ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Chin-Up/Pull-Up Bar, Heavy Duty Doorway Trainer for Home Gym

After the foam padding came off our old pullup bar system and discovering that it was cheaper to purchase a new bar as opposed to buying new padding, we purchased the ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Lite Pull Up/Chin Up Bar to replace the old bar. The ProsourceFit Multi-Grip Pull Up Bar is an excellent replacement for our old bar. Unlike our old bar which was literally just a bar that was screwed into the doorframe, this bar is a full system with multiple grips so you can perform your pull-ups while isolating different muscles. You can perform the standard overhand and underhand grips, but this bar allows for the hammer grip where your palms face each other. Because of the bar extends past the doorframe, some may also be able to perform wider stance grips. As far as installation goes, the bar can be installed without the use of any tools - simply hang over the doorframe and you're ready to go. The only "complaint" I have with this bar is that I cannot close the door of our study with it in place - but it's a very minor complaint because it's easy enough to simply lift out of the doorway when needed. Overall, this is a very well-made pull-up bar that the son and husband enjoy using daily as part of their upper body workout. It's reasonably priced, well made, and something I would purchase again.

Very sturdy, No issues ! Very good quality for the the price.

I am normally not one to leave written reviews, but there are a few things that I feel must be addressed given the amount of negative reviews.1) The build quality is just fine. The construction is sturdy; the assembly is all metal tubing, including the support that goes over the top of your doorframe. It does move a bit when applying my 170lbs of bodyweight, but that is definitely due to the foam padding compressing against my doorframe.2)The product was true to the measurements provided. MEASURE THE WIDTH OF YOUR DOOR! Every review section for one of these type of pull-up bars are inevitably filled with people who don't take the time to measure anything first, and I used to be one of those people. My door has a with of 36in. and I needed a replacement for my SPRI "premium" pullup bar, which worked fine, but was just barely wide enough to fit. This ProsourceFit bar was true to the 41 in. width that was stated and it fits perfectly in my door with plenty of clearance. If this bar is not wide enough for you, you may have an unusually wide door. I would say it can fit your door if the opening is up to 38in. wide, any more and I'd be a little nervous.3) This product includes two optional j-brackets to help secure the bar to the top of your doorframe. They are NOT meant to take the full load of your bodyweight and one look at the provided wall anchors and screws should tell you that (Don't be stupid like the guy in that one video review above, he doesn't even have the right type of doorframe for this bar). These are only intended to help keep the bar from slipping away from the door if you so choose to use them. Personally, I don't find them necessary. If you are okay with drilling these into your wall, you might as well get a full-blown wall-mounted bar for a bit more money.4) Understand that these types of pull-up bars WILL damage your doorframe and the wall above your door, unless you add some additional protection. Yes, all of them. This kind of foam grip material is not enough even though ProsourceFit has provided a generous amount of padding. With the amount of force even my 170lbs frame exerts there will inevitably be some damage. Either prepare to patch it up in the future, or use some towels as others have mentioned.5) Remember what these bars are intended for. They are designed as a cheap and affordable at-home option for bodyweight resistance training, controlled movement. They are inherently not as secure as a free-standing or wall-mounted bar. Make sure the bar is securely hooked on top of your door, keep the force of your movement down/ forward and you will be fine (this is why kipping is a no-no on these). Think before you act, and you won't end up on a gym fails compilation.6) I don't ever recommend using these types of bars as push-up handles or dip bars as advertised but it can work. I also don't really use the additional grips to often, but sometimes I do hammer-grip pull-ups. I highly recommend getting a set of gymnastics rings to help fill these roles. Rings work just fine on this bar and they come in real handy for assistance work too. They helped me work up to my first full range pull-ups 3 years ago and now they are helping me on the way to the one-arm pull-up, one-arm push-up, and pistol squat. They are also useful for the support hold and L-sit. With only a bar and rings I've seen great results.So, given all the above points, I would definitely recommend this bar (along with a pair of rings). It was worth the money. Don't be dissuaded by the negative reviews, the 4.5 star average is that way for a reason. If you're looking for a pull-up bar that fits a wider door frame this is it.
