Just an FYI to anyone that cares. I weigh 255 and do very strict chins. My door frame trim snapped into pieces on my second set on my third rep. I wouldn't recommend this for big dudes. Sub 220 for sure.
@Anonymous2335 you can get frameless door hiinges for it at just the cost of shipping and handling there is a little slip that comes in the box I just got it 2 days ago.
its amazing! I got mine today. sad thing is that it doesnt fit everybodies doorways. I was lucky. One of my doorways is pretty big so it fit perfectly. I did a stupid thing, adding 10 kg on my back to test it though. It fails over 100 kg since it got a little bit shaky, wont do that again =P. Lucky though because I´m not allowed to drill in the wall so this was a very good investment alongside my collection!!
@hcarvalhoalves nope, it doesnt rest on the lateral frame, the pressure is put on the front on to the wall as your weight lays on it!! I thought the same. Got mine today. Really worth the 30$ !!
@bedtimewitheliot mine flexes just a short sec down to the point where its steady. It needs your weight in order to keep it firm. Mine doesnt flex as much as this though. I weigh about 86 kg right now. It does hold 100 KG but its not recommended and I tried to put on some extra kg while doing this and the thing got shaky. 86-90 KG? this thing is for you
@FutureLaugh@KaiserTheEmperor I have this bar also, and I came upon this problem. The clip is extremely helpful when using the bar. If you are having trouble installing it with your fingers, you can grab a hammer and hammer it in. That is what I did with mine, leaving minimal marks on the wall above it. I painted over it easily, and I use my pull-up bar a lot.
@KaiserTheEmperor yeah i'll tell you what i did with mine. i looked at it, tried to shove it in between the frame through the paint... then i looked at it again carefully- and placing it between my index finger and thumb, jerked my wrist quickly forward and let it go. let it slip out of your hand fluidly and through the air at the direction of a garbage can or recycling bin.
@KaiserTheEmperor put the arrow side down into the doorframe side that you hang it on and then place the pull up bar in it, it's essentially a wedge to help even more with preventing it coming off the frame.
@DarthRane113 Realised that was not a very good explanation.
Go to the side of the door frame you are going to hang the pullupbar on, place the wedge arrow end into the door frame once have done that you will realise it makes kind of like a pocket on the frame that you can place the pullup bar into so that you have even more security to prevent it slipping off.
@xJacKuK it has to be newer, i got one yesterday and i cant use it cus my door frame is too thin, so if you have an old house your prolly out of luck :(
I bought one of these. The bar itself is not bad but be aware that if you have larger door frame molding at the top of the door, it will not fit in the doorway.
@twelveshotz no, the way it works is by putting more pressure on the side of the door than the top, hard to explain but it shouldn't snap the top of your door unless it's only 2mm thick
I weight like 80 kg and have the exact same door frame in the video ... Should I trust it ? Is my door frame gonna break cuz my parents might kick ma ass if it does
Do you know of a Door frame mount Bar that can fit a door opening framed in a 2x6 wall. With Gypsum and Trim the thickness of the wall is more near 7 1/2" ,as opposed to the 2x4 wall that is about 5 1/2" Thick.
normally I pass on this as seen on tv stuff, because 90% of it is garbage, but I must say this product is not to bad and it is probably the only way a home user is gonna be able to do pull ups, other then having monkey bars in there back yard
lol idiots. when he says "it's not gonna change your life" he means that it won't bring any miracles to your life as long as you don't use it properly. and he's right, only purchasing and putting it to your door frame won't make your back super-muscular. WORK HARD.
@KPdbg997 Just because your strong doesnt mean you have to be big. He probably does Stronglifts instead of Hypertrophy like majority of the people. Have you seen the guys in the olympics? They can deadlift 300-400 pounds and arent even that big, most are just chubby. If you workout with hypertrophy, you'll get bigger and stronger, but if you jus do lower reps, you will mostly get stronger and wont get too big.
i recently bought this and just realized my door frames inside the wall not outside. Where else can i put this pullup bar? any ideas? much appreciated.
Your exactly right when you said I would be more concerned about the door frame, I have used the exact same pull-up bar for about 3 months, I weight about 190 lbs. I have noticed that a horzontial crack has appeared above the top rail of the door when you place the pull-up bar.
So I would be careful using these devices because it in time you will probably weaken the door frame. Maybe try a free standing pull-up bar or one you can bolt to a solid wall outside.
POOR QUALITY! I received this last year as a xmas present from my kids. 6-9 pull-ups 5 days a week for 7 months and the grips shredded apart. I guess you get what you pay for. Just be ready to by one every year. I'm searching for a better quality pull-up bar now to replace this.
that thing is fucking brilliant. just crack out 10 pull ups every time you walk past it. who needs a gym. also you can lift your legs up whilst hanging to train ur abs
i bought one of these but my house is like 100 years old so the frame is wierd and now i cant use it, its a huge disappointment. is there any way to fix this?
i have seen a whole setup for pull ups that was only like 100$ u gotta weigh it down and its not small as hell but damn this thing is just seems like to much of a bs piece of crap
a door frame was not made for pull ups even with leverage lol
I bought one because a friend has one and was really excited to start using it but I have "abnormal" or non standard doorframes... they're like 6 or more inches wide and quite thick :( stupid ornamental bs. any suggestions for doorway pullup bars that may fit non standard doorframes? or anything else?
I have done pull ups since I was a teenager. Always liked it. Recently and for no apparent reason I began feeling PAIN in the lower part of my spine Every time I do a single pull up.
In a very precise point. Somewhere about 3/4 down. Is always the same spot.
I know I am doing something wrong. Otherwise I would feel no pain.
Do you happen to have any idea of what could possibly be the cause of that ?
Please any suggestion to what could possibly be the cause would be GREAT.
@GanzLONDON Hi there. I have the same issue sometimes. I have scitica. So that means the sciatic nerve kind of moves and causes pretty intense pain (it starts as a dull pain). Try doing some stretches for the sciatic nerve. I mean like 5 or 10 minutes a couple of times a week should do it so you relax the entire area. That is what I have been doing and I can continue with my workouts. You may have something totally different but it works for me.
@GanzLONDON Hey, no worries. The only other thing is that I followed the advice of some doctors and chiropractors and some people on youtube that say to do it like 3 times a day, several times a week etc-that made me SUPER sore. Now I do it like 2-3 times a week for like 10 minutes each time and it works great.
Good review. I want to get one, but I'm concerned that it will rip off the molding in the door frame. Does it put any force at all ont the molding? I noticed yours didn't rip off, so I'm guessing that it doesn't. Or maybe you just have really strong molding. :)
@levraijoueur I know! I felt that way, too. I'm about to purchase it. Everything I've read about pull-ups is is that it's the best strength training exercise around. That's because no other single exercise can work so many muscles at once. So I'm not sure what Jeff means in this video. He didn't seem all that enthustiastic about it, that's for sure. However, there's hope. Just do a search on Dr. Oz. He's very big on pull-ups and recommends them a lot. He's got a perfectly toned body.
@levraijoueur this is quite good i got one and it really is making a difference, i do protein shake a day and this, great muscle repair and results SLOWLY beginning to show, and cheaper than the gym hahaa
I've just recently graduated high-school and am setting off to college this fall. Right now, I'm a little lazy and get no form of exercise whatsoever. Would this be a good piece of equipment to have for a beginner just starting to work out? I thought it might be a good size as my dorm room wont be that big. Would this be good for me? I thought I might start doing a few pull ups each day with this, then also (without it) a few sit ups a crunches? Would that be a good start? Any advice?
Is there a difference between this and stand alone pull up bars, as far muscles worked? Reason I ask is, I'm 6'5" and I can literally touch the ground with my knees when I'm doing dead hangs with this one. I can do more pull ups on a stand alone bar that's say 8 feet tall. Where as I struggle with a door frame bar that is only 6 and half feet tall. Just wondering if I should waste my time using the door mounted bar or just go build a regular one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just an observation, but this thing looks like it's pulling quite heavily on the upper doorframe, which can't be good. The bar I have uses a cantilever action to exert most of the force onto the frame. It's called powerbar and it's manufactured in the uk. Not trying to make out it's great, but maybe you could review it. Just a thought, but thanks for the vid btw, very informative:)
Is there something like that (man different grips) but with screws???

