Door Pull-up Device

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
Which is the best pull-up device that you wedge into a doorway?

On some of them, the padding is prone to tearing off. On others the device isn't really wide enough. And yet on others, the welds break.

Has anyone here had personal experience on one that does non of the above?

Thanks!

I use Firefox, which has tabbed browsing, and twice now I entered a post on the wrong tab. Both times in the tab that I had open to the Online Journals section.

I personally don't feel stable on those types of things. I bought an IronMan Power Tower, for $150. I thought the price was real good. I have heard good things about the Dick's Sporting Goods pullup bar though.

The IronMan Power Tower looks good, but I don't have the room for it.

The Dick's pull-up bar lacks the bent handle used for wide-grip pull-ups.

Do you really need the bent section? I have a large fence cage outside for my dog (siberian husky). The door section of it is perfect for pullups and it's just a straight bar... I don't use it often, but sometimes when I'm home during my off week I'll do some bodyweight stuff outside and use it.

Nevermind... this is bad advice. I get away with it though.
