What thickness should the rope be? I will look for climbing rope but is nylon ok too?
This is a quote from the megathread
I'd advise
against nylon rope, string, fishing wire, etc.
Neckties on the other hand, are perfect Smile .

The thickness depends on your weight.

I found Paracord to be ideal during my previous attempts. The stuff is cheap and found at most hiking or outdoor outlets. It's designed to be very strong, it can hold roughly 550lbs or 250kg. I'd use some padding to make it a bit more comfortable though.

Can a pull up bar which has the capacity of 350 kg sufficient to hold my 80 kg of weight when full suspension.I have seen the bodies thrashing while full supsension. Will this make the pull up bar fall down. Do I need to buy the pull up bar which can hold more weight

The bar itself may hold that weight. That just means under normal circumstances of use that the bar won't snap or bend. I'd probably wager that the thrashing period has a real chance of wiggling the bar enough for it to fall though. Unless the bar is anchored to the wall or something.

It has around 10 bolts to fix to the wall. How much force does one make while thrashing. will that be more than 300 kgs for 80 kg weight person.
