Pros of the Jammer pull up bar

The pros of the Rogue Jammer pull up bar are:

Easy to install
Better than the average pull up in the market
Low price and everything included

Rogue delivers a solid pull up bar at $95 which gets your home gym started. While it won't satisfy the extreme needs of the Crossfit Community, it will make you strong and build a good back.

Cons of the Rogue jammer pull up bar

The cons of the rogue jammer pull up bar:

Little clearance to the wall
Little clearance to the ceiling
Less sturdy mount to the wall

This is a setup mainly for straight pull-ups. If you want to go all-out nuts and hang 500 lb from this while kipping like a madman, it is likely you will face plant. This is a better tool than most home equipment pull up bars out there, especially the ones that you temporarily install in the doorway. It is not an industrial-grade workout tool,as the six bolts you get will not go very deep into the wall.

Alternatives to the jammer pull up bar

Alternatives to the jammer pull up bar are:

The P-4 pull up bar would be the better option if you want to go all out with kipping. This system has enough clearance to the wall and you can go to the home depot and pick an anchor that would hold a truck.

The Rogue Crown pull up bar is a great variation for anyone who already owns a Rogue rack and wants to use multiple grips for straight pull-ups.

Conclusion for the Rogue Jammer Pull up bar

Nothing to do wrong to install above the kitchen door to make people do 5 pull-ups each time they walk through.

Overview and review of the Rogue P-3 pull up system

Overview of the Rogue P-3 pull up system

Price $135 - $260

The Rogue P-3 pull up system can be mounted to the wall or the ceiling so that you can do pull-ups or muscle-ups. It comes with two different setups to put your steel rod in. You can daisy chain multiple brackets together for a long pull up station, as long as you bring some DIY skills to the table. The full specifications of the P-3 pull-up system are:

11-Gauge Steel
Depth: 14" or 22" from wall/ceiling
Width: Can be set on 16" Stud Centers or custom width up to 48" between brackets
Total Length: You can add brackets for miles by putting brackets in a row. 1"/1.25" Pipe can be purchased from local tube supplier in 24' lengths
Orientation: This unit can be setup vertically or horizontally, our unique support arm will keep this rig sturdy!
Mounting Hardware NOT included

This is a good option when your space is limited and you can not go too far away from your wall. Otherwise, the P-4 might be a better option to enable Muscle-ups and kipping pull-ups.

Pros of the P-3 Pull up system

Two drilled holes for bar
Extra beam for stability
Compact design and low price

The P-3 pull up system is compact and less costly than other options in the Rogue Line up. Yu also get an extra hole drilled into the brackets so that you can change things around when you want to. This is unlikely when you daisy chain multiple brackets in a big facility, but can be an option for an individual user in their home gym. Compared to the P-6v and P-5v this construction has an extra metal beam. While not ideal for installation on the ceiling, it will provide extra stability for kipping pull-ups when mounted on a wall.

Cons of the P-3 pull-up system

The cons of the P-3 pull-up system are:

DIY skills required
Less clearance to the wall
Only straight grip

To install the P-3 system successfully in your home or professional gym you will need some DIY skills and make a trip to home depot. You need to able to drill a hole into a concrete wall, get the right nuts and bolts, and make the brackets level. Some people enjoy these projects while others do not even own a toolbox. If you are part of the second group, stay clear of the P-3. IN comparison to the P-4 you will also get less clearance to the wall or ceiling. If you have space, maybe upgrade to the P-4. Last but not least the straight bar does not provide the same amount of variations for grip than a Crown pull up bar or hanging crossmember would do.

Alternatives to the P-3 pull up system

Alternatives to the P-3 pull-up system from Rogue are:

The P-4 pull up system might be the better choice for anyone who wants to do kipping pull-ups and muscle-ups in their home. With the P-4 you will get a little more clearance from the wall or the ceiling to throw your weight about. The downsides compared to the P-3 are the slightly higher cost and that you only have one hole pre-drilled to put a pull-up bar through the bracket.

The Jammer pull-up bar is the safe bet for anyone who sucks at DIY. You will get a complete set to mount the pull-up bar above a door and you will not struggle as much to get it level and attach the pull-up bar. The downside is that this bar has almost no clearance to the wall and is therefore only suitable for straight pull-ups.

The Crown pull up bar might be the better choice when you already have a Rogue rack and you are not interested in circuit training, kipping, or muscle-ups. The Crown pull up bar can be attached to a Rogue rack crossmember and provides you with many different grip variations from narrow, to wide pull-up grips and even spheres to hold on to.

Conclusion for the P-3 Rogue pull-up system

If you have the DIY skills pay up the $10 and go for the P-4 instead. The only exception would be if you are setting up this bar in a really narrow space. If you have very little DIY skills and do not want to kip or do muscle-ups, the jammer pull-up bar is your friend. If you already own a Rogue rack and want to upgrade in the pull-up department then the Crown pull up attachment is probably the best value for money option you can get.
