i like how that site is about pullups but the logo pic in the banner is a chin!


i quite like the look of recon ron pullup routine, apparently its the one the marines use!
 
Just got my powerbar delivered. Nice piece of equipment.

The rubber bits on the two supports are a bit chunckier than they look in the pictures online. Seems sturdy enough with me on (16,4). Shame I can't even do 1 pullup lol :/
 
I'd really like a pullup bar but my parents reckon it'll break the door frame.

My bedroom door has a glass panel encased in a wooden frame above the door frame up to the ceiling.

Would the powerbar smash this, or break the wooden door frame at all? Where would the powebar exert my 14st 10lbs pressure? I don't want to damage the door and end up paying for it.
 
Don't know. My doorframes are very old and not the strongest. About 1/2inch wide at the top if even. Works fine though.

Post a pic. I just read that again though and the two supports push against the wall above the frame so if it's glass I really wouldn't! (the glass could smash and go over your face/head) Do you have any frames without the glass above?
