Adjustable Doorway Pull Up Bar – Chin Up Bar for Home Gym Training

This is a very good chin-up bar that has been used daily and is still holding up to rigorous workouts like p90x. Installation: Make sure you use a pre-drill for the easiest and fastest installation (these screws are prone to stripping). Use the end caps as a guide for where the holes should be. The bar expands and contracts when you twist it, just a few twists on each side and the bar will extend out into the wall cups that you just attached. That's it! Durability: I use this chin-up bar for a few hours each week during my workout. The bar has not started to bend, and it still holds my weight and feels just as secure as the first time I installed it. The hand grips have also held up surprisingly very well. I know on my Iron Gym the grips were the first thing to rip and tear. The hand grips on this bar still have no visible tearing after months of use. The door frame it is installed in doesn't show any signs of stress. Limitations: The hand grips are not adjustable which makes doing different types of pull-ups difficult (such as wide pull ups or close-grip) . The outside part of the bar, closest to the wall, is a little thin to comfortably grip. I would recommend lifting gloves to get a better grip on the metal part of the bar if you need to. Versatile: Makes for a good place to hang your clothes when you're not working out. Comparison: I've used the Iron Gym exclusively before I moved to an older home with a lot of molding around the doors. This bar will fit any door frame that is the correct width which is great for unconventional door frames. This bar feels more secure since it is screwed in, I feel like I have more control doing a chin-up than on an iron gym. The iron gym had a tendency to cause swaying, or the bar would start to rock on the door frame with the momentum.

I had no problem installing the bar's retainer cups in a bedroom doorway. I can't imagine being able to get it tight enough without the cups to avoid slipping. It works great, feels solid, and the grip is comfortable. I don't know what to think about the reviews that said it unscrews in use and falls out of the end cups. It requires several full turns to shorten it enough to fall and should rattle around quite a bit as it gets that loose. All I use it for is chin-ups, and I have had no experience with it unscrewing in use more than a tiny bit. I do however check it for tightness every time I use it, just to be safe. Having said that, if children were using it I would probably wrap the joints with several turns of electrical tape to keep it from unscrewing. Great bar, great value. I'd buy it again.

Great pull up bar. PROS: The bar is designed well, it is relatively easy to install, it is sturdy, it fits multiple door widths, and it is only $14!\ CONS: Some people mention the "spinning" issue of the bar. It is true that this bar is composed of 3 bars, and if you do not have it positioned properly, it will spin, which will make certain pullups less comfortable. However, if you just take the bar, turn the bar 180 degrees, and put it in, the problem is essentially gone. So, I do not see this as a downside. There are machines at my gym that have bigger problems than this. Second, if you have an old or improperly installed door, yes, the corners will likely start to split. Not much, but a few millimeters. It will probably not be noticeable if you take the bar off (e.g. if you are renting and you move). So this was not a big problem for me. Next, the had grips will eventually start to tear. This is nice at first because you can move them (in the "new" state, they cannot be moved, which is a downside for me); however, they will eventually be torn off. This will take many years though. The bar will also start to bend, over the course of ~4 years with consistent use. BOTTOM LINE: Overall, this is a great pull up bar that does what it is supposed to do, lasts for many years (my previous one lasted 4 years! This is my second time purchasing it), and is relatively inexpensive. I have been doing the P90X routine with this bar from 2011 to 2015, so I can tell you that I have used this bar more than almost anyone else on Amazon. The bar has been great. I have a few minor concerns per above, and if some of them could be addressed (e.g. the hand grips, the spinning), I would give it 5 stars.

I've always had issues in the past installing chinup bars. The ones the hook onto the back of the door molding are often no good because they don't fit the door properly or the molding on the opposite side of the door is weak. They also don't feel very sturdy, at least the several that I had tried. This bar on the other hand is perfect. It can fit into any doorway with some slight twisting. Once the bar is in contact with each side of the door frame it can be twisted and tightened easily for an extremely secure hold. I weigh 206 pounds and I have never felt this bar even bend or sway in the slightest. I also use this bar for sit-ups at times as a substitute for someone holding down my feet (Army style of sit-ups). It can be adjusted to be very secure only a few inches off the ground so I can slide my feet under. It could also be tightened into the middle of a door frame to do a modified pull for those who aren't quite ready for full pullups/chinups yet. I don't recommend screwing in the mounts into your door frame, you don't need them. Just stick the rubber stoppers into the ends of the bar and twist it into place, it can be a bit tricky at first, be patient. This bar if left in the same place and twisted very tightly, will take the paint off of your walls. No big deal, only two small circles, and screwing a bar into the walls would leave damage as well. No real way around this. When I moved out of my apartment I just painted over the small circles, good as new. This is an excellent pullup bar. I highly recommend it.

The weight distribution is way better than most of these thanks to the brackets and it remains sturdily in place once extended. Great piece of equipment

Am very very happy with my purchase. Delivery was very prompt and installation was not difficult. I have been using it regularly since delivery and would recommend the product.
