Pull up bar

Mansize_tissue · 2 Feb 2009 at 23:30

I have a set of dumbbells and a barbell with around 70kg of weights, but I'm looking at getting a pull up bar I can easily clip/hook onto a door frame so I can do pull ups.

I'm currently living in university halls, so I need something that won't damage the door frame. It must also be noted that on one side of the frame there's no wall, just the frame which is about 4.5cm wide.

Oh and last time I checked I weigh in at around 70kg.

Does anything fit the bill?

Cheers.

you can get them from Argos.

do pullups with palms facing away. It's harder

Don't buy from argos. It'll break in 2 seconds.

I've been using a DOOR GYM for around a year now and its awesome! Great build quality!

I can't see how these don't damage the door to be honest!

I've got glass in between the frame and the ceiling, would this smash?? Does the bar rock much?
