Doorway Pull Up Bar | Chin Up Bar
The MDUSA Door Frame Pull Up Bar features 6 different grip positions and is quality built for durability and comfort. This bar has been designed to fit most residential doorways ranging from 24” to 36” wide with rubber coated stoppers to hold the bar in position. The big reason we like this pull-up bar over the standard Iron Gym bar is the included brackets that screw into the studs above your door frame that lock in the bar to provide additional support. This feature is not common and made exclusively for MDUSA to help ensure the bar will not break the door frame like many other models on the market today. It also ensures that the bar won’t fall down when you use a little “body english” during your pull-ups (I previously owned an Iron Gym and fell on my ass when I swung a little on a pull up and it detached from the doorway). It’s optional to use those, so if you just want to hang it over the door frame like a normal bar, you can do that too.
Pendlay Elite Pull-Up System
The Pendlay Elite Pull Up System is for those of you who want a dedicated chin up bar in your home gym that can handle almost any amount of weight. It is quite possibly the most versatile solution on the market. As with other systems that are available, the brackets can be mounted running parallel to ceilings studs. But the similarities stop there. The Pendlay Elite “off center” design allows for two independent sets of secure points. One set is designed for ceilings with studs that are 12” on center and one set is designed for ceilings with studs that are 16” on center. This means that the system can be mounted parallel or perpendicular to the studs in most any ceiling or wall.
The two included brackets and 48″ crossbar are made in the USA of high quality, high strength steel. The brackets and crossbar are specially coated with a unique thermal powder coating system that provides the perfect balance between slicker painted bars and rough traditional powder coating.
