Just wondering what ideas some other teams had for hooking on to the tower pull up bar. Our team has looked into carabiners, but we havent found one large enough or that is weighted. As of now, we are looking at using a steel hook or making ine from fiberglass. We would really appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
We have used Harbor Freight carabiners in 2013 to hang from a similar sized bar, we just cut them to size to make them work.

You could make that easily with a drill, some quality time with a hacksaw, and a little love with a file.
