This is the chin up bar featured in this blog posts. You can set up in seconds on almost any door frame.
Theres really not to much to review with this product. Its a chin up bar. It installs easily and it holds me up. Enough said. I use it 3 times a week. I weigh 95kg., and its quite durable, so it will probably last a very long time. I thoroughly recommend it.
I installed a chin up bar on my door. I say to myself..
“This year, I want to be able to do chin ups at least 10 times… single handed”
This chin up bar works good. I haven’t had any problems with it. This chin up bar fits in my door frame and I can still close my door (another bar I bought locally had square brackets and I couldn’t close my door with them installed–other reviews about chin up bars with square ends on amazon also talk about this as a problem).
This chin up bar has circular ends and doesn’t rely solely on its brackets to keep it in place, which is good because it didn’t quite fit either and I could only put in 2 of the 3 bracket screws in on each side. In addition this bar extends on BOTH SIDES to apply pressure to your door frame, which helps to keep it in place and keeps the grips centered, unlike most other bars that only adjust on one side, leaving the grips off center.
The chin up bar also doesn’t move/turn when you are using it or after you’ve used it. It stays in place good and I haven’t had to readjust anything. The only thing about this bar is that the screws that came with it are cheap/stripped, (they were also a little too long for my door frame…) but that can be fixed by a quick trip to the hardware store and about $1 for new screws.
A video of me doing pull ups. Trying to impress 3 chicks in my room *grin*

Ah bing, wats the name of the chin up bar? does every giant has it? im really desperately trying to buy myself a chin up bar…without screws or door trimmed (like the p90x requires)
@josh – try ask from fitness or well-being centers, I am sure they know where to look for. I don’t see Giant or Carrefour selling this chip up bar anymore these days.
