MULTI-GRIP PULL-UP BAR

Pull-ups used to be a part of my regular workout routine. But at my last few gyms, the pull-up bars were really high up and hard to get on. Also, they were part of a pulley station and often in use. I used to be ok to use the bars in the park until I became convinced that they were covered with germs. Needless to say, over the past several years, I got way behind in my ability to do pull-ups. Installing a bar at home became the obvious solution. At my previous residence, I had the simple straight expansion bar that fit across a narrow hallway. I liked it, but I know how it kind of ruins the wall, so that's why I decided to try to door jamb style. The package arrived yesterday, I installed it right away and I can say I really like it alot! The design allows for a more ergonomic pull-up position. The foam rubber grips are comfortable and well placed. The bar offers lot of places to put your hands which is great because I like to use a variety grip position. There is a bit of "flex" in the bar when I put my weight on it which is a little disconcerting, but I think most the movement is due to compression of the foam used to protect the wood on the front of the doorway. Regarding the assembly, for me it was a little challenging because there are a lot of parts. I had to squint to view the diagram and read the instructions which could've been a little clearer, and I did it by myself. I wound up having to redo a couple sections twice before I got it right. After opening the package and laying out all the parts, it took me 84 minutes to put it together and hang it in the doorway. I was going intentionally slow because I was just following the directions without really thinking about what it should look. I'm sure I could do it more quickly a second time around. There are "J' bracket that come with the kit that prevent the rear flat bar from sliding off the top of the doorway. I don't think they're necessary. Under normal use there's no way the bar can slide off. But I'm going to install them anyway in case I or someone else tries to do something that's not a normal use in which case the bar could pop off. If you are looking for a good value in a home pull-up bar that doesn't require you drill any holes in the wall, I can recommend you try this one.

Honestly, I don’t know what people are complaining about when it comes to this pull up bar. It fits my doorway. It’s a basic ass doorway, I didn’t even have to measure it and it fine mine perfectly fine so I’m not sure how people are having so much trouble with that. In terms of assembly, it was pretty straight forward. Took me like 20 minutes to set it up. Sturdiness wise it feels pretty solid. I’m a pretty light and muscled tone guy (151 lbs) and it holds up well. All in all, don’t expect the world out of this pull bar. It’s a 30$ pull up bar that was made for broke ass people like me that like to stay in shape. For the price, it delivers on its purpose. I can do quite a few workouts on this thing and it always feel secure. And if you’re worried about it messing up your door frame, just wrap a shirt or something around the top piece that hangs on the door and you’re good. Seriously man, not sure how people screwed up with this thing as bad as they did lol

I’ve been using the ProsourceFit Pull Up Bar in my home gym for a couple of months now, and overall I’m really happy with it. It’s a great addition to my workout routine and gives me a lot of versatility for upper body training. First off, installation was pretty straightforward. With the included hardware and instructions, it didn’t take long to get the bar mounted and ready to use. The bar feels stable and secure once it’s in place, and I haven’t noticed any wobbling or shifting during use, even when I’m doing kipping pull-ups or leg raises. The grip padding is comfortable and keeps my hands from slipping, which is something I appreciated right away. It also makes it easier to work through longer pull-up sets without as much hand fatigue. I like that it’s designed for multi-use so I can do pull-ups, chin-ups, leg lifts, knee raises, even hanging core work without needing extra equipment. My only small complaints are that the installation hardware could be a bit more heavy-duty, and the instructions might be confusing if you aren’t familiar with mounting bars. I had to double-check a few steps online just to be sure I was doing it right. Also, if you have wider door frames or odd stud placements, you might need to do some extra measuring before you start drilling. Overall though, this pull-up bar delivers on what it promises. It’s sturdy, functional, and a solid value compared to more expensive options. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to add a pull-up station to their home gym without breaking the bank. Four stars!

I've used this almost daily for 3+ years without any issues and the quality holds up throughout moves, use, and on different doorframes. Would highly recommend!

