Buying help: pull up bar

Jakeman · 04-29-2004, 02:53 PM

I want to buy a pull up bar for my room. I want something I can do pull ups on and hang from using hook boots. I don't need a full machine, just a basic metal bar with legs and feet.

I have looked everywhere and can't find anything like this.

Code:

You could easily make one if you know anyone that can weld.

I have one of these.

If you need something cheaper, then I spent $12 on one that screws into my door frame, which I purchased from Modell's. It works well, although you can't get as wide of a grip as with the one Mudge suggested.

Door frame is way too narrow for me. At least it screws in though, the others that rely on friction are worthless to me.

Actually, it's a little too narrow for me too. Eventually I will splurge and go for the bar the you put up the link for. I'm 6 feet tall and have relatively broad shoulders. For the time being, I still get adequate lat involvement, but not to the extent that I would like. I just thought he might want to know about a cheaper alternative that is more readily available from somewhere local.

Thats only 40$.

And free shipping..

Thanks for the replies.

I am looking for something that is stand-alone... no wall/door mounting.

**Mudge** · 04-29-2004, 09:30 PM

Jake if you go to the site they have stand alones as well.
