But with a hook or knob at the end and more heavy duty than that one. Put some heavy duty screws in each one to hold it to the wall and I think that would serve you better.
If you're really set on using hooks or something similar, I'd at least double up and probably find something even more heavy duty as well. In fact, use that advice for whatever solution you come up with. Be safe, then double it. I used to do pullups from a floor joist using 4 smaller hooks to hold the bar, weighing about 200 lbs. That did hold just fine, but again, that was using the hooks in line with the load.
