About this deal

The common type of doorframe bar is the ‘telescopic bar’ which aims to fit between your doorframe without the need for screws or any DIY (in most cases that is).

Gravity Fitness Portable Pull up Rack with Carry Bag

The end caps of this product are made of a softer material to try to avoid this, but by the nature of the design of doorway pull-up bars, this is a real possibility. Fit and Finish are quite meticulous. The fitting of all the tubular steel parts is pretty much perfect, with no wiggle or wobble that we could detect. The finish of the powder coating is immaculate and we found no fault with the rubber caps either. The only addition we’d like to see is an extra set of retention springs on the front and rear section of the floor frame. These are only friction fit. They won’t come loose during exercise, but can be left behind when you move the Gravity Fitness Pull Up Bar around. Even a single, cheap spring latch would work since there is hardly any lateral strain on them anyway. Stability & Doing Workouts Wall mounted pull-up bars are the first bar type in this guide which I would consider a permanent fixing – the bar is bolted into the wall meaning it cannot (easily) be moved once assembled.That's great, but what if they don't have the room for an inversion table and don't want to fork out exponential amounts of cash for gravity boots? Gravity Fitness has become renowned for producing top-quality pull-up bars that not only last the distance but yield next-level results. The latest drop in our pull-up bar range is no different but this time we’re taking jaw-to-the-floor pull-up performance to the…... door. Within the world of calisthenics, the purpose designed bars such as Gravity Fitness’s free standing pull up bar or the Pull Up Mate are the most popular choices here. Gains in size and strength come from progressive overload and time under tension, we're able to overload our forearms with our bodyweight (heavier than the barbell you're reverse curling) for a longer duration of time per set (your goal should be to aim for a 2 minute hang). You'll Increase Your Shoulder Range of Motion One of the greatest advantages (or disadvantage) of bodyweight training has, is the shear amount of choice when it comes to the exercises you can do. You may refer to this pull up bar exercises guide as a library of knowledge on the best bodyweight exercises you can perform with as little as this one piece of equipment.

Make sure you have the resources and tools to correctly mount or assemble whichever bar you choose, as the supporting weight and warranty will only apply if the bar is assembled correctly.A doorframe pull-up bar is typically the cheapest of the different varieties and by far the easiest to install. A free standing pull-up bar, on the other hand, can be assembled easily by a single person and can be done without any additional tools. Most people (understandably) only buy a single pull-up bar, so it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of bar before you buy one. Another small detail is the absence of spring clips on the base parts of the Pull-Up Mate, which can easily cause the base to come loose when moving the whole device around. Although not a problem while doing pull-ups, it is annoying having to reassemble those parts after moving the pull-up bar. Gravity Fitness solves this by simply adding spring latches to all of their joints. Pull up bars give you access to a very wide range of movements from Pulling exercises like the row, skin the cat, muscle up, and typewriter pull up, to the Korean dips, tricep extensions and more. You can also do even more exercises with the use of gymnastics rings.
