Re: Pull up bar
I don't have one at home, but i would get one of those ones that you bolt to the wall, rather than the ones you stick between a door frame. 
Re: Pull up bar
Missus would not allow that.
I need one that can be removed and not break the doorframe.

No. It's a fornicator.
Need one that fits handily onto a door frame, or the opening to my loft.
One strict stipulation from missus - it needs to be removeable.
Arghhhh.

Re: Pull up bar
Maybe use slightly longer screws than the ones that it comes with-Other then that should be ok.

Re: Pull up bar
These are good. They don't require any fixings or screws and it folds flat when not in use. Only thing is you need to have a very sturdy door frame.

I've got a ledge that overhangs my stairs at home that I do pullups off, gives me maybe 2 inches worth of purchase to grip on. develops evil grip strength as well as lats'Frilla wrote:Why dont you just hang off the side of your house roof like i do?

Re: Pull up bar
its just a narrow ledge so i can't curl my thumbs round to get purchase, its just my fingers holding on. it really hurts the forearms at first and at first your grip struggles to keep up with your lat strength. best grip exercise i ever did outside of deadlifts 
Re: Pull up bar
I use the one called Door Gym. It goes over the top frame of the door and uses no screws or bolts.
