Buying a pull up bar for my apt!

<p>I was wondering what you guys think about getting one of those pull up bars and placing them on the door jab. I’m talking about the portable ones. I am thinking of getting this one-- </p>

<p>I wanted to get your opinions on it. As of last quarter, I rarely went to the gym, but I’m thinking about getting it, so if I’m in need of a “break” from studying, I can just hang on the bar and burn off some stress! =D </p>

<p>My only concern is that it may not fit in the doorway…XD I wanna buy online and I want it to be a sturdy bar, does this seem alright ?</p>

<p>Iron-Gyms are great work-out tools. I have one and I adore it. It is so cute XD <3. </p>

<p>No seriously, one of the best investments I have made in my life. Worth the forty bucks.</p>

<p>out of all the tv workouts that dont really work, this one works best.</p>

<p>I’ve had a pull-up bar in a doorway before (a simple single bar.) I liked it. I wouldn’t use it in workout sessions or anything of the sort. I would simply make myself follow a rule like ‘Do one pull-up every other time you pass by’ (it was outside my door.) I’ve been kind of longing for one lately… but I think a second size of free weights will keep me satisfied for now.</p>

<p>I imagine that one would work. No personal experience though. Good luck.</p>

<p>Lol, if you scroll down to the reviews and read Benjamin Bretz’s, it’ll entertain you and his other reviews of several products. </p>

<p>I got one for Christmas and enjoy it. The only problem is the door frames near my room are weird and I have to set it up downstairs where a normal door frame is.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I’m gonna measure the door size and if all goes well I’m gonna order one! =)</p>