Ok, let me start off by saying that I too, am one of the many that rarely leave reviews here. However, call me hypocritical, but I also tend to check the reviews of an item before buying as well. I saw this product months ago but was rather dispelled about the amount of 1 stars on here... As the Cyber Monday sales approached and saw this item as one of the flash sales, I knew I couldn't pass it up considering that I've wanted one of these bars for a long time. Anyway, I went through majority of the 1-star reviews on here and I have to say DO NOT listen to them. Majority of the complaints are due to difficulty of installing the product... I will let you know that it literally took me about 5 minutes from opening the box to putting it on my door. Albeit, I am a little bit more technically inclined than others due to an engineering background, however, these are SIMPLE instructions (Honestly I didn't even use them, if you ask quite a few of the people on here, I'm pretty sure most of us just looked at page 3 and just looked at the freaking picture that shows you what goes where lol). I'm almost positive my little sister can put this together in a matter of minutes. You need no personal tools considering the screws and allen key are included in the box. So in essence I agree with one of the other reviewers when I say if you can't follow these simple 5 step instructions on the sheet you're probably missing a few upstairs lol. The next complaint I read a lot had to deal with flimsy parts... Well for one, it holds me just fine. I mean I know I'm only 6'0 135 however, referencing back to my engineering background, I can EASILY tell it can hold another 50 lbs with no issue on MY door frame. If your door frame is very fragile, that might be the only issue however, this is not a discredit to the product considering it has nothing to do with the pull up bar but rather the door frame in your house lol. The second thing about the parts saying that they're cheap, well this is honestly I steal of a price for a great product I'm not exactly sure what laser-molded. diamond-encrusted parts you're looking for but for the price you're paying you're easily getting your moneys worth. Now one thing I read which is true is that if you have soft walls like mine, it can leave a ring (about quarter sized) on the side of the door frame from the stem that holds against the wall when it's put up (You'll see what I'm talking about when you get it). Just like the other reviewers have suggested, it's a quick fix.. put a towel or a spacer or something on the end of it on the wall and that takes care of that problem lol. I used a spacer. However once again, this has to do with the pressure of holding you and it's tension vs your wall strength. Not the products fault. If you guys have any other questions about it if you're debating it feel free to ask and I'll definitely respond because I know how it is when you're skeptical about a product and you have a bunch of 1-stars to discourage you.

Product Assembly I found that assembly was simple and took about 10 minutes just by looking at the picture in the guide booklet. I noticed that the bolts and nuts do contain some oil or grease as it is a machined part so take caution when assembling on carpet or wearing `good' clothes. The kit comes with a small wrench and allen wrench for assembly. I noticed that some of the bolts felt like the allen shaft would not fit, like there was a slight size difference, if you use the provided kit, apply a little extra force when inserting the allen into the bolt. I'm not complaining, I'm glad they provide the tools with the kit so I didn't have to go find the right sizes of my own. I also noticed that it was easy for the provided wrench to become wedged between the lock washer and the frame or bolt, wiggle it enough and it will come out - or loosen the bolt to free it. Once it was assembled, it felt nice and tight like I expected. Product Use...not so much While assembling, I looked the unit over to determine if there were any points in which may cause contact with the wall or may be uncomfortable when using, i.e. a protruding bolt or nut. As others have noted, the pad bar is secured by two bolts, the pad has been designed to touch the wall before the bolt head has a chance but I can see this being a problem. It would be advisable to place another pad on top of the existing or cover the bolt head with something so it doesn't touch your wall. Unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you see it, I haven't been able to test the unit because my door frames are too thick. I live in a 1912 historic home that has all original crown molding and wood trim. The door frames and encasings have extensive wood trim, thus making it wider or thicker than a normal door from thickness. I don't think it lacks very much from fitting, the thickness of the doorframe is ~7.8" with the wood trim. It would be nice to have a product that has bolt holes for both a larger and normal size frame. The kit also comes with `optional' brackets to mount on the wall, not that I would use these EVER on my walls but I wanted to clarify their use. They would not have helped in my situation before the frame still has to be placed in the door way. The brackets are for additional support on the backside of the door frame. If your frame had small or weak molding for example, you could mount these above the molding and the bar would slide down into the brackets for a more secure fit - if you are a heavier breed then this may also be beneficial. I plan on using this in a normal size door frame before I send it back and review the construction under ACTUAL use. ACTUAL product use I am 6'5" and 185 and product use for me was fine - I didn't have any issues being taller and using this in a door frame. If you are taller and see eye level then get on your knees to use it, common sense and better exercise. I also saw that someone complained the bars were setup in a way that you can only do wide grip or normal depending on your wing span. This is true; however, you can unbolt 4 bolts and flip the bars around for close grip. Is it not a quick solution and I am surprised the manufacturer didn't go ahead and make the handles longer for a close and wide grip setup. If by reading this you think you will alternate between the two, don't count on it, after several `changes' I can see the nut, bolt and lock washer wearing out - one of the bolts started stripping after I changed it around once, which may have been because the provided tool may be slightly smaller than a normal sized allen wrench tool. In fact, there is what I call a normal grip from the U tubing that the top handle sits on - no it doesn't have an actual foam grip but use it without or wrap it with athletic tape if you decide to use this product or you can reach through the U tubing and grab a section of the `top bar' but it also does not have a grip. The other grips you see in the picture around the U tubing might be for other exercises - the ones on the floor, which I had no interest in. When I first used this is slide a little and it gave me the false sense of `This things is not going to hold me', it's an uneasy feeling putting all of your body weight on something that you have no clue if it will support you - it does. It handled my weight fine and I did not bend any bars and I jerked to somewhat test the limits. I didn't like the fact that it slid when I first used it and it slid during a couple or reps, mostly because I was doing them quickly, when I controlled myself it didn't budge. I can see where some people may do theirs quickly in an attempt to get it done but do yourself a favor and control your speed and `jerkiness' it will help you build strength and stamina. Summary Instructions were OK Assembly and guide booklet were OK Installing/placing unit in door frame was BAD and unusable for thicker door frames and DECENT for normal with the covering of the bolt heads to ensure no wall damage (I did not have a problem with the bolts because when I placed it in the door frame it was slightly tilted and they could not touch the wood - this again was a wider than normal door frame) Product use was OK but I didn't like the fact that in my doorway it slid a little LACKS quality grips, close grip bar (unless you change handle position - see above), protection for bolt heads on wall or door frame (did not affect me as the unit was tilted in the door frame I tested). I have never owned any other bar but will be looking for one that works in a thicker door frame - I'll critique it once used so if you have a thicker door frame, look for another review from me in the future. Overall I'd say if you have read my review and it sounds like this unit does what you are looking for then buy it. I have really enjoyed reading Amazon product reviews and will continue to write my own (this is my first) but I am not one to say don't buy or buy a certain product based on my use, that's not for me to decide, I'll give you an honest usage example and you can decide. For me, <$35 and free shipping was great and I probably would have kept it if it fit in my desired door frame. MU

