You won’t find anything else like this!

Solid aluminum alloy brackets that are precision machined . A high-end, protective finish on the bar and brackets. Inspected to be flawless. No one else offers the same level of quality and craftsmanship. It’s quality to the max! Made tough in the USA.

Get aggressive with it!

Go ahead…give it a beating. Our chinning bars are built strong. The unique bracket design has been engineered to assure this bar's strength and stability.

The only bar with brackets that can be adjusted to any spacing:

What if the studs in your wall aren’t exactly where they should be? No problem. The brackets can be positioned anywhere along the bar.

High-End Finish:

Each part is anodized to provide the perfect finish and color. Anodizing is a process which forms a protective hard oxide layer on the metal.
Factoid: The oxide layer is exactly the same chemical compound as the gemstone sapphire.

Awesome 48" Long Bar:

This 4 foot long, 1.25" diameter bar provides plenty of space for wide grip pull-ups, leg raises and other exercises. The micro-textured surface enhances your grip. Now, if you want unbeatable gripping power, we recommend our UltraTec grips below.

UltraTec Grips Add-On:

Our UltraTec grips are awesome; they enhance your grip by providing a slip-resistant surface and help reduce callouses. The grips are made from high-strength polyolefin polymer and have a heat-activated adhesive to keep them securely in place. View Close Up - Delta Bar with Grips

Getting Started with your Delta-Bar...

Here is some basic training information to help get you started with your Delta-Bar. Below we have outlined a plan take you from not being able to do one rep all the way to weighted chin-ups.

First, determine the total number of pull-ups you can do. Then choose the routine that corresponds to this number. Workout twice a week; resting at least 2 days between sessions. Retest yourself after 4 weeks. Then, if you are ready, you can advance to the next level or else repeat the same routine for another 4 weeks.

0-1 Reps

You are not strong enough to lift your body weight. You can build strength fast by doing only the lowering portion of the exercise with a heavier weight than you can lift. Follow the schedule below using this method: Place a bench under a pull-up bar and use it to boost your body so your chin is above the bar. Take the prescribed amount of time, 5-6 seconds or 8-10 seconds, to lower your body. Once your arms are straight, jump back up to the top position and repeat. Rest for 60 seconds after each set.

Week	Exercise	Sets	Reps	Time
1	chin-up	3	5-6	5-6 Seconds
2	pull-up	3	5-6	5-6 Seconds
3	chin-up	2	5-6	8-10 Seconds
4	pull-up	2	8-10	8-10 Seconds

2-4 Reps

You cannot do enough repetitions to fully develop the mind-muscle connection, limiting your ability to become stronger. Do more sets of fewer repetitions. More muscle fibers are activated during the first one or two reps. By doing several sets of one or two reps, you will help develop the communication pathways between your brain and muscle. This will increase your strength quickly. Take the number of pull-ups you can do and divide it by two (if your best effort is three, round down to one). That’s how many you will do each set. Do the number of sets indicated below and rest for the prescribed amount of time after each. After 2 weeks, the repetitions you do in each set increases.

Week	Exercise	Sets	Reps	Time
1	chin-up	8	50% of best effort	90 seconds
2	pull-up	8	50% of best effort	60 seconds
3	chin-up	8	Best effort	90 seconds
4	pull-up	8	Best effort	60 seconds

5-7 Reps

You have strength but lack muscular endurance. Work on doing more total repetitions than normal - regardless of the number of sets it takes. For instance, instead of doing three sets of six, for a total of 18 repetitions, you’ll shoot for 30 repetitions – but dropping down the number sets of three, two or one. This will rapidly improve your muscular endurance. Perform as many pull-ups as you can, then rest for 60 seconds. Repeat as many times as needed to do 30 repetitions. Each workout, try to reach your goal in fewer sets.

8-12 Reps

You’re too strong for your body weight. To boost your absolute strength, which will increase the number you can do with just your body weight, do pull-ups with added weight. You can do this by attaching a weight plate to your dipping belt and strap it around your waist. Use a weight that’s about 5 percent to 10 percent of your body weight, just enough so you’ll be doing only two or three fewer repetitions than your best effort. Do four or five sets, resting 60 seconds after each.
