Hi there guys. I figured I should register in a welding forum to ask this question.
I bought a pull up bar, those you fix in a wall. The material used in the whole structure is carbon steel.
The structure has 95cm distance from the wall, and the bar that connects the structure has 1 meter.
What I noticed is that the person who fabricated this did not weld the parts "all the way through".
I got a bit skeptical (But honestly, I don´t know anything about welding and how much weight this amount of welding can hold, so...)
The type of welding used was MIG.
I inquired the vendor about my concerns, and he claims that this will hold up to 250kg, as is, that I don´t need to take it anywhere to reinforce the welding (as I wanted to do).
I weigh around 75kg, but I also wear a 20kg weighted vest for some exercises, so let´s round it up to 100kg as I will be doing movements which gonna put stress on the bar, I won´t be simply dead hanging.
I am uploading some pictures of it, so you can take a look.
Looking forward to hear from you, as it will put my mind at ease and I won´t be concerned when hanging from this thing, I just wanna trust the equipment.
