    pullup bar recommendations

    I need a pullup bar. I don't want one that I have to screw anything in to the doorframe, wall, etc, and I don't want to pay too much money. Any suggestions?

    I built my own pullup / bar dip and installed it in my old living room. Now my weight room.

    Did you weld that yourself? That's a cool design.

    Do pullups on the trim around your doorframe.

    I have a pullup bar that fits thru a doorframe and use the upper doorframe and sides for pressure points (it sort of wedges against the frame when you hang from it). It worked OK. Similar to this one

    I use the one on my cage now though

    I bought one on Ebay for 15 bucks. It has non slip rubber end pieces, so I didnt have to drill any holes. So far works great.
