Work out your back and biceps in the comfort of your living room with this Body Solid pro-style chinning bar. Designed to mount quickly and easily in most doorway frames, the bar is made of heavy-gauge, reinforced steel, with a frame that adjusts from 29 to 38 inches wide. More significantly, the bar extends a full 10 inches out and away from the doorway frame, giving you plenty of head clearance when performing full-range pull-ups. Other features include a convenient lift-out design for easy storage, a 300-pound weight capacity, and all mounting hardware. The chinning bar carries a lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Body Solid Chinning Bar works OK
This was a decent pull up bar for a reasonable price. I was looking for something that would not require me to put anything permanent in the doorway. Unfortunately, I missed the fact that this product actually did require brackets to be screwed into the doorframe, which prevents closing the door completely. This would not be a problem in an infrequently used doorway where the door never needed to be closed. This may have been my fault for not reading the information about the bar included on the website. Assembly of the metal frame pieces was straightforward and installation was fairly simple (screwing an included bracket into each doorframe). The bar seems quite sturdy for me(175 lbs), but the diameter of the bar was a bit too small for my hands. A firm rubber slip-on grip to enlarge the bar and make the smooth surface easier to hold onto, would be a great addition.
Customer Review: Hassle
Did not come with instructions, so i had to stare at the photo to figure out how to assemble the product. Also does not come with screws and nuts, so an extra trip to the hardware store is necessary. Why buy online when a trip has to be made to use the product.
