Reddit reviews JFIT j/fit Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar, 40 inches, Model Number: 20-0265-B

> Can't do it outside or at a gym. I know, super lame. The "Just suck it up and go to the gym" advice was never enough to motivate me and unfortunately caused me to miss out on years of personal fitness.

"Unfortunately", really? This is a decision. You can choose to suck it up and go to the gym, and you chose not to. You talk as if some higher power intervened and made this decision for you. That's horseshit. You decided to let your fear and insecurity rule you instead of stepping out of your comfort zone and just getting shit done.

As to answering your question: this pullup bar might work.

I've got particularly non-standard door frames (circa 1900 victorian, huge molding, so deep and wide doorways) and my old hang over bar wouldn't fit. I bought this telescoping bar last month and I haven't had any problems with it. I'm about 165# and I'm using it without the safety caps screwed in. I just make sure it's really tightened down. I think it's worth checking to make sure that I'm not pulling (rotationally) in the direction it unscrews, but I've also done it the other direction without issue.

You can hang rings from pullup bar for rows, dips, pullups, holds. And you can dip on tables, chairs, boxes until you get to your ring dips. So you dont really need anything except pullup bar and rings to complete recommended routine.

Why not get one of these for the first picture doorway? https://www.amazon.com/fit-Doorway-Pull-Up-Comfort-Grips/dp/B00D9Q7ZVY/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1502594739&sr=8-8&keywords=Pull+up+bar+doorway
Just screw in the plates and remove the bar whenever your not using it.

Get one of these bars instead. http://www.amazon.com/fit-Deluxe-Doorway-Pull-Up-Bar/dp/B00D9Q7ZVY/ref=sr_1_7?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1421616183&sr=1-7&pebp=1421616196137&peasin=B00D9Q7ZVY You can mount it lower and do them with your legs tucked or in an "L" position.

Yeah, they pretty much just stay there... the one I put up at my dad's place when I was younger is still there 10 years later. It's easy to take out of course, but it doesn't really get in the way or hurt anything, so whatever. If you're super tall I guess you might have to duck a little more. The main downside in my mind, hanging rings on it takes a little longer since you actually have to loop the rings up every time, you can't just leave the rings set and hang them off the neutral grip like you can with the iron gym.

As far as putting it up... I was an incompetent fucking 16 year old, if I was able to figure it out, anyone can, haha. You just need to put in a few screws, then twist the thing into place. It's pretty easy. I think this is what I had.

You could go with one of these instead.

I lived in a house where the doorframes extend all the way to the roof so I had to build a custom mount for a hangboard. What I did was buy a simple door frame pull up bar like this and mounted the hangboard to a piece of plywood and then fixed some large hangers on the back of the hangboard so that it could be hung over the pull up bar (make sure you get some very sturdy hooks for this, I used these ones. It's worked very well for almost 3 years now. Highly recommend this approach!

I have one of these pullup bars I used in my last apartment where I had similar doorway problems: https://www.amazon.com/JFIT-fit-Deluxe-Doorway-Pull-Up/dp/B00D9Q7ZVY/ and it worked fine for me to do pullups at 180lbs without installing the safety screws after I cranked it down real well. I wouldn't want to do anything explosive on one but it was better than nothing.

Pushups, skipping rope, and you start teaching yourself how to use one of these fuckers asap

This is the bar I got:

You need to know how to drill holes in stuff? Find the stud and screw into it. A stud is a piece of wood in most walls every 14-16 inches. This is assuming you're in a american drywall.

Actually wait, door frames should be out of wood so it should be ok. (you want the screws in wood, not in weak drywall)

So it's not really adjustable like the pictures imply. The bar has to go into the 2 metal cups, and the cups are screwed in tight. Pick one height and stick with it.

You don't have anything resembling a door frame? What I use is a telescopic pull up bar, something like this
and regular wooden rings, these are actually the ones I got.

You'll definitely need a door frame to hold the bar

What I use and it's great so far. Only issue is no wide grip pull ups.
