longer ones you should be fine. I feel with the weight of the rack and the glasses, plastic anchors will not be strong enough in drywall.

Not unless you install large weight bearing hooks. It works best on rafters or hanging from a pull up bar

For muscle ups, it's certainly strong enough, but it would have to be mounted pretty low or your ceiling would have to be pretty high. Also you'd have do them facing the bar/facing the wall because not sure if there's enough clearance (how much it sticks out from the wall). Not familiar with the Barstarzz/Barbarian workouts.
