Pull-ups on a barbell in squat stands

[Bushinnn]

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to do pull-ups on a barbell that's set up in squat stands. My home gym doesn't really have a good spot for a pull-up bar, so I'm considering this as an alternative.
Has anyone tried this? Any concerns about stability or safety?

as long as it has big enough hooks to prevent it rolling out it should be fine

Only way to know is to try it, we can't answer that...
We don't know your setup.

just don't be dumb about it and have the barbell roll off into your throat, but generally speaking this method is used to train people in a million xfit gyms around the world.

As long as the squat stands are reasonably stable and you keep your movements fluid/avoid jerking.

You might be able to pile some weight plates and/or sandbags around the bases of the stands to help keep them planted as well.

I do them fine on the yoke I have in my garage sometimes, but I have that thing weighted down with 400lbs - plus it already weights something like 165 empty.

Can you attach or weld a pull-up bar to the rack? Something like this...
