 "Heavy duty, full metal, for big hands, beats Iron Gym." | 2009-11-10 |
| - Reviewed By User: A2GD1RTHS5GD5J | |
| Pros: Gym quality solid metal, excellent size, gun metal color.
I am a tall guy 6' 1', 190 lb. So far I have used Iron Gym for my P90X. Unfortunately, it starts destroying molding around the door, plus I have to bent my knees all the time. This product is a lot more solid and permanent. Price is great for the product. Cons: You need to have at least 2 inches thick wooden beam to mount this product. My apartment complex has lousy 1 inch beams that cracked after I have attached the bar and tested it. So I had to buy a 2x6 stud and attach it to the vertical door studs. I wish they mention this option in the manual. It actually allows you to attach the bar higher up. The bar is pretty thick and requires gloves or padding if you want to use it frequently. I have big hands so it is great for me. Installation manual is poorly written. They do not provide enough installation options or pictures of doorway and studs. | |

| It is Chinese but the quality is fine for a home gym. Using 4 lag bolts it bolts to your doorframe rock solid! I kip and rock a lot (180lbs) trying to get those last few reps and the bar remains steady and doesn't give at all (mostly because if it does you just ripped your doorframe apart...unlikely). It is perfect compared to my last pull up "tower" which took up too much space in my garage. | |

| I like the idea of having a chin-up bar within the door frame; however, I am tall, and the typical product of this nature doesn't give me enough vertical room. This product allowed me to be more flexible in customizing it's height. Keep in mind, not all doors have studs that run horizontal above the frame; however, all door frames have what are called King Studs, which run vertically on both sides of the door frame. You can google this to see what I am talking about. I also took the liberty of installing a thick base board between the wall and the bar to both increase the stability and allow me to raise the bar a little higher. I do recommend going to the hardware store and replacing the lag bolts that come with the bar, get galvanized lag bolts and washers. Now here is the trick that I used to maintain a solid and tight fit on the wall.. Drill a pilot hole for all your screws then screw the lag bolts through the base board and into the studs. Unscrew everything and buy some oak wood dowels, hammer them in the holes that are left from the lag bolts, then screw the bolts back in. This will ensure a very tight fit and an incredible hold. I hope this review helps with any questions that you may have about this product, as I have tried to base it on all questions that I had when I was thinking about purchasing. | |

| "Great Simple Chin Up Bar - Beware the lag screws" | 2009-07-14 |
| - Reviewed By bberson3 | |
| This is a great chin up bar... it's simple to install... looks nice and doesn't take up much room as the mounting plate is nice and small. It's very sturdy and does what I need it to do. The vendor is great as well... I ordered two by mistake (don't ask) and they took back the extra one no questions asked. The credit appeared on my account just a few days after I shipped it. Be careful of the provided lag screws. The head snapped off of one of mine before I realized two things: (a) the lag screws are soft... do yourself a favor and go buy replacements made out of galvanized steel and (b) the pilot holes in the instructions are wrong for the diameter lag provided... they are too small. | |

| Okay this bar is a beast, heck my wall's going to fall before the bar will. I use it almost daily and it's held up great. If there was a downfall you have to put 4 big screws into the wall, but on the upside it keeps it sturdy. I would purchase this again in a heartbeat. | |
