It really works! But first..
The media could not be loaded. So recently I’ve lost about 25+lbs and have been looking for a way to boost my strength. I decided on a pull up bar. I first found the common one that every online viral video has shown where someone falls down and specifically wanted to avoid that even if it costs more. I then found this. It has some bold claims of holding 3 people and upwards of 880lbs which I cannot and will not even try to disprove. I think that fits best with a more structured door frame, maybe concrete etc. At first I was hesitant and bought it anyways due to no hassle returns and installed it upon arrival. I placed it on the opposite side of where the door closes into the frame because it’s slightly wider. See attached video. I heard cracking before I could fully tighten it and noticed the molding starting to split at the joints. I knew at this point it wouldn’t hold even my weight. Some thought about what to do and I switched it to the hinges side, again, see video and all is good. It hasn’t budged and I use it everyday. It’s like when you’re a kid and see a bar you at random time of the day just want to do a few pull ups and that’s how I started. As of day one I could barely do one pull up and after 5-6 days I can do 4. Slow progress but it’s holding up and doing the job. I’m a beginner (see video) and am just trying to get more healthy than before after losing weight. I’m very happy I made this purchase and even my wife can see how giddy I was to use it because she knew I am putting in the work. It was easy to assemble and install that anyone can do it. Just be sure your door frame can handle the outward forces needed to lock it in and safely hold you. Overall a great price as well for something that I’m truly using and getting quite a bit of value out of. I’m a 5’7” Male with a 33/34 waist. Not sure my weight but I have lost a lot recently and I don’t weigh myself. Definitely under 200lb that’s for sure. Oh and once locked in place you can be sure it’s safely secure. It isn’t going anywhere so don’t worry about fall safety. Read more