Try doing some stretches for the sciatic nerve. I mean like 5 or 10 minutes a couple of times a week should do it so you relax the entire area. That is what I have been doing and I can continue with my workouts. You may have something totally different but it works for me.

@GanzLONDON Hey, no worries. The only other thing is that I followed the advice of some doctors and chiropractors and some people on youtube that say to do it like 3 times a day, several times a week etc-that made me SUPER sore. Now I do it like 2-3 times a week for like 10 minutes each time and it works great.
Cheers,
Papa
P.S. I also follow Scooby´s workouts!

Good review. I want to get one, but I'm concerned that it will rip off the molding in the door frame. Does it put any force at all ont the molding? I noticed yours didn't rip off, so I'm guessing that it doesn't. Or maybe you just have really strong molding. :)

@Cenobite30 Surprisignly no, I got one for my birthday, It equals out the force on it, so it just pushes against it, instead of pulling down

Great video! Except although the bar may not change your life, I think doing pull ups can change your life! :)

@levraijoueur I know! I felt that way, too. I'm about to purchase it. Everything I've read about pull-ups is is that it's the best strength training exercise around. That's because no other single exercise can work so many muscles at once. So I'm not sure what Jeff means in this video. He didn't seem all that enthustiastic about it, that's for sure. However, there's hope. Just do a search on Dr. Oz. He's very big on pull-ups and recommends them a lot. He's got a perfectly toned body.

I've just recently graduated high-school and am setting off to college this fall. Right now, I'm a little lazy and get no form of exercise whatsoever. Would this be a good piece of equipment to have for a beginner just starting to work out? I thought it might be a good size as my dorm room wont be that big. Would this be good for me? I thought I might start doing a few pull ups each day with this, then also (without it) a few sit ups a crunches? Would that be a good start? Any advice?

Is there a difference between this and stand alone pull up bars, as far muscles worked? Reason I ask is, I'm 6'5" and I can literally touch the ground with my knees when I'm doing dead hangs with this one. I can do more pull ups on a stand alone bar that's say 8 feet tall. Where as I struggle with a door frame bar that is only 6 and half feet tall. Just wondering if I should waste my time using the door mounted bar or just go build a regular one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dang it man.. you ruined my dream.

Just an observation, but this thing looks like it's pulling quite heavily on the upper doorframe, which can't be good. The bar I have uses a cantilever action to exert most of the force onto the frame. It's called powerbar and it's manufactured in the uk. Not trying to make out it's great, but maybe you could review it. Just a thought, but thanks for the vid btw, very informative:)
