At the risk of causing a helpful discussion... Any recommendations for a good doorway pullup bar that doesn't fuck things up?

I'd like to do a pullup every couple weeks or so but can't get to the gym. It'd be nice to have one in the house but not at the expense of cocking up a wall or doorframe or anything.

Kthx

 

Hate to just drop a link, but this one is pretty tight of an article with very good points:
The Best Pull-up Bars | The Sweethome

 

The leverage ones are great. I've used a bunch of different ones, none of them have damaged a door frame.

 

Yup I agree with Vlad. I picked one up from walmart a couple years ago for fairly cheap. Never damaged anything and can still support my 235 pound ass

 

Good article PB, but who really needs "the best". Just need a fuckin bar to pull your fat ass up lol. $20 bucks, done. Been using it since 2010. Will probably have to replace the foam pretty soon though.

 

Great! I'll look into it.

When I get a bar setup you guys'll be the first invited to come duck underneath and tonguepunch my fartbox as I heft my ample body up and down in a vertical manner.

 

I'll bring the jelly

 

Ill bring the robots.

 

 

ROBOTS!

 

The $20 option you suggested will be good for most, has the usual grips.

The great thing about some of the suggestions in the article (the perfect fitness multi-gym for instance) is the possibility for the wider overhand grip which really stimulates the lats and much less the triceps.

 

PB stop posting pictures of yourself.

 

I have to finish my Christmas light display.

 

Pot pics when you're done!!

 

Dude I wish, that door frame is sweet. Mines have no designs on them.

 

Dude, just get some wood and do it yourself!

 

That photo was taken when PB was visiting at the Prime minister's house. It's a Canadian thing.

 

Feats of strength and then Netflix & chill...

I'm starting to dig Canada.

 

May have to make the move to Canada.

 

Canada is kind of crowded. Let me see if there is room for two more... Oh, wait, yup, we have about infinity square kilometers still available. Come on in!

Make sure to get your toque, maple syrup and soory card when you arrive.

It's December and it's raining here. Wtfbbq.

 

Sweet! D'ya guys still have maple syrup?

'Cus I'm packing my bags. Just need to swing by Miami to pick up my dog from DeerMeat and then I'll be up to pick up my alloted rations of Molson, maple syrup, and ham what you call bacon.

 

It's all about poutine

 

Ah yeah that's actually quite a good point.

 

I actually just have a $20 one I screwed into the door frame, it followed from my townhouse to the rental, to this house...sweet thing is I can easily add the elbow straps for some core workout too. Plus, the frames at this house are all 8' high...
I had some sort of tennis elbow sprained tendon that would get aggravated with pull-ups so I've held off...but little by little I'll give it a shot.

I have a set of build your weight dumbells...I can add up to like 40 pounds but then it gets bulky and I don't trust the cheap weight clamps to not drop a 5 pounder on my meat, or toes.

Also, my job can be a workout, up/down a 14 ft ladder...lifting it over my shoulders...usually I military press it a bit too...

The kicker is I'm an all or nothing person...so because I'm doing vodka and pizza, I don't give a fuck about trying to get fit. Dangerous game...but I was probably 225 when I went in for knee surgery 3 months ago...I was at 240 this morning. Fuck.

 

Bruh, you gotta get back inta Fitness!

 

J, just start curling baby Z. Sure, it's easy enough now...

 

Well, I already feel better...nothing is more depressing than looking down and thinking...man, I can almost jerk off to my own chest, shit lookin so soft and plush...

 

FTS-o'clock.

Second day of gawdam IT problems. Wish I could find the egghead responsible for my shitty system so I could do some Netflix and chill with his eye socket.

 

Pussssaaaaayyyyyyy.


Do some fucking pushups man! At least then you can justify the vodka and pizza. And spread out your portions brah. If not for you, then do it for B. And if not for B, do it for your baby girl. She deserves a dad that's fit enough to fucking run around and play with her in the park and shit.

 

Oh yeah?



Pics?

 

Well, heading home. Have a nice evening, folks.

 

Be safe and warm, Henry!

 

I do pushups...my knee is still a bit tender when I try and do them but I've been powering through...
and just to clarify, when I say I'm fat...I'm still 6'1" and in my 36" jeans...there's just a little muffin top going on!

 

Probably Ladiboi since he has not been around.

 

My little teddy bear.


For real doe, all I'm saying is be excellent. Don't fux with that dad bod bullshit.

 

Probably. Little bish better keep hiding because I'm about to make this big problem huge. All up in his windpipe.

 

Dad boddddddd

 

I want to tell her to stop covering up at work and be proud of what she has.

 

 

Kev finna get canned...

Hey gurl...I seent ur tindr...you really shouldn't be covering up those glorious tits in the workplace it could really hurt your chances at promotion!