This is a really good piece of equipment. Assembly was easy, the instructions were pretty obvious and if necessary you can see the picture on the box and work from there. All the necessary hardware came in the box, including a hex key for installing the bolts and a precisely fitted wrench for holding the nut in place while you tighten the bolts. There are two sizes of bolt, one pair which attaches the crossbar, and a bunch of other ones which are exactly the same size and are used to assemble every other part of the bar. It's as easy as can be. Protip: If you put all the bolts on and just finger-tighten the nuts, you can be sure you have everything in its correct place before you use the hex key to make everything nice and sturdy. I didn't use the bracket with the wall anchors because I like to be able to take the bar down if necessary. This does work best on a door that has enough vertical room on the opposite side (the side away from the way you will be facing) for the padded crossbar to rest above whatever trim you have there. The part that gets rests on "your side" of the door is two plastic end-caps on the end of the curved pieces. These caps haven't marred my door trim, although like another review said, you can always place a little shim of cardboard there if it is something that concerns you. Once assembled, it is very sturdy and secure. Placed in the door per the instructions, it holds my 180lb weight with no problems. It does creak a little bit under my full weight, but at no point does it ever feel loose or insecure. All of the different grips give you plenty of options on which exercises you want to do. This piece of equipment is designed well, engineered well, and performs well. It is definitely worth the price.

Decidí comprar ésta barra para poder entrenar físicamente sin la necesidad de pagar una mensualidad en el gimnasio, llevo 3 meses con ella y la verdad es que los resultados son más que sorprendentes siempre y cuando se tenga constancia y una buena técnica. En cuanto a la calidad del producto es excelente la barra es resistente, incluye L's y tornillos para la instalación los cuales son demasiado fuertes si se instalan bien no he tenido problemas de que se suelte mientras he entrenado. Hay una pequeña falla que es que puede dañar la pared por parte de uno de los tubos que directamente hace contacto con la pared y los colchones laterales por muy anchos que sean no pueden evitar, de ahí en fuera es un muy buen producto, en verdad lo recomiendo mucho.

