Wroks as Advertised January 3, 2009
It's simple. Mount as instructed and you're all set. It's not like its rocket science to mount a chin/pull up bar. Five screws in each side of the door jam and ta-da. My only recommendation is don't be lazy mounting the thing. Measure and make your life easier. No one wants to try to install a bar into brackets that weren't mounted on a straight line. Measure twice, drill once as the case may be.

new bars suck. read the dates of the reviews December 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

i did my research and read the reviews about this bar. i guess i should've looked at the dates of the reviews as well. the newer reviews complain about the new brackets that screw into the doorway. these are square brackets with tabs on the side and DO NOT fit in standard doorways. there are little tabs that are off to the side of the brackets that secure the bar and keeps it from spinning. these are great and all, but they suck if you want to close the door. do not buy this product if you want to close the door after you install it, heck, don't buy the product at all. try something else. the picture that is in the description is old and is not what you will receive.

Works well but... December 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The product works fine but there are some errors in the product description as well as the instructions that come with it. The description says that it is for doorways 24" to 32" and that there are different brackets for chin ups and sit ups. The product actually fits doorways 28" to 36". All four brackets are exactly the same.

The instructions tell you to place the bottom of the brackets 3" from the top of the doorway. This is too close. You can't get the bar in and out. You need another inch or so.

You HAVE to do Pull-Ups if you want to be strong, sexy, and stable November 25, 2008
Pull-Ups are a MUST to a strong, sexy, and stable body. They are the best exercises for your upper body strength, especially your back, lats, and biceps.

There are so many variations of pull-ups you can do, from chin ups to pull-ups, from narrow grip to wide grip, and from middle to side.

If you live near a park, just use those natural hanging surfaces to do your pull-ups. If you don't have access to anything sturdy that you can hang onto, then invest in a pull-up bar.

Go to a fitness store and test out the different brands of pull-ups. See which one works for you, and buy that one.

If you don't feel the burn after 10 repetitions, you are doing the exercise wrong. In all exercises, it is the eccentric portion of the exercise that builds muscle. Do the exercise in a smooth, controlled fashion with a 3 concentric and 6 eccentric count. Squeeze at the peak of the motion to get that extra pump.

As in all exercises, make sure to keep your wrists straight and check your posture with these seven vital points: feet hips-width apart and pointed straight ahead; knees slightly bent; pelvis at perfect middle, as if you are sitting at a bar stool; stomach tight, but not flexed; chest straight and aligned on top of ribs; shoulders parallel to ribs; and neck straight on top of body.
