Low rack pull10/4/2023 ![]() ![]() With a 7ft basement ceiling it’s pretty tight. Many years ago I was using a rack with a 82″ (6’10”) high pull up bar, and even given the extra layer of protective flooring I was getting an inch or two from the 8ft ceiling and never hit it. Sure, the ceiling may be 8ft from the subfloor, but when you add carpet plus the layer of 3/4″ plywood and 3/4″ rubber on top that we like to put down for home gym areas, plus 12″ of headroom above the bar, you could run out of room doing full range of motion pull ups. Sometimes it works. With an 8ft ceiling, say in a bedroom or garage, the issue isn’t technically fitting a rack, but doing full range of motion pull ups can be iffy. In a basement you probably don’t have such a door to eyeball with. Quick way to eyeball ceiling height: The height of the top of the upper door frame on standard interior doors is about 7ft. It’s even worse in a basement with 7ft ceilings. Basically in any home without high ceilings you’re in danger of banging your head into the ceiling as you do pull ups. ![]() Power racks’ typical 7ft height poses a problem in typical residential apartments with 8ft ceilings.