This pull up bar has been extremely reliable for me over the last 4 months or so. It is bigger than most door way bars, so if you have wide doorways like I do, then it will still fit just fine. Make sure to double check the maximum widths before you purchase. I did find it a bit of a hassle to put together initially, but once I watched a YouTube tutorial briefly, everything went together fairly well. I found the instructions a bit hard to decipher. The tolerances on the pieces connecting are loose, so nothing will be exactly in line and you can push everything into place easily. The tools provided were a bit cheap, but functioned for what they needed to, which is to screw in the bolts and tighten it all together. Once it is built, the bar can easily be hooked onto the doorway, and taken off in a few seconds so the door can close fully. The bar itself is very high quality, the metal is strong and heavy, and the foam grips seem like they would take a while to wear down. I never once felt insecure when using the bar, although I would not want to swing on it. It works well for pull ups, chin ups, neutral pull ups. Since the bar is so long there are a variety of hand positions you can use. So wide or close grip pull ups are possible. It works for push ups on the ground if you need it to, and again felt very sturdy under my weight. According to the manual, the max weight supported is 130kg, although at 90KG once of my friends was causing it to creak quite a bit. So if you weigh more than 100KG I would be extremely careful. The bar does leave black marks on the wall above the doorway, and also on the sides wherever it touches the frame. They seem to clean off, but if you use it for a long period of time, it may be worth putting something thin in-between the doorway and black foam/rubber parts of the bar. I wouldn't advise to use this in rental properties or weak/old door frames, and if you are, be very careful. The bar can be dismantled, so if you want to use it for travel between places, it is possible. However there are probably smaller or cheaper ones that would be better to use for this purpose. Overall the bar is very secure and safe, and provides a lot of use for workouts. For £35 it was well worth it.

•• Comparable Products I've Used •• I used to have a j/fit Deluxe Doorway Pull-Up Bar , which is one of Amazon's best sellers, and it worked great for years. It stuck really well, but it had a couple of issues. First, it doesn't have a variety of grip locations; the black handhold is where the black handhold is. It's a one size-fits all approach. Secondly, it fit TIGHTLY against the mounting frame. It has rubber caps on either side to prevent damage (in theory). In my first apartment, it left massive black circles that were extremely hard to clean off. I scrubbed those suckers forever, and luckily my landlord let it slide. Then, in the basement suite I moved to, it actually crunched into the wall. I still used it like that, knowing that one day I'd have to repair the damage. A few years later, I moved again, and I was determined to bring it with me. This time, the rubber cap fell out because the adhesive affixing it to the bar had finally worn away. I lost it in the move. Finally, I decided, it was time for something a little less... brutal. •• What I Like •• I really love the ProSource. It handles my weight effortlessly (145lbs) and has a variety of gripping points. I particularly enjoy the wide U-grips for deep, upper pec activation. The point is, there's a grip for anything. I even toss a sheet over it to grip for vertical rows. It's exceptionally diverse. The instructions are mildly unintuitive, but they're easy to figure out. Basically, I recommend looking at the instructions and just deciding on the order that makes sense. As long as you're not snapping the wrong pieces together, you'll get it done without issue. It took me about 5-10 minutes to put together. No biggy. It sits on my new door frame like a champ. •• What I Dislike •• As other reviewers have stated, the heads of the screws that sit on top of your door frame are slightly pushed out. This means they'll press into the wall when you're hanging your weight. That is a silly design flaw indeed, but it's SUPER EASY to FIX. All you have to do is place something thick enough behind the screws. I'll show you what I mean in the pictures at the bottom of the review. I literally took the box the ProSource came in, sliced it up into little squares, and placed them behind the screws. I didn't have to purchase any additional stuff to do it... no tape, no nothing, and again, it took me around 2 minutes to concoct. Don't let that stop you from buying this thing. If you have a standard door frame it'll fit on, you're going to be very happy with it. •• Conclusion •• If I had to buy it again, I would. I don't see any true cons with this thing. The build quality is great and easily rivals the J/Fit I had previously. Setting it up and installing it is easy. And if you take 2 minutes to cut up some cardboard, you won't have screw-head-holes above your beautiful door frame. If you want more protection, pad the screws with some fat tape before placing the cardboard (or whatever). You could even use socks or small towels instead of cardboard. Happy working out, broseph or brodette. 05/08/2017 Update: Been using it for a few months now. Still thrilled. The cardboard hasn't shifted one bit. 01/05/2018 Update: We're officially in the new year! Cardboard hasn't shifted. I have zero complaints. 08/12/2019 Update: No changes. No complaints. One addition! I recently hung rings over the bar. It holds perfectly solid. Been using them for a few months now. I still love and appreciate the versatility of this door-bar. Rings are "Femor gym rings" from Amazon. I've also reviewed them.

The screw holes do not align so it’s difficult to complete the assembly

The item came exactly how it was described from seller. Thanks for fast shipping! Equipment fit in my doorway perfectly.
