 Great PurchaseJun 12, 2008
This bar and all the parts that come with are all really solid. This thing is awesome...if your having any doubts about purchasing this..don't. Unless you live in a home that bars you from putting anything like this up in your home, or you weigh over 400 lbs, you have nothing to worry about. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars, is the fact that when you have the bar installed into those slots you screw in, it can be hard to get out if you want to place it somewhere else. Otherwise...great product. I highly recommend it if your trying to get into shape.
Great, Does What You Buy It ForJun 11, 2008
A pull-up bar is an essential if you want to get in much better shape. It helps a lot with upper body and your abdominals, so i do hope you purchase one!
That being said: this pull-up bar does exactly what it's said. I've included pictures if anyone has any questions about it.
The installation took about two hours. After that it was a breeze from there, however, the installation side panels, which allow you to take the bar in and out, are awfully annoying to do so. Therefore, I'd recommend you just leave them in there.
The package comes in a pullup bar and four installation handles to insert the pullup bar in. Two of them are designed for a pullup, whereas the other two are designed so you can move the pullup bar to a lower part of the door to do "pushups." Don't bother. Again, the bar is incredibly difficult to move out of.
It includes two black handles, which do look nice. However, the handles are beginning to wear off, after excessive pullups. As long as you're not swinging around, it'll be less likely to wear out as soon as possible. Another plus side is the handles are made out of velcro, so what you can do is - add paper inside the velcro and thus make the grip harder. (Improve your forearm strength!)
I believe this has attributed to more recent PRs of mine (power cleaning and benching) because of the stronger grip that is needed to do pullups.
In short, the bar is stable and does what it's asked. However 4 stars because once the bar is put in the door, it's hard to pull out and the handles not being "perfect."
If you're looking to get into better shape, get this! It's well well worth it for your health.
GoodJun 02, 2008
It is a good pull up bar, it serves it's purpose, is durable, and the grip is comfortable. However it can be quite hard to get in and out of the brackets and i believe it is not versitile enough to use for ab exersizes. It was easy to install in my doorway and overall i recomend this product

Great Workout ToolMay 09, 2008
The bar is sturdy and locks in place so that it does not spin or wobble. I installed all four anchoring slots so that the bar can be placed high (for pull-ups) and mid-level (for inverted rows/reverse push-ups). Switching it between levels can sometimes be irritating, especially if any of the anchoring screws are not completely flush.
I used only 3 screws per anchoring slot because that was all my door frame would allow. That is enough to support 180lbs (my husband) and vigorous motion without any hint of coming loose.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple pull-up bar. I could not find it at any of my local stores and feel that it's worth the price Amazon is charging. My first one arrived without the anchoring slots but Amazon sent a replacement within two days. If it were easier to remove the bar, I would consider it a 5-star product.

Great piece of equipment, but overpriced.Apr 10, 2008
I bought this bar a few weeks ago and it works great for my needs.
However, last week, I found the exact same bar, hardware, manual, etc for sale at my local Walmart, but being sold in a "Gold's Gym" branded box, instead of Altus. This bar was being sold for $13, instead of the $24.99 I paid on Amazon. It's disappointing that Amazon is charging almost twice the price for the same product.
So, great bar, but overpriced at Amazon.
