First off, this idea is for fun and variety, not out of necessity. I already have a regular pull up bar in my garage, fat bar on my rack, and gymnastics rings. I also already have all of the hardware below, so there's no investment other than putting the holes in my ceiling. As long as none of the hardware fails and/or I get hurt, this will be a success. Thoughts?
I use these swing hangers for my gymnastics rings with no issues, though I haven't tested with anything more than my 190 lbs body weight.

The lag screws that come with the hangers are decent but I swapped them out for with these ledger locks for my gymnastics rings and would do so again.

These climbing carabiners are light and rated for a lot of weight. I got one from Rogue with a cable attachment and tracked down a supplier.

Never really got into chain work much but the welds on these collars look really beefy and I think they'll hold fine.

Why? Never put un-needed holes in your drywall.

While I doubt a single person doing chin ups would be an issue, garage roof trusses were not designed for significant point loads pulling down on them.

It seems likely that barbell training would be more efficiently performed if it had more in common with engineering than with astrology -- Rippetoe
