Overview
The Fitarc MPUB-1 is a steel pull up bar built for joist mounting on ceiling beams spaced 8 to 9 feet apart, rated to hold up to 440 pounds with a standard grip design.
Unlike doorway or wall mounted bars, a joist mounted design like this one bolts directly into ceiling framing, which generally allows for a higher weight rating and less flex during use, matching the listed 440 pound max weight. At 5.3 pounds the bar itself is light despite its high load rating, since the strength comes from the mounting rather than bar mass.

Who it's for
Home gym builders with exposed ceiling joists spaced 8 to 9 feet apart and a spot to mount permanently are the right buyer. Renters or anyone without access to ceiling joists at that spacing should look at a doorway or wall mounted bar instead.
Pros and cons
- Bolts into ceiling joists for a solid, permanent mount
- High 440 pound max weight rating
- Requires joists spaced 8 to 9 feet apart
- Standard grip only, no angled handle positions
Performance notes
Because the MPUB-1 bolts into ceiling joists rather than a door frame, its 440 pound max weight rating comes from a solid structural anchor point rather than spring tension or friction fit. The standard grip spacing suits basic pull ups and chin ups without added handle positions.
