pull up bars

[mikeczyz]

on another thread that i started, i was convinced to do some sort of compound exercises such as chin ups.

sooo, i need to get a chin up bar but amazon has so freaking many i have no idea what to get.

any suggestions?

Didn't read your other thread, but are you looking to stick one in your doorway or do you have an actual exercise room?

If you have an exercise room I'd get one of those leg-up, pull-up, dip stations.

I dont think doorway ones are worthwhile because they can damage your doorframe

Mike,

stick a towel over your door. Do pull-ups. Profit.

doorway.

not worried about damage because i'm only renting...long-term damage, who cares?

not a fan of the towel idea.

total upper body workout, only 100 monies...

and supposedly chicks can have orgasms by doing a ton of leg raises on these things, interesting...

[mikeczyz]

that's a little bit more money than i was hoping to spend.

any other good home pull up bars out there?

This sounds pretty dangerous, but I think I'll try it anyway.

make sure you are on the part close to the hinge or you might have some major leverage going on which couldnt be good for the door
