Great Value and Sturdy
My office/sim racing room is small and I prefer to take breaks and knock out some pull ups and muscle ups to grease the groove. My ceiling is 10 ft and door is 8 ft tall. I weigh 170 lbs and this easily handles my weight even with a weight vest on. I needed a pull bar that could double for hanging my gymnast rings. I appreciated purife brand offered a white pull up bar to blend in more to the wall and it also perfect fit around the trim of the door, so I can do chest to bar pull ups, chin ups without hitting my head on the ceiling. The one improvement I would like to see is to have the bar extend from the wall another 6 inches at least so I could also do strict bar muscle ups without having to lower the mounting position so low, I can no longer dead hang. I know there are other brands that offer a solution to this problem, but not in white. Overall, this is a great product for the cost. It does not feel flimsy at all. As for the texture of the bar, it is not 100% smooth but has some texture (not knurled at all). I would say it could be improved with further texture for grip (Rogue’s pull up bar has one of the best balance of not too smooth but not heavy knurling). I may add some grip tape which I tend to do anyway. Read more
