 Good for the priceJun 19, 2008
By C. Lampley
"ShakesAllDay"
I'll agree with the other reviewers that this thing is sturdy. I weigh 220 and it holds me with ease. I'll also agree that the placing of the hand grips is bad. The bar extends in one direction, so you end up with a hand grip that is butted right up against the door frame. Yes, you can move the grips. But, 1.) it's a pain, and 2.) your grip will become uneven because the extension pole is smaller in diameter than the stationary pole.
But, for the $$$, it works fine for me. I am planning on putting up a more permanent pullup bar (joist mounted) in my basement, so I won't have to deal with the grip thing much longer.

FYI, You can move the hand grips to the position you want. Its not easy but it can be done. Its easier than my 3 sets of 10 pullups....

good valueMar 30, 2009
By Kevin G. Mccann
This bar provides a good value for anyone with a sturdy door frame in which to hang it. The complaints about the grips being difficult to move are unfounded unless you are interested in moving them around repeatedly for different exercises. As it is, they are just difficult enough to move to not slide around when you are gripping them but easy enough to move once or twice until you get them into a comfortable position. This model has an advantage over the popular total gym model in that it doesn't have to be positioned at the top of a door frame and can be fairly easily repositioned at hip or ankle height for different exercises.
This might not be true for people who need to screw it permanently into their doorway. I am about 160 lbs and did not need to do this.

Works great for me!Mar 16, 2009
By Troy
I received my order today and had it set up and tested in 15 minutes. (helps to have a screw gun). I weigh 205 and it has no problems supporting me.
I'm not sure what all the complaints about the grips are for. I was able to slide the grip over just fine by moving it back and forth. Didn't take more than a minute or so to get it where I needed it.
The only downside to this product for me...I realized how out of shape I really was when trying to do a few reps. :)
